I found it here.

C:\Program Files\GStudio7\projects\carlevel the file logodark.pcx. Copy it then paste it to your projects folder.

If your just using one of the templates, just make sure its in that folder. rebuild try again

it's not unstable
you just need to sort through some simple problems
once you get to understand them you can learn how to deal with them in future

show us the screenshot of the animation problem

There's people here who are willing to help, just be patient with the process, it can also depend on the code base you're starting from. The main problem is that you're using template scripts, which is the best place to start as a beginning but if things aren't set up correctly you can get all sorts of little errors you're not used to.

All beginners to programming know the problem when they make mistakes and get error messages. This is normal and you just must be patient and learn to know what your are doing! Fortunately the error messages tell you what mistake you made.

But if you cant understand programming at all, possibly going to stop using Gamestudio is the best way. When mathematics in school was always your weak side then Game making is maybe not a good idea.

And you are for sure, putting "actor_walk_fight" as the enemies behaviour right? I made me a sample level quickly putting one actor (your player) one enemy (enemy obviously). Putting player_walk_fight as my behaviour. Then the enemies as "actor_Walk_fight" and everything seemed fine. Im not sure why your getting the at all. If you cant walk, I believe pressing, hmmm either 8, 9 , 0 will let you go back to walking I believe. Dont remember exactly what key it was. =o\

Did you delete the camera position? If not, the camera position needs to be deleted as you will be spawning on the player, and not the camera.

for the record, every program has bugs. But what you are seeing is more likely to be a syntactical error, rather than a bug.

out of curiousity- why would you pay so much for a program that you have no idea how to operate? people usually trial an array of different solutions and narrow it down to the best one; THEN purchase it.

Somehow i don't think you randomly selected 3dgs and forked out $800 or so for the professional edition...

Well what are you trying to do?

Player walk fight was from the A5 templates of 10 years ago. You probably have A7. So you mixed up A5 and A7 code. A7 is compatible to A6 but not to A5. Trying to use an old A5 script in A7 is not what a beginner should to for learning game programming. You will make thousands of errors and of course they are indicated by the engine in error messages.

If you want to learn game programming, there is a beginners tutorial with which you should start.

i agree, if you are using the a5 templates use a6 or a7 templates instead,
or do some of the tutorials and program yourself
