Running

Hi everyone. I browsed quickly through the topics, but none seemed to address my little problem: I don't want my character to be able to run from the beginning, yet she keeps doing it even though the start position is set with the red ball ticked off. How do I fix that?

Thanks and sorry for the hassle!

Are you testing the level or actually running it from KS itself? Because when you select test, there's a separate little set of icons that you have to check to determine which powerups you begin the test with, and run is on by default.

To set starting power-ups, you must select "Set start pos" click the ones you want to toggle, and place the character. (Note: If you don't click somewhere on screen to set the starting position, your power-ups won't be saved.)

I click "Set Start Pos", uncheck every box (I check them all, then uncheck them again), select a new starting position (just to be sure), save, run Knytt Stories, load my level... and find my character still running.

HOWEVER, when testing the level from within the editor, the set-up works as expected. Every other modification to the level registers correctly.

Were you running from a previous save? Did you make sure to set a new start position without run power-up checked?

You were right about that, I didn't think about it! Thank you very much, now I've got my (first) level like I want to.
