hello braddas, im a developer using your templates and was wondering if you could help me how to code a new character selection to be added to the game scene? i have it coded in the character select but it does not appear in the game scene, i think its do to with what character color is picked?

Hello :)

To make your new added character to spawn in the Game scene, you need to add it to the Spawning codes:
Open Game scene events → "Spawn players" group event → Here you need to add your new character events to every group (Player1 color/Player2 color/AI1 color/AI2 color/AI3color).

Here is a step by step on how to add a new character to the game:
1- Open "Select character" scene.
2- Add your character icon into the scene.
3- Add your new character icon to both group events (AllCharactersButtons | AllCharactersButtonsExceptRandom).
4- Double-click on your new character icon object.
5- Add the animation name (this animation name will be used to check what the player picked in the Game scene), for example, the other characters animation name are (Red/Blue). (Let's say you named yours Jax).
6- Open "Game" scene.
7- Add your character object to the objects list.
8- Add your character object to the required group objects.
9- Open "Game" scene events.
10- Go to "Spawn players"→ "Player1 color" group events.
11- You will find 2 events, each event is for a character (one is Blue one is Red), Copy and paste this event (now you have 3 events).
12- In the new event you pasted change the variable "CharactersInfo.Player1CharacterColor" to = Jax  
(Jax is your character name picked from the "Select character" Scene), and the action is to create your character Jax object.
13- Repeat the 12 step again but for the group events (Player2 color/AI1 color/AI2 color/AI3 color).

Note: I named my characters (Blue/Red/Yellow...etc) but that's just a name, you can name your character to anything you want.
Note2: Soon I will make a step-by-step tutorial video on my YouTube channel, on how to add more characters to the template.
