Hey im haveing a Problem When I Reached the part that Said Collision Groups I Didn't Find it in Stencyl And i didn't Even find the game Settings
Something inside of Stencyl likely became corrupted. If you haven't done much in Stencyl yet, try doing a complete uninstall, re-download Stencyl, and re-install it. If you have files that you wish to save (or if that does not fix the issue), then I would suggest going to the Stencyl forums and posting in "Ask A Question", adding in the zip file and anything else you can find. I am not good personally with issues involving Stencyl itself.

Great tutorial. I'm all set to try it out myself (I've read the old version on the Stencyl site) and just waiting to download it now. Great work Abigayl, I can't wait to see your other tutorials.
In 2.x, Stencyl got rid of the old collision codes. Now you need to add event -> Collisions. Generally you will want "with actor of type". (BTW, be sure to check my "Notes" section between this comment section and the tutorial for a list of the major changes to 2.x).
I've heard Stencyl compared a lot to Scratch since they both sound like they have similar building-block-style programming. I have never tried it myself, but from what I have heard, it trades off power for simplicity.
Don't worry about that. Sometimes, a behavior will have attributes that you can configure directly from the actor itself; none of my behaviors take advantage of that.

Thanks a lot for your effort, this is a lot of help to get started. There's a newer version out of Stencyl, wich slightly differs from the one shown in your tutorial, but most of the time i managed to do the same as you. The only large difference was around the test colission part, but i figured it out in the end. Thank you!
Should I make the "Extra Information" heading bigger or re-word it? In that news post, I go over all of the changes to the current version. I'm glad it helped though.

hey, I didn't find the "always" thing in the coding (where "if", "otherwise if") and how do you make an actor like that mine always is a square :D?
Starting in 2.0, you need to first "Add Event" (it's close to the top on the left side). "Always" is one of the "Basic" events. I think that answers your question... was a bit hard to figure out what you are asking.

this must be out of date. I click actor behaviors and the choices look different. I create new and I cannot drag any commands into the left side because there is nothing there yet
This was for Stencyl 1.0. I have worked hard though to keep the "Extra Information" section up-to-date with any changes. For example, the third listed is that the headings are no longer naturally there. Instead you need to click "Add Event" on the top of the left-side palette.
Thanks :). Unfortunately, it will never get badges. For some reason, when I made this tutorial, I figured that since I hadn't explained how to use Kong API in the tutorial, that I shouldn't use it myself... so no badges are possible (and I lose 10% of revenue for my second most-played submission)... and now the original file is lost from a computer crash, so I can't even fix my mistake :(. I appreciate the support though!

Hi, I started learning Stencyl this week, I just finished this first tutorial and have two questions: for this tutorial, is normal an actor looks like "out of orbit" when it collides with another actor? In this tutorial, how the "reload" transition should work?
I don't understand your first question... As for the second, it should black out the screen and come back the same screen but restarted (no blackout if you use a crossfade). For your first question, if you can send a PM or come to my livestream (livestream.com/poweredbyflowers), I can get your response faster and can try to help :).

How can I pick a category? I clicked actor behaviors, but I don't fund movie category. If I create an actor behavior without pick category i don't see orange code in palette , I can't see "always" , "when created" , "when collides..." I cant' fund category of behavior, and I don't know how to see
Please see the "changes to current version" in my news posts. The category doesn't matter so they got rid of it, and now you have to click "add an event" to make the headings.
The amount that they spawn is based on the time loop. In the tutorial, I suggest "do every 0.1 seconds", but if you want to lower the amount, increase the time between spawning. For example to spawn half as fast, use 0.2 to double the time between spawns.
