Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/games factory problem

This is horribly sad considering how simple games factory is.... Me and a friend used to make lots of platformers with it for the fun of it (usually days I was bored and wanted a break from coding)
anywho, my Half brother was talking about how he wished he could do a fan based remake of "Wonderboy 3", so I introduced him to the Games Factory... I started going through it again so I could show him the basis...
but for some reason I can't get the collisions between player and map to work... :S
I set up the player as platformer-esque control...
then I set up the map tiles as "obsticles" (or platforms... have tried both)
and when I click "try movement" it works fine...
but when I try to run the game or level, the player falls straight through... I'm confused...
can someone help me?
I feel really embarrassed... programming for 8 years and now I need help with "games factory"...
I feel small...

I take it Games Factory is one of them point and click (cheating) thingys...

So nope, I cannot help you... Though, if you want an example of a platformer using Blitz, try this:-

It's just a little thing I worked on, while I was sick of another project!

Dabz: yeah... I know it's cheating... and I prefur to code everything by myself so I feel like I've done something to be proud of... (I'm guessing you would feel the same way)
but my half brother isn't much for coding....
and I figured it would be less stressful to learn one of those click and point thingies than how to code a platformer engine and some basic scripting....

I'll definatley download and check out your platformer engine... maybe I can learn something new :)

I said 'cheating' with my tongue in my cheek! ;p LOL

The platformer example is only a basic thing, because I had to get on... Though, I might finish it off someday! :)

Doesn't Games Factory have it's own forums where you can ask?

I can't actually find any offical forums for it... there are mentions of it in lots of places... but I can't find an actual forum dedicated to it...
I figured someone here might know how to help

Sorry mate, I've never used Games Factory. :)
