I have set up some avatars and the events so that a player can choose one, but how do I then keep that avatar on the screens? The event sends the player back to the start screen, and then they can hit start to play the game. The avatar does not show up on the start screen or anywhere else.
Can I have their avatar show up on the different screens?
It depends on how you have set up the avatar images:
a sprite for each avatar
-make them all global objects and put them in a global object group. Use a global text variable to store the sprite name of the selected avatar. In the other scenes you can then use the “Create object by name” action.
the avatar images as animations in one avatar sprite object
-make the sprite object global. Use a global number variable to store the sprite animation of the selected avatar. In the other scenes you can then use the “Create object” action and use the global variable to set the animation.
