Simple Platformer Tutorial #1: For Clickteam Fusion 2.5 

This video is started my Game Dev carrier 3 years ago and have games that ACTUALLY MAKE MONEY!

You'd mentioned that it would be good to have some experience with this program prior to watching your tutorial, perhaps by watching another one first, but this is the first tutorial I've watched after downloading the program and I found your instructions to be very straight forward and helpful. Thanks for the great video!

i ran through pause playing copying your game. got the end result and my 4 yo loves playing it. now i just need to add some was to win and fail. thanks dude.

3 years ago, this video was created. Yet It still taught me the basics of what I should know. Awesome mate!

This may have been clarified already somewhere deep down in the comments but "Platform" and "Ladder" are legacy behaviours that go as far back as Klik And Play. Platform collisions mean that a collision is only detected from the top of the background. It's handy for being able to jump up onto a platform from directly beneath it (Sonic The Hedgehog platforms do a lot of that for example). A ladder means that the player object can ascend by using the 'up' input whilst overlapping the ladder backdrop, and can stand on top of it like a platform.

(FULL VERSION ONLY) How to get Platform Movement Object or any other objects 1. Press CTRL + J look to the right and click manager 2.Search on object manager Platform Movement Object 3.Click install 4.Once it is done installing exit the manager and your objects list should refresh with the new extension

platform movement object trouble? 1.full version 2.click manager 3.type in platform movement object 4.install it

I love your tutorial man, I used to fiddle with this when I was in HS and loved it but couldn't afford it. Now I have it but could not remember how to use it :) thanks man!

You may not have the most views, but I greatly appreciate the time you put into teaching beginners. You seem like the only good source for learning this software visually through tutorials.

I used this guide last minute for a science fair project on video games.

Bought CTF 2.5 just now, and this was the first of a few videos when looking for guides. Very helpful!

I have been going to ICT class for like 3-4 years now and all we have been taught is fms logo and like Windows office program things so I decided I wanted to learn programming on my own,I heard click team fusion 2.5 is a good user friendly game programming program so I got and I wanted to make something but I had no idea what I was doing so I decided to watch some tutorials and the only good one that was more for like first time programmers was this video. I understand this program better now and its all thanks to you.

You did some really in-depth gamemechanics in such a short time. Love the pace bro! Nice video (7 years later xD)

Damn, this possibly the best tutorial I have ever seen! You got a new subscriber.

Thank you! That was very informative and helpful, something you don't find much on RU-vid.

This is the video which made me understand the basics of clickteam. And then making me the developer i am. Thank you so SO much for this video, it was extremely helpful

this is the simplest and most understandable video on clickteam fusion and entertaining too on youtube thanks so much learned lots

ohhh the feeling of making my little mipo finally move... i'm going to hopefully make a game using this wonderful tutorial and it will be MIPO DA DIGGER and i will probably add some other things to it like laser shooting maybe

excellent tutorial. I did have to read the comments to figure out how to download the platform movement object. outside of that, spot on. good to hear you don't really need a "custom movement engine" or whatever just to make a platformer.

Thank you for a great tutorial! Greetings from Poland :D

Ever try those colorblind glasses? They make some for indoors too.

your the first youtuber that I watch that is colorblind! and your making games, that is cool!

Thanks for the clear tutorial but,omg, this is a lot more arduous than actually learning code (at least JS or C# for Unity)!

thank you very much for this tutorial, you have given me the confidence to try! :)

Man, you really have a knack for doing great tutorials no matter the software. Stinks you haven't done one in awhile.

Thank you for your Tutorials ! They are a great help !!

Who else is from humble bundle?

I have ClickTeamm Fusion Developer 2.5 I don't even see the platform object mover. Did they rename it?

Platform lets you press down to go through and ladder allows you to press up when overlapping and climb, but yes that is using the old built in platfrom movement stuff.

Thank you so much for this tutorial, it was very easy to follow the instruction and I never knew about the paint tool! It is going to make things so much easier from now on! :) Thank you so much, will watch the rest of your videos, keep up the good work!

this program is a MILLION times better than game maker! Also very easy to follow. Thanks!

for some reason, my active character stays intact when the frame starts, and, he cant move! i did the exact same thing you did in your video!

This is my first commend and comment on youtube ; thank you and well done almightyzentaco. :D

Fantastic video. This was really helpful for me (as an absolute beginner to this).

really helpful its really helped me , i didn't tried clickteam fusion before

Nice vid. I have had Clickteam for a while and finally got myself round to trying it. Once criticism would be that you could have highlighted that you need to install the platform object from the manager.

wtf i cant find Platform Movement Object Can i download it somewhere?

Thank you almightyzentaco, You helped out heaps of people learn Clickteam (I taught myself hehehe) And I hope you continue helping people like my friends and that guy below this comment and the one a bit below that one

Thanks for the tutorial. Very helpful and time saving.

You have the best tutorials! Thank you so much.

7:54 Colorblind? That's interesting, I guess I just didn't notice until I heard this part.

I can't find the platform movement object when i search it

saw this video and thought i'll give fusion another try! thanks for sharing :)

This video always help me. Thank you man!

I am game maker and currently uses g develop and I wanted to ask you how this is better than gdevelop As in does it allow us to change camera movement like from first person or third perosn

God damn it this was great. Thanks a bunch for this!

Can the platform object be used for a Zelda like RPG? Apologies just found the channel, known it’s been a while since this was posted

I just completed the first tutorial that comes with the program, the "breakout" style game. It seems you do everything completely different than their methods. For example, the way they handled collisions with the ball and objects, seemed far more elegant than the way you chose to do collisions. If you are familiar with the tutorial I am talking about, is there an advantage to doing it the way you chose instead of the tutorial way? Now that I have typed this, I am thinking about it more and I think what you are doing, is trying to have less "events". Also the way in the tutorial is to just have a titlescreen first and just have everything pre-assigned, rather than assigning it all at the start of the game. Can you explain some of the differences for me? From my perspective, your methods seem a lot more confusing than the CTF 2.5 tutorial. Thanks.

How do you make an non scrolling platform game? I mean when you move out of the frame(left or right) the camera jump to that frame

dude you really make good videos, I subscribed you long ago but I wanted to let you know that! :D

Oi, tudo bem? Gostaria de saber se é possível me dar uma orientação. Faço um jogo para minha tese no clickteam fusion. Para ele ser validado só falta um ajuste. Tenho um pomar que colhe laranjas e elas vão para uma mesa. Só que na teoria o mouse não poderia colher as da mesa, só as da árvore. Não estou conseguindo isolar o efeito na mesa. Já coloquei um active na mesa e coloquei a condição de parar a animação do mouse ao colidir na mesa, mas o mouse continua colhendo. Você saberia como posso resolver? Obrigada.

For those who can't find the "plaform movement object", you need to purchase the full version to use it. Extensions cannot be downloaded onto the free version.

Wow this Tutorial is very good but i need to buy Clickteam fusion 2.5 Standart to make a real game

Which is the best and more easy way to make games in ClickTeamFusio2.5 or the developer edtion? which is best.

i cant find the platform movement object

Hi i know it is very late and i hope you could answer as quick as possible.I'm currently making an horror game with platformer style but i want the level to show up only if the tv is turned on , i don't really know how to do that , because it's note possible to code backdrops and actives cannot be obstacles , is there an object for that ? or a way to do it? Thanks (ok whatever i found how to do it)

nice tut. Just curious why you use the platform object, rather than just use the platform type? Is it to teach the coding part?

Liked the video (thumbs up) but your absolute basics were beyond me and my free version I just downloaded (did do the tutorials that came with it). I know its hard to remember how it was when you were first using a new program so it's easy to speed through things you've done so many times without explaining things a bit more. Thanks though.

my version of clickteam [2.5 full , developer] does not have this platform movement object

Thanks a lot for dis tutorial, sort of divine mexican buddhist and practice plate of meat with tortita...

Been watching quite a few of your tutorials and they're brilliant, so helpful. I'm having a very strange problem though, where the main character slowly floats up (not stuck in an obstacle or anything). Trying to move left or right will make him reverse very slowly and jumping only slows is ascent. It worked fine and then suddenly this happened. The only think I remember doing is deleting an active object? Apart from that I'm clueless. Any help would be greatly appreciated :D

Thanks so much for this video! It help a lot!!!

Hey i have a question how i make a limit with the counter like i have 15 boxes and the counter goes to 0 and i cant create more boxes

why is my charector floating instead of falling in my game?

Great video. Thank you for your time!

Hey almightyzentaco I was just on the forums and apparently you can even create games for flash and Xbox one using Clickteam Fusion 2.5 and maybe soon we can create PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita and Nintendo switch games using Clickteam Fusion 3, including creating html5 and Xbox and flash and iOS and android and pc and Mac and Linux using Clickteam Fusion 3, one day

"I am here to make a short video" little did he know he would make a WHOLE lot more later in his life

not working anymore

I CANNOT FIND THE PLATFORM MOVEMENT OBJECT >:(

The quality is really good for 2015

you are awesome! keep up the great work!

Great tutorial, works great

THANK YOU VERY MUCH ;D

I have the free version and can't get the platform movement thing. Are there any free alternatives?

Am I correct that you can use this MMF 2.5 on a Mac to create your games?

thanks for the video it was a lot of help!

This is really great! Btw I subscribed

I import my sprites into it but how do I get rid of the background color it just become plain white so how do I fix this

With this software, I could make a game based on Haunted Animatronics

Am I able to make it so it can jump twice in the air and then stop?

when I click on the run my character wouldn't move

What if the active object is created with only one Stopped animation?

I do fall so fast why?

Hi! it's all good, learned something new, but... Attached a simple animation: stand, walk. The problems started with the collision.

im stuck on a project and please someone help me (explain or make a mfa file for me to look at). Let say you have 2 active objects, let's call them A and B.. i want to spawn B every seccond at x,y possition relative to where A is and B will always go to x possition relative to itself +1 (it will move right until it's out of frame)..A can only spawn B if B is not touching/overlaping A..easy so far..now the problem im facing..when i rightclick somewhere in my frame i want to spawn another A realative to x,y of mouse possition..the thing is that if i have 2 A in the same frame in different cordinates thay will only spawn B if BOTH A are not touching any B's, i want them to behave as seperate induvidual objects so even if my first A is touching a B the seccond A can still spawn B (yes i have tried using flags and alternative values) but same result anyways:( someone PLEASE help me :/

Very usefull thanks a lot!!.

New sub and like your stuff.

How does he select the entire image to delete it in the active object/background image editor? like I can hear him hit a few buttons then he can delete the entire image and I forget the buttons to do that.

Could you help me,please?! How shall I make the characters in the game for android jump at certain points?..I created active objects (like arows), Left and Right will be responsible for moving the character, but I don't know how to use them! My game is seen from the up side.The hero should just move quickly to the left and right to certain points Thank You!!

hi! my character skips over small objects(square obstacle), without jump

Looks like this doesn't work like the older version (Games Factory), where platform movement was built-in to a player object. You didn't have to set up extra events like, "Repeat while left arrow is pressed"...you just set an active object as 'Platform', and voila. GF had fewer features, but was simpler to code

can you please make a 2 player game with a platform movement object for xbox gamepad, my dude

Would using the platform movement option under movement options in the properties work for the movement? I can't find the platform movement object. I have the full version and I can't find any download for it

I'm falling even though I did what you said about the problem, pls tell me what to do or check

Great tutorial, thanks!

Nice tutorial bro thanks

Thanks man :)

Thanks for the video!

You deserve so many more subs

Easy to Follow ,Thx!
