Hi, I'm working on something in my free time but having issues with getting the engines right. I've done them before in the past but bit rusty now and have since deleted the old engines due to formatting and HDD problems, I'm not sure how to start.

 
If you fail, try try again... You'll get it in the end

There are a few engines on the site, I even uploaded one!
If you do want to code it from scratch and not look at other code, could you be more detailed about what you want?
Something like walking could be as easy as:

-Repeat while Left Arrow is pressed
-(Negate) Repeat while Right Arrow is pressed
+++ Set X pos. to X pos. -1
+++Change animation to walking

(And reverse for the other directions)



But what exactly do you need help with?

 
Your just jealous that you're not as awesome as me.

I done what you did. Works well. The main issue I have is gravity and jumps. I never was any good with maths though.

I really need help with the platform engine. I keep having my player floating off in to the big blue yonder like alex kid's ghost... lol

I done them before but for some strange reason the jumping never works.

How many counters would be recommended to pull off the full engine?

If you want an easy platform, just right-click your active object and select movement > platform movement.

To stop the character from falling into the ground, right click the backdrop floor object and click Obstacle. In the event editor, put

Character collides with obstacle background > Stop Character

It's a little buggy, somtimes the character gets stuck in roofs and walls, but it's suitable for beginners.
