:pir: hey there, im creating a 2 player fighting game, and so far ive compleated 4 , fully working characters ( like with attacks, and movement) and some basic stages for them to fight on, but ive got 2 major problems…

the first is proberly not as major as the second. i have 2 Hp bars working, which were working fine when i had them decrease when the player movieclips touched each other ( just to see if the Hp bars would react ) but when i tried to combine them with the my characters… only player1 seems to deal damage…

second of all, ( this being my MAJOR issue) i have no idea how to create a charatcer and stage selector menu. ive tried 2 tutorials i found, one didnt even work, and the seond only works for 1 player, but also screw around with the playable character chosen…

please if anyone is able to help me out by showing me, or linking me to a tutorial i’d be forever grateful. ( im a highschool student, and this is for an assingment.)
