new character settings - initialise stats

Introdution:
In some games, there are settings to set stats to where the player wants. 

See Astrox series which are not made with Stencyl. 

The picture above shows an example of game initilisation settings in a game far from being complete.  

How it works

by clicking a button, the game attibute will adjust. 

Limitiations

This case only include the Float which is Number in ActionScript and double in C/C++ . This case excludes initilise saves. 

Prequisites

Making buttons out of actors - opitionally optimsation by disabling collison detection.

Using Game Attributes for other purposes and interbehavior relationships. 

 This game mechanic involves in multiple behaviors. In this case 3, and also some freeform mode which are for public static vars and functions which acts like game attributes but cannot be saved. as well as drawing without using G which is standard in Stencyl in design mode. https://stencyl-nator.blogspot.com/p/drawing-without-using-stencylgraphicsg.html

Scene Behavior - init 

To spawns some buttons. including back and next scene as well as initialisation 

Dwaring section which shows save slot. This is optional. Alternatively use the standard When Drawing ecent. This is an optional drawing without using G.  

This section resets the behavior to default values. 

2. Behaviuor for each adjusting buttons. (code mode)
