    Value not changing permanently?

    This time i tried to set up a variable that makes the code do one action if true and another if false. However, it seems what I have is not changing the variable. function CutsceneTextBox(DialogueIDScript) { TextDone = false; if TextDone == false && !instance_exists(oTextBox) {...

    Checking value directly vs using a boolean

    Hey, I used to intuitively know (or a case of never really thought about the use case for each approach) but I've confused myself and would like the following clarified.

    place_meeting trouble

    I'm making a basic space shooter arcade game and instead of using the built-in collision event I'm using place_meeting. Since this would have to be in the step event and the step event runs every frame I made a boolean variable named hit that will become true once an enemy hits the player's...

    GameMaker Vertical Collision Clipping

    Back in the days, I made a no-overshooting and pixel perfect collision checking script. 2 weeks ago I implemented a platform system that works like in Terraria. You can jump through it and you can drop down by pressing down. Platforms are working perfectly but there is a glitch that I couldn't...

    Legacy GM Some help for a "within" type expression?

    Hi everyone! Sorry to be consistently bugging people with 'noobish' questions, but I can't seem to find an answer anywhere! Is there an expression for evaluation of ranges in if statements? As in, is there an expression I can use to stipulate: if variable is within 0 and 10 { Do this } Or is...

    Legacy GM Trigger code every other step.
