    GML keyboard held key repeating for keys not used in keyboard_string

    keyboard_string works well for normal OS key repeating. Hold a key like "A" and it will place an A, then after a second it will rapidly repeat "A". However, for keys like vk_left and vk_right, these don't affect keyboard_string and don't react to the OS's normal key repeat. I'm working on a...

    I looked all over google but couldn't find any good answers. I'm trying to make it so when you click on a sprite it changes and then changes back. My problem is that the sprite changes back way too fast. Step event: image_index = 0 if mouse_check_button_pressed(mb_left){ image_index = 1...

    Windows Delayed Compile

    Hi all, At first I thought my game was failing to compile, but with no errors listing in the logs it became a bit of a mystery. And testing other apps in my codebase revealed that even my simple apps were failing to compile - or so I thought. Exiting and restarting GMS2 didn't fix the issue...

    Asset - Scripts Say goodbye to ugly alarm solutions - literally write "execute in 2 seconds" or "execute every 10 frames" with this asset

    With our asset, this is now valid Game Maker code: That's what I literally wrote as code to make an image spin. Also, let's say your player is attacked and you want him to be invincible for one second - this is how you do it with our asset: Previously, you had a number of options, most of...

    GameMaker Delay in Event Code?

    Is there a way, other than using Alarms, to make a delay in an event? For example, if I had my own "scr_wait" function to do this, I could use it in the Create event of an object like so: variable = 1; scr_wait(2); variable = 2; scr_wait(4); variable = 3; What this would do is make it such that...

    Asset - Audio Echo/Delay Audio Effect for GameMaker Studio 2

    Hello! I've made an echo/delay effect for GMS2. We all know that GMS2 does not support audio processing, thus no support for audio effects. I've made a workaround for allowing an echo effect, very easy to apply. Just put audio_sound_play_echo() instead of audio_sound_play() and done with it. It...

    GameMaker Apparent input lag?

    Long story short: Somewhere between the game input and the graphics pipeline there's something noticeably delaying what seems to be the reaction of the game character to input. Where should I start looking? Any suggestions on input optimization? Have anyone else dealt with this?
