    SOLVED How to check the distance between two angles and choose the better way to reach an angle

    Hi everyone! In my project, I have a player that has a direction and objective variables. For example, my actual direction is 0, so my image angle is 0, and my player's sprite is looking to the right. Well, if I press "W," my objective is equal to 90, so direction is going to add 10 until it...

    Check Objects With Angles

    How can I check objects using angles and directions? For example, if I need to check the floor of a character that can stick to walls and slopes, but if I stay at half an angle (for example 14.25 degrees) and I need to check if it is stuck to something, as this is a strange distance I would need...

    GameMaker How to "Encircle (surround)" an enemy ???

    Hi, first of all let me thank to all repoders and apologize for my broken English. I'm working on a game where enemies are eliminated by various kinds of movement (through them, to stay for a while close to theme, etc.). One way should be to encircle the enemy. You press a button and move...

    SOLVED Collision issue (works from all angles but one)

    Hello. Got some weird issue with my collision. I'm aware that this might not be the best code, but I'm still learning. Hard to find complete tutorials on top down movement and collisions (taking sprite/mask rotations into account). But managed to draw the player sprites in the draw event, even...

    Object Angle Help

    Hello, I'm new to the forums and GMS2 in general so forgive my inexperience. So I'm currently having a problem with getting the angle of an object to work correctly. I'm trying to have this object, a shield, move around the player by using the directional keys. Up would set its angle to 90...

    Legacy GM Changing sprite at a certain angle

    So here's the deal. As beginner practice, I'm making a very simple top-down shooter where my character shoots with his middle finger (yeh) which follows my mouse cursor. I've figured out how this is done, but what bothers me is that I can't change the yscale at a certain angle so that the hand...

    Basically, the direction that the player falls in can change and I want the camera to rotate such that the bottom of the screen corresponds with the new direction of gravity. i.e if the direction of gravity is 180 degrees, the camera should rotate 90 degrees so that the player appears to be...

    Legacy GM What is the most efficient method of angle calculation

    Hello, I'm trying to make a sonic like platformer. I would like the player to dynamically change according to the angle of the ground. I don't know what would be the quickest method. I don't want to use the small object/angle variables method because I feel that would become cumbersome and...

    2D bounce and reflection

    Hi there! This is a problem I've been chewing on for a while that I can't seem to fully grasp. I'm just trying to take a ball and have it bounce around a room at a constant rate, say a breakout ball just launching around the room. It hits a wall, and then it bounces off the wall at the angle of...

    So after about two months I finally figured out the code to this sonic like platforming engine. There are a few things that still elude my right now and this is one of the big ones.

    Hello GMC, I'm working on a sonic-esqe physics engine. I have the movement in all 4 quadrants working correctly but I can't seem to get the player to slow when going up a slope or speed up when going down. I've read though the guide at Sonic Retro many times but I used a slightly different...

    Angle comparison problem

    My project is a topview action game. The player can move freely in any direction. I wanted to add a "speed" mode, where the player, instead of moving pending on your keyboard direction (up down left right), could move pending on the direction of the mouse. He would be a lot faster than walk mode...

    GML Placing object by distance and angle, rather than x and y?

    Hi everyone! Strange query I'm afraid, and it could just be me not seeing the whole picture! I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to control the placement of an object using the angel and distance between two objects, rather than x and y? Conventionally I'd call something like...

    Hi everyone, yesterday I found out how to make an object slide against an angled surface, in the same way that most fps games do, where the player rather than stopping still when it bumps into a wall, it slides along it at the angle of the wall, I spent quite a while looking on google and found...
