    SOLVED Sprite hitbox doesn't collide with "precise per frame" except for the first frame

    I have this strange occurence where the hitbox of the instance doesn't collide with another specific instance. The only time the instance's hitbox "connects" is on the first frame. - Any frame after that does not connect. - It doesn't matter if I adjust the position of the hitbox to where the...

    GameMaker Sprite Changing with frame

    Is there a way to change a sprite but keep the frame number? I can't seem to find the code anywhere. I assumed I could just set the frame to the current frame but I can't find the code to put in to do that. Thanks!

    Hello, i'm trying to assign basic movement/collision in my game but i'm having a weird problem I can't seem to pinpoint. All I have is one character and another object to test collision against.

    Waiting Frames in a Script?

    Hello everyone, I have been toying at this problem for quite a while now. It's simple: would it be possible to wait a certain amount of frames in a script that only gets fired once? So it's not in any sort of step event, just when right arrow key is pressed, it fires a script that has a bunch...

    Discussion Save Frames in Order

    I was wondering if there's a way to save the frames of a sprite in order in the sprite's folder. I want to be able to drag all of the frames into a gif converter without having to copy, paste, and rename all of them one by one.

    I've been trying to check the frame number that my animation is on and if it's say, frame 15 (out of 30) Then loop back to frame 3 and continue looping 3-15 until another variable is changed. No luck. Anyone know a snappy work around to this? Thanks!

If I set the code as obj_switch.alarm[0] = 0; then the code sets it at 0 but doesn't run the code in...

    A couple of weeks ago, near the start of the public beta, I successfully converted a sheet that contained over 200 individual sprites into frames. Today, I attempted to convert one which contains 617 frames (You may think I'm crazy, that's fine :p), and the editor locks up. But I'm curious if...
