Is there a tutorial out there specific to the sphere skill game? I copied everything from the example of the Sphere game that comes with the game, but I can't figure out how to have the controls follow the sphere. I lose control of the marble shortly after starting. Sorry, I know this has got to be a basic question and it is probably something dumb that I missed, but I appreciate the help.

Can't you just load up the example track with all the logic built in but then build your own course?

Yes, after having the same problem, I loaded the example sphere game. I tried extending the platform that the marble rolls on in the example, but it also loses control. It just appears that all of the logic doesn't following the marble.

You have to change the size of the four directional area effectors range. By default it covers the example area. In seconds, holding the trigger in, you can expand the range enormously.

go back to the sphere example and ignore it.

move right from the original and you'll see another sphere in a box. that will teach you how to use real forces and game variable data source.
now you only need two forces (not the old area effectors) two gvds and 2 two number operators.

now the sphere can go all over the map wooot.

Thanks, I tried it. I knew there was something I was missing. I didn't know the trick about using the trigger to increase the size faster.......Thanks!

I just checked out you youtube channel.......Wow!!! How do you make all of that stuff? I'm just learning this game editor. I saw that 2nd sphere that you were talking about, but I still don't know what to do with it.....super noob here!
