It's a excellent piece you gave us. May I ask to have a PDF or any offline version of this great documentation? My net connection timing is limited so can't pay deep attention reading and practicing together. Will be very thankful if done so. Regards Joy Thank you Mal. It's a excellent piece you gave us.

Blender rules!! Excellent tutorial, just took about an hour to skim thru and get a basic game working. Next mission is to learn how to manipulate a rigged humanoid model :) I love the way blender GE works, the logic blocks work great. I've done similar basic stuff with director but this works loads better than that, the friction and other physics look great just by turning them on, unlike director where everything kinda slides about. Thanks for the tutorials, m Great stuff. Blender rules!! Excellent tutorial, just took about an hour to skim thru and get a basic game working.

Best regards... Mal Hi folks,

In going through the tutorial, I noticed that in the section regarding setting a sensor to trigger the restart scene actuator I began to experiment with the game restart actuator and it only seems to fire once per run of the game engine. I tried placing the sensor on various objects including an empty, and it will reset once, but appears to be on a one shot basis. Is this a known bug with this version of the game engine or is it a feature and is there a way to turn off, or reset the sensor to allow a second (or more) restart? I have tried using a keyboard sensor, and the Always sensor, both to no avail. I am running Blender 2.42a and have python 2.4 installed. Thanks.
