After pressing start under var select 1 PL1 Should choose their character and then under var select 2 PL2 should choose their character and only after you choose your character then you can press go and each of your characters will spawn in after being pressed. For applicability i made so that PL1 can move with A and D and PL2 can move with <- and -> keys.
DISCLAIMER!!! This code is rid with an ungodly amount of bugs. This is only supposed to be a base version of a working Character select screen. You are free to use and edit as you please and if you want you can give me credit I don’t really care. This code goes through the start screen, the character select menu, and then the characters you selected can can actually be played and anybody with a brain should be able to use this code and make it their own. If your a bit slow and need help the shoot me a message on my profile and i might respond.
