I am a beginner at programming in gms and while I have down the basics of the camera and getting it to follow an instance I wanted to make a game in which the player would have to continually move up in order to not die. Behind this concept I wanted to make it so the camera is constantly moving...

What's the most efficient way to learn to use GameMaker? I watched the provided tutorial videos, and afterwords figured that I would being by trying to use the DnD system, as well as my (extremely rudimentary) understanding of coding to try to create a specific system of movement. I know what I...

Hi, everyone: I'm not only new to this forum, but also to game development. It's great to meet all of you! I've taken a couple of programming classes over the years, but I still consider myself to be an absolute novice. I have some ideas for a game, but nothing is set in stone—and I imagine my...

So I'm pretty new at this, so bear with me. I've watched the YouTube tutorials and read the forums and stuff and they're all great. Right now I'm just learning how to do stuff before I get into building a real game (got to walk before you can run as they say). My current project consists of an...

Hey all, Just got GMS2 and while it's not my first time coding I'm pretty out of practice and will probably be on here a lot haha. I just completed the tutorial but wanted to add my own little flair to it: an end screen that tells you your final score and lets you replay the game by pressing...

I have just recently got into Game Maker. I am using Game Maker 8.0 Pro. I am using it it simple mode and not advanced. I just need help with ending the game or moving to the next room once all of a certain object has been destroyed by the player. I have an object called pellot that destroys...

Hello guys, I don't write or speak English very good but I think it is possible you understand me. Well, few weeks before I started to watch some video tutorials about GameMaker Studio 2 and some times see something like this (gravity = 10) and in another video see like this (gravity = .5) and...

Hi, I am fairly new to GameMaker, so if you wouldn't mind simplifying things, that would be awesome! Please let me know if I need to explain this better.... I was recently playing around with objects and getting a character to simply move when I came across an issue. I am using a very simple...

Hi, I'm new to gamemaker studio, and this is my first post on the forums. The problem I have been encountering uses the following code: //Movement if (keyboard_check(ord("W"))) { instance_change(obj_player_up,false); obj_player_idle.y -= global.playerspeed; } if...

Hello, I've very new to GMS, I'm currently working on learning the different coding and used the same code I used from a tutorial learning how to make the character's sprite speed look good but when I used it in a new game with little to know differences the sprite speed is going way too fast...

Hello, i'm sorry for this silly question but i have just begun studying GMS2 and don't know much about it yet. I am using the following code on a Step event to get enemies to chase the player if he gets too close to them: if (instance_exists(obj_player) && distance_to_object(obj_player) <400) {...

I have no idea if this is the right place for this, so if not, I apologise and I'll remove. I have created a couple of projects in Gamemaker 1.4, and have enjoyed using the system. Now I'm looking to investigate shaders, as I want to apply some more complex effects to some sprites. I'm a...

Trying to throw a ladder in my game but I'm having some problems. Right now, the player attaches himself to the ladder fine, switches to a "climb state" and moves up and down the ladder without a problem. He'll drop or jump from the ladder as well based on a keypress. However, when he climbs...

Hello! My name is Ivan and this is my first post here! I'm a videogame enthusiast but with not much idea of programming nor artwork, but I can manage myself to do a little bit of both thanks to drag and drop engines. My first and only engine has been Construct 2, which I learnt for a few...

Hi! I'm an absolute beginner, I've never taken a course or anything, I've been playing around with Gamemaker Studio 2, using tutorials, etc. In the intro of my game, I have a room with an object that, when I press space, creates an instance with my fade in/out object, which switches to the next...
