collision

I have a cone of vision for my enemies, and I want it so that the part of the cone that is through a wall doesn't get drawn, and maybe also have a line drawn where it is colliding. Something like this: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1sYwbd0rosreMgZuA9t8khvZcK9nfsyTm/view?usp=sharing Any ideas...

I made a platformer with moving platforms, but there is an issue. When I get between the moving platform and a solig wall, I get stuck in the wall. I want the player to die when he gets crushed like this. How can I check for this situation?

I have an object set up to specifically follow the player object around my game and for some reason the follower object is always shaking when it follows the player and when the player stops moving. If anyone could help me figure out why it keeps doing this and to solve this issue I would be...

hi there. there are many problems im having with the enemy but this is a big one when i touch the enemy, both the enemy AND the player get stuck. code: PLAYER: CREATE: hsp = 0; vsp = 0; grv = 0.4; walksp = 8; hp = 100 state = PLAYERSTATE.FREE hitbyattack = ds_list_create(); enum PLAYERSTATE...

Hey All! I'm currently working on a recreation of the popular platformer "VVVVVV" and started using the view system in GameMaker to make small, 640x480 levels in my project. These levels are all contained within one room, and when the player walks far enough out of one view it switches to...

Hello everyone, Currently working on an idea that I have and it involves spawners as a method to bring in enemies. However I don't seem to be able to work out the logic on how to do so. Create Event: ros = room_speed * 5; minRange = 64 * 2; maxRange = 64 * 4; minSpawn = 1; maxSpawn = 4...

I have discovered a quirk in how precise collision is determined with the collision_line() function. Using a small sprite (8x8) with one color and several frames as a map* for collision, most of which are angled slopes and one frame as a solid block, I learned that this solid block does not...

So i wanted to create a function that checks for tiles using a line, i came up with this: /// @function tile_line_collision(x1,y1,x2,y2,tilemap_id) /// @description checks for collision with a tilemap using a line /// @description it returns true if it finds some collision with assigned tilemap...

Alright, so I am working on a platformer game in which you play as a slime and make your way through levels. I am using a heavily modified version of Shaun Spalding's code. I have many different sprites that I switch between, however I gave them all the same collision box. (Modified). I suspect...

i know this is some very basic stuff but cant seem to wrap my head around it. im making a top down game andtThis is the code i use for movement/collision: vspeed = 0; hspeed = 0; if(keyboard_check(ord("W"))) vspeed -= 4 image_speed = 1 if(keyboard_check(ord("S"))) vspeed += 4...

Hi there, Total rookie here — So I've done my collision coding and it all works as it's expected to... except for in one direction. If my player is above, to the left or to the right of an object wall, I will collide right up against it like I'm supposed to. But if I come up on the wall from...

hey yall, imhaving a problem with a sprite change and collsion detection my code is down below and was wondering if anyone could help. basiclly the problem is when a drop of oil falls from the ceiling and lands in my players bucket, it should set the my score which is global.throwbucket to += 1...

need help.. i want to reduce my hitpoint by only 1 hit point when collision with the enemy. What actually happen in my game is that the player reduced the hitpoint by more than 1 hitpoint (usually 4 hitpoint) before immunity turn on. if(immune == false) {...

Hello! I want to be able to resize this triangle object to any shape or size and be able to walk up and down it smoothly. https://gyazo.com/838978e78c96136101337cc7111c67d5 Example of what I have ^ This is my collision code. I need it like this to handle the acceleration of my player object...

Just as the title says, I'd managed to sort out the collisions of the ball from fine folks here with a place_meeting code in the ball's Step Event: [code] //Collision Checks// //----------// //Horizontal// //-----// if place_meeting( x - 1, y, all) || place_meeting( x + 1, y, all) {...

I have had this collision issue with my player for a while. So when I get the the edge of a collision the player (or in this case the enemy) gets either stuck completely or bugs out like in the gif. Anyone know how to fix this? Below is how this particular collision is overlaid

Hi there folks! :) I am currently working on a game which is a breakout derivative in which the paddle is a ship and the ball is a ball of energy. I am using GMS1.4 and trying this code in the ball's Step event, yet the ball literally just zones through everything which does not have a separate...

I tried usong shaun spalding's method of making my sprite able to jump around the platforms. However, when the sprite jumps at an angle it sometimes perfectly hits the convex corner of a stationary platform above it. When it hits this corner, the sprite gets stuck in place until i make it move...

Hey all! As a sort of pet project I've been attempting to recreate the game engine for the popular indie game VVVVVV within GMS 1.4. Everything has been going smoothly so far but I've had an issue for a few weeks now and I just can't seem to figure out how to resolve it. Within my game, the...

I'm working on a project and I cannot figure out this last step. What I need to do is when birdrightobj gets low health, it retreats to nestobj, restores myhealth to 100, and then goes back into attack mode. The retreat part works, but myhealth does not go to 100 and birdrightobj is stuck to the...
