gms 1.4

I can't get my game to recognize any directional input from a controller without analog sticks. Such as a 8bitdo nes/snes usb controller. If I plug in a XInput controller (such as a PS2 w/ usb converter), I can use either the analog sticks or the dpad, but if the controller doesn't have analog...

Hey guys, I changed some stuff ( a bit of code, loaded some sprites and created a few objects ) and from the sudden my game looks very weird now when I run it. Most of the sprites look a bit offsetted and my character menu, which is drawn by surface, is now cutted off (but the surface size is...

Hi everyone, I'm making the farming game (small project). I have the problem with it that means: in my game, there are many rooms. I want to make plant (crop) in room 0 ( pumpkin) growth in 4 days (1 day growth for 1 sprite) and then i control the player move to the room 1 and the problem is the...

I am trying to create a multiplayer RTS game. I have already figured out how to have multiple players move units and have said units avoid other objects, like solid obstacles, yet now I would like to have the units arrange themselves in a formation or grid, once they reach their destination...

Hi, I'm trying to deploy a game to Ubuntu (Linux) using Gamemaker Studio 1.4 in Windows and I'm missing some libraries. I'm using Windows 10 to deploy to Ubuntu Studio 20.04. I've installed the libraries listed on this website, except I'm using lib32ncurses6 instead of lib32ncurses5 and...

I'm trying to make a minecraft-like seed system where you can type some kind of text string and it will be converted to real and afterwards the seed will be set. However, seems I'm doing something wrong with the converter. I didn't follow any tutorials so my code might be completely stupid, I'm...

I have a weird glitch, in GMS v1.4.9999, where I made a randomized generator for level creation. It works just fine, aside from one small issue. Any time I run it, the generator produces results similar to this: The top, bottom right, and bottom left areas are all straight lines. When I run it...

Thus far I am trying to use a surface to create a continually modifyied sprite. Can't get it to work properly and it seems to be creating a terrible amount of lag. Prolly due to the fact that the sprite needs to be updated with every movement of the mouse. if...

I have been using in my project 4 600x600 backgrounds tiled (as they are smaller than the room), the first is just a solid colour, the other backgrounds have some scattered sprites. I am implementing random events on the game and one of them requires a different background which is a radioactive...

Dear Game Maker users, First of all, I would like to say that I am using Game Maker Studio 1.4. Being that said, I go with my problem: I am developing a game in which you can find some plants and flowers. You can of course cut those and collect them (destroying the instances). After destroying...

Hello, Im really lost, I still use gms 1.4 can't find info about how type/remove char from/to string ( " ) Thanks.

Hello, Is there a way i could draw score instead of getting a pop up. current code: var score = 5; gmsb_post = http_post_string(WEBSITE+string(tagid)+"&getscore="+string(score),""); HTTP code: var r_str = "null"; if ds_map_find_value(async_load, "id") == gmsb_post { if...

so i've been working on a platformer project in GMS 1.4.9999, and i've been trying to add moving platforms to it but they always have some issues... so i decided to just scrap it and redo the moving platform collision code from scratch, but nothing i've tried has worked and i need some help any...

Hi! I just wanted to share what I've been thinking about recently. Maybe a solution to export to 64 bit. Well, all the yoyo libraries are at <GameMaker Location>\Android\runner\ProjectFiles\src\main\jniLibs right? GMS 2 has 64-bit libraries already, so what if you copy them over to there? But...

This is a call out for assistance on how to effectively repeatedly execute moments within a single timeline within GML. As part of a game I'm working on, I want to employ a cut-scene mechanic where distinct stages of cut-scenes are all written as a sequence of timeline moments. This means that...

So, I've found the solution! It was entirely on me and I didn't even realize. I was using a "while" loop to do something timeline-style and it was causing the entire software to hang before it even opened a window! In case anyone wanted to know how I figured it out: Other projects launched...

Hi all. I have a player using friction in the move code right now. The view is 256x144, I'm trying to make the player move at a speed of 1.5 pixels, however the speed they move is gradually increased by .1 when they start moving and again decreased by .1 when they stop. There is also a camera...

Hey there! This is a my first post here and i'm new Gamemaker so I got the basic question about making game by using Game maker engine, hope everyone can help or explain this problem well enough for me. Thanks so much! Now, i'm making the small project that the bird can fly (randomly) and after...

So I'm trying to make some sort of F-Zero like racing game, but I'm using the built in speed variables and functions because I don't know how to achieve what i want with custom variables, which is already bad because the built in speed variables are way too jank. The other problem with them is...

Hello, I'm currently in the process of upgrading my old Game Maker for Mac (GM7?) projects to GMS 2. To do this I first have to import the old .gmk files into GMS 1.4, however what I hit 'play' in GMS 1.4 I am getting some errors, and I have no clue what they mean or how to fix them...
