animation

is it possible to have multiple tile libraries of the same tile? like have static and animated versions? if not can this be added as a feature? I really don't see why this is not a thing. I created 128 tile libraries for my 8x8 tileset but now they don't animate because I set my static tiles to...

I was thinking of making a little rpg. One of the things I want to do is have a weapon and armor system. What are some ways to approach this? Can I draw sprites over the player for armor and have the weapon be a game object fixed to the player? My characters are rather simple in design so I...

Hello! Yet another cry for help from yours truly. I have an attack state set up for my platformer character. When I press the attack button, my player object switches from (state = script_move_state) to (state = script_attack_state) which basically just has the attack animations in it. For...

Hi evetyone! We make a game and at the moment we have 45 animations and 3 characters, each animation has 60 frames and lasts one second. Downloaded in gif format. After addition of animations in Game Maker 2, IDE began to noticeably slow down and for a long time to be loaded. I have 4 GB of RAM...

Hello! I am fairly new to GM and have been watching tutorials on a side scroller. I have made my own sprites and animations, but when I put the code in, no matter what I do, when I press the left mouse button (attack button), my character plays the 1st frame of the animation, and immediately...

Hey I have been trying to sort this problem out for about 8-10 hours and haven't been able to find anything online to help me nor have I been able to figure it out.
