2d platformer

Hi all. I'm having a strange issue with collision for my enemy object while in its "attack" state in my 2D platformer. While in this state the enemy moves towards the player object if there is no collision with the wall in front of it. This works perfectly with any wall to the right of the...

Hello everyone! Newbie here. So I'm developing a single-screen 2D platformer (think Balloon Fight on NES) and I'm trying to program flying enemies to chase the player around the screen. I've tried a couple of different options, but nothing's working quite right. So I erased any new code and...

Hello there fellow programmers, I have a problem concerning the code that affects the jumping animation of my player in a 2D Platformer. What I want to happen is when the jump button is pressed and the player is on ground I want spr_Player_Jump to play once. Then when the player is the air...

Hello, I am farely new to this program and i am working on a 2D platformer in gamemaker 8.0, but i ran in to a problem with checkpoints.

I'm upon the final level of Adventure Guy(2D Platformer) and I want the last level to be more puzzle oriented. basic premise is that there are three mask bosses with the themes "Wrath(Blind anger), Denial (like denial of progression), and Mocking. I want to make rooms with these themes...

Hi all, looking for some help with a problem I'm having getting pixel-perfect jump heights in a 2D platformer. I started with the usual that most tutorials (Shaun Spalding, Heartbeast) suggest, ie //in create hsp = 0 vsp = 0 grv = 0.3 jumpheight = -7 ...other variables, etc. //in step event...

Working on a simple 2d platformer, with a mechanic where enemies can be grappled. So far all going well, though I made it so that if while the player is grappling an enemy and they take a hit from another enemy, they're supposed to be knocked back and release the enemy. With how this currently...

So about a week ago I asked for some help on how to get my turret objects to fire in any angle I rotate them in. After getting some assistance from some users I got the turrets to fire in the proper direction but now they fire a constant line of bullet objects, creating a beam of bullets...

I'm working on a 2D platformer and one of the simple hazards I want are turrets that will fire at simple 45 degree angles (8 cardinal directions). I have it working now but I feel I did it in the most sloppy way possible. I have separate objects for each turret angle but I also have separate...

The issue: even if I change the speed values, the jumping animation remains a constant speed. The walking animation I can control just fine. [UPDATE: AS IT TURNS OUT, THE PROBLEM IS ENTIRELY DIFFERENT] It's not that the animation frame stays a constant speed, I tested a different sprite and as...

So I've mostly been using Shaun Spalding's tutorials on GMS/GMS2, and I'm currently adding attacks into my platformer game. I have a standard attack so far, but I am trying to add others, such as when you attack in the air, attack with the down button, and so on. However, I'm not sure how to get...

I am having trouble with my 2D platformer. There seems to be some problem with my collision. About 40% of the time my player object lands, it appears that he is half a pixel in the air, instead of being at the same level as the ground. When the player moves horizontally, he has a chance of...

Hello Everyone I'm in trouble! Two months ago I started to develop a 2D platformer. It was supposed to be a simple exercise, maybe a little prototype, but in the meantime it grew, and now I have a ton of assets (not yet even used in the game) and a fully playable demo of the game. It lacks some...

I want to have falling platforms in my game and tried this chunk of code. I have the parent set as the ground object. Under the Step Event - triggered=false; timer=10; if triggered { if timer == 0 grav = 6; else timer -= 1; } else { if collision_rectangle(x-10, y-50, x+10, y+50, Player...

I have set up a tilemap collision system in my 2D platformer using GMWolf's "Tilemap collisions in GMS 2" tutorial. The tile collision system works just fine. I want to make my player die when he falls into pits; so I tried to create an outside room event in my obj_player. I thought this...

v2.1.3.189 My game (loosely based on "Beowulf") has a character who can press 'x' to swing his sword. This creates my (obj_sword_hitbox) in front of the "obj_player" for a single frame. When the (obj_sword_hitbox) collides with (obj_enemy_parent), I want to create a knock-back effect on the...

I'm using the code from this video, I tried searching all throughout the internet for a good tutorial for 2d platformer knockback, however the ones i could find allowed the player to move after being hit, or were for other genres of videogames,like topdown shooters. Could anyone please either...
