Basically, I'm making a level. I won't tell you much, but I'll tell you that it's called Ultra Turtle Blaster Extreme. It's a retro pixel platformer with funny aspects. Blast from the past. Sounds awesome, right? You wanna make sure it's released, riiiiiiight? Well, I have a problem. I dunno how to actually start playing after you click 'play'! So, I have a 2 part menu. The first screen says "ULTRA TURTLE BLASTER EXTREME' and when you press X, it goes to the instructions. Then, after you press X again, it is supposed to start controlling my turtle character made of holograms. how do i do that? I'm not sure how to transfer controls over each controllinator. Also, I need to ensure that the method you tell me works with respawning, because if our ultra turtle gets too extremely blasted, it will die, unfortunately. more fortunately, it will pop up again. Thanks all! EDIT: Also, I'm not too keen on the level-link-when-you-press-play option. Too unreliable and I don't wanna give my players load times.

Use a 1 shot switch triggered by "Start" wired into the input of a microchip. Move the controllinator onto the microchip and set it to 'reviver'. You don't need to do anything to the respawn turtles.

Ok... I'm going to try explaining this in words... xD Umm... All you need is 1 controlinator. Make the controlinator a sender for whatever color you want. Then follow these steps: 1) On that controlinator, put a Selector with 2 outputs and 2 microchips. Connect the Selector outputs into each input for the chips. (This turns the chips on/off) 2) Name one microchip, Menu (Or anything else). This will be the chip that controls your menu. 3) Put a controlinator on that chip and make it a Receiver with whatever color you put on the original controlinator. 4) Hook up all your menu controls and such. ---Now time for that other chip! :-D--- 5) Name Chip #2, Gameplay (Or anything else). This will be the chip with all your gameplay controls on it. 6) For a camera, place a Movie Camera and tweak to how you want. Then place a battery on the chip and plug it in. When this chip is active, the battery will always turn on the camera! :-D 7) Put another controlinator with the same receiver. 8) Hook up all your controls for the gameplay. 9) You're pretty much done! Just add any special things you want to it like followers and stuff and you're done! I hope I helped! I'm not very good at explaining things so if you need clarification or anything, just ask.
