by Jonathan Williamson

In this Blender 2.5 tutorial we’re show how to create a very basic game in the Blender Game Engine with only very basic knowledge. This tutorial covers adding dynamics to objects, setting up hotkeys to move the character and using Properties for more interaction.

    Why does my cube bounces back when it touches another?

      My guess is it is set that way in the physics panel, try playing around with the physics settings to see what can create different results.

    Whenever I switch to GLSL and then change Viewport Mode to Texture, Blender crashes.
    May someone help me out or do I have to try and complete without GLSL shading?

      What version of blender are you using/what graphics card?

    I have made textured object and when i render it, it looks like it should be.
    So when i start the game engine it looks just like in the modelling screen.how i can actually render it, that it is textured and it runs the game with textures. And how i can build the game?

      You need to enable texture mode, you can press Alt+Z to switch to textures, and make sure you are using glsl in the display options in the properties(N) menu

      I experienced the same problem, but I solved it. I selected my camera, clicked the Object button (that little box on the right) and set the Relations > Parent to Iconsphere. Hope this helps

      press ‘n’ and then find ‘lock camera to view’ in the view tab.

    Thank you for this.

    There is enough useful information here to get the user started with playing around with the gaming engine of Blender.

    Much appreciated

    I did this and when I hit “W” he moves forward and the animation plays. Same thing with “S”. So it works. the idle animation plays when no buttons are pressed and the animation’s priority is set to “1″ so the forward and backward animations override it. The only problem is when I hit “W” & “S” at the same time. The animation that it played first will freeze. If im holding “W” then hold “S” the “W” animation will freeze. The motions will work but the animations freeze. I tried making W & S together will play idle but it doesn’t work. How do I fix this?

    I can’t get the velocity to go in the direction that it is pointing in for some reason.
