    GML Jump and Gravity Question

    I'm a beginner to intermediate in the programming language part, and in GML, and I'm always trying different ways to program something. I've watched different tutorials, and most use the variable "vspeed" for the "Y" in the gravity and jump part. I tried to program using the same "Y" instead of...

So far gravity and everything is working great except one problem, Every like second or few the objects just randomly stop and basically the physics has to reset so all momentum and stuff is gone. Any Help? Code...

    Gravity/Physics are bugging out

    I am trying to build a game in which a car drives across terrain by the terrain moving under the wheels and pushing them up using collision, but whenever I start the game, the wheel flies off the screen to the left ridiculously fast. I traced that the problem occurs whenever the terrain has...

    Legacy GM [SOLVED] Falling damage causes Player to move through walls

    Hello! I've altered my Player's vertical collision so that if he jumps/falls a certain distance and his gravity is normal (the Player can alter it) they take damage. This all works fine. The issue is, once the Player lands they then 'sink into', or rather can move through, solid objects - as if...

    GML [SOLVED]Random movement and collision breaks with gravity

    So the problem is pretty much the title: I can generate random movement for the instance (speed and direction), but when I use the else statement in collision, the instance breaks by jumping to the top of the room, and floating down and through objects. I've also tried just incorporating...

    GML Set x Before Existing Gravity Moves them in a Frame (Possible?)

    Can I move xy cordinates before gravity (that has already been set in the Create Event) moves them in any given frame? Does existing gravity move an object before the Begin Step? I need to know because the order of operations is important for my code to work.
