RPG–Connecting the Rooms of a Dungeon
I just posted a new tutorial on my site that shows how to seamlessly connect rooms built in different scenes so the player seems to move in and out of them smoothly. This technique uses the new 'at index' selection in the Change Scene Behavior.
The tutorial and source file will be available on my site as well.

@jamie_c great tutorial Jamie you speak and explain everything well, no long pauses, urrrrr's or ummm's which is hard to do for 18 minutes. Now you just have to do video 3 multiple actors on screen at the same time
.

Thanks, I try to always explain like I'm talking to someone who has never used Gamesalad before. To do more than a couple actors at a time I'd probably make use of tables and store the X and Y locations there but it would really be the same principle.

@jamie_c yes if there are a lot of enemies spawning then tables would have to be involved if you don't want a massive list of game attributes for self.PositionX and Y. I was looking at this with @jackhammer1000 in thread http://forums.gamesalad.com/discussion/71374/problem-with-health-bar
The problem is recording the X and Y positions to the table in real time. He came up with a solution to constrain the health bar using a timer. I just created a test project to try it and it lags as you can see and it gets worse the faster you go but it works. It can be disguised by making the health bar small than the actor. It may work better on a device I haven't tried that.
I can't think of a better way short of using an image of the actor and health bar combined and use this method to constrain an invisible actor for collisions. An image for each level of damage would need to be created.
I can't think of a way to constrain the health bar without a table and eliminate the lag. Maybe you or someone else can come up with a way to do it.

@jamie_c - Excellent! Great tutorial on AI. So simple when you think about it. Thanks for sharing!

@Braydon_SFX, thanks. I thought it was kind of cool to use the 'limited' collisions shapes that Gamesalad offers to make it work. In this case the circular collision shape that fits the actor (not the graphic in it) is actually a good thing!![:) :)](http://community.gamesalad.com/plugins/emojiextender/emoji/twitter/smile.png)
