    Thanks for the tutorial. I tweaked it a bit so I change skins instead of actual characters, but it worked 100%. Thanks again.

    This one was made in a harder way, you could just change sprite index of it…

    I am using game maker studio and when I make an object that is to be invisible but attach to the character like the obj_cam it just makes my character view go to that and the character becomes invisible

    Please help! I have a problem that when I put the obj_select in the next room after selecting the character, nothing appears.

    Now that I've implemented the select screen, enemy#3 no longer follows the player when they get close enough, it just continues to wander around regardless of which character you select. I tried replacing all instances of obj_player1 in enemy#3's follow code to obj_cam, but that had no effect. How can I fix enemy#3?

    this is true so you have two options:
    1) have the enemy check which player is in the room and follow that.
    2) create a new invisible object and have that object be on your player coordinates and have the enemy follow that.

    Dude there's an error, if you are green and you want the "smart enemy" to follow you, he wont because your green and he has a different name and stuff.

    He gives a error at the obj_select so the program don't know the variable select.

    Can you help me?

    @KogC4600DK do you have an object in there that is causing it to skip ahead or does your play button instantly bring you to the play room? huh if you upload your file to yoyogames i can take a look or send me the file over email realtuts@yahoo.com

    @KogC4600DK something is wrong then…look at the objects that you have for the selection and see if you have the room_next() code mixed up in a create event because it should be when you click on the object not just start right away so see if that helps. If not look back on the video you should find your problem if none of this works message me i have no problem in helping you.

    @RealTutsGML thanks it worked, but there is a slightly annoying problem when I press play.
    The character select screen comes up, and it automatically chooses the green guy. Any help thanks!?
