Character customization?

Does AC have a way of doing a basic character creator screen where the player could choose between different characters? This would be for a point and click 2D game.

  • If you set your Settings Manager's Player switching field to Allow, you can assign multiple Player character prefabs that can be controlled one-at-a-time.

    Switching the active Player character is a case of using the Player: Switch Action. If this Action's Replace old Player's position? option is checked, it'll cause the old Player to be swapped with the new one - rather than allowing for both to be in the game at once.

    A character selection screen could be made by starting your game by showing a Menu that has a Button element for each possible Player, and clicking each uses such an Action to replace the current Player with the chosen one. Once a Player is chosen, and the Menu is closed, you can then switch to the next scene that begins the game properly.

    Player-switching is a slightly advanced topic, but you an watch/read tutorials on it here.

  • I hope they pay you well, because you are single handedly training a generation of new game makers. Thanks for all the quick and very informative replies on this forum. It's much appreciated. :-)
