    3D [RESOLVED] Adding centers of gravity to 3D GMS2

    Hey there! After working on 2D projects for about a year I've decided to try out 3D in GMS2. For now I'm focusing on player movement and the visual style, but I know the game is going to involve jumping between small planetoids with their own centers of gravity, and I have no idea how that would...

    I'm trying to do some basic ladder code without state (since I'm not very good writing them) and below is what I have (scroll to the end of second code posted). While the current ladder code works my problem is the player 1) keeps bouncing on top of the ladder once they reach the top----bouncing...

    GML [SOLVED] When apply gravity in platformer game - after calculating all speeds and knockbacks or...?

    General question - when apply gravity in platformer game: 1. after calculating all speeds and knockbacks, etc so gravity should be applied last? 2. or maybe when I calculate basic movement and after gravity add knockbacks, etc? Thank You

    Keep ball bouncing

    Hi all, I have a problem. I created this game where I have a ball that can bounce against the walls, but I also want to keep the ball bouncing for a minimum speed, so the ball can go faster than that, but it must be bouncing a bit! Here is my step event code: //apply gravity yspd += grav...

    Windows Gravity and Key problems

    I watched the tutorial on making a platform game by Shaun Spalding. I have no compile errors and I have watched the video twice now. I have a logic error. Everything runs but when I try and play the game the character zooms off the screen in a straight line. Clearly my gravity, and keys are not...

    GameMaker How can I orbit an object around another?

    I'm trying to make a game similar to One More Line but I cannot think of a solution to making it so when I click a button, it latches on to the stationary object and revolves around it with a fixed radius. I believe watching gameplay of or playing One More Line would help to understand my...

    Windows ArrJiiBii - Short Platformer (Prototype?)

    I took a break from my current game to put this together. It was really fun to use techniques that I picked up over the course of making my other game, but couldn't use because of old code getting in the way. While it's not the most original concept, I really enjoy playing it, which is not...

    Change of gravity based on momentum

    I have been using GameMaker for 4 months now. In the past I've made several platformers but I'm now trying to make a 2d racing game. I am also using the built in physics engine for the cars. I would like the game to check the velocity that the car is moving and if there is a wall under the...

    Programming orbital paths

    Basically, I am trying to make a game where you shoot a missile around several planets, and you have to use the planet's gravity to get your trajectory right. I need to know how to program a system where I can simulate planetary gravity while allowing the player enough leeway that they don't...

    Discussion Moving Kinematic Object in Physics Room

    I'm trying something out working with physics and still a bit new to it. I'm using physic in a room, but I have one object that I don't want to react to gravity, but still want to collide with other objects. So the way I understand it, is that I need to make it kinematic, and the density needs...

I have crates that can be pushed and are affected by gravity, but how would I go about allowing these crates to rotate when they move? As in, if you push a crate off a ledge, it'll rotate a bit until it...
