grid

I want to build a 2D Grid from a 3D perspective that looks like this. I want to have control over every tile, so I have considered making each tile into a separate object. But the thing is, performance is very important in my game. And that, of course, is not very efficient. Is there any...

Well, I don't think you got what I mean from the title so I will explain a little bit: I am trying to learn how to make isometric game, I used Shaun Spaldings tutorials and even added the object moving to grid working properly BUT my grid, made with tilemap works strangely because it marks the...

So there is a add instance to a grid but what about remove? Like I add in a new set of walls but when the “Roaming Villager” steps in a button I can then pass through those instances once again as he was able to do before. I’m bad at wording but yea

Hello everyone! I have a relatively simple issue. I'm currently creating a rts style game, and I have a "Fog of War" which is stored in a grid. It works fine currently, however I'm having a major issue with the lag. Drawing the fog on screen is pretty simple, I just have to draw the few squares...

I have been using GMS2 for about a year now, and I have come across a problem I cannot seem to fix. My game starts lagging a lot after about 10 seconds after running the game, and I think that the problem is the grid around the blocks being drawn every frame, but idk. Thanks! Video: Grid...

I was wanting to know if was any way I could check to see how many grid cells one object is away from another. I just have a very basic grid, that I have each cell set to 32x32. I have the player at once position in the grid, and was wanting to store the number of cells that are inbetween the...

Hi everyone. I've been using a depth system that works quite nice. The way it works, is it stores all the objects in the current room in a grid, using each individual object's x and y value. The grid is sorted each frame according to these values. When the player moves, each frame, the entire...

While I'm worried this is above me, for reasons regarding depth I would like to loop through a 2D array starting at a given position and "spiraling" out from that point. The most helpful thing I found online was this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/398299/looping-in-a-spiral?rq=1, however it...

So in a grid with 0's and 1's, for every 1 I want to find the closest cell containing a 0, storing that distance (in cells) in an additional grid. This only needs to be executed once to establish all the distances, so performance should not be an issue, however how could I find the distance to a...

Hello everybody, I am currently trying to make my game's enemies, and I thought I'd start from the most basic enemy, a simple kamikaze enemy. Unfortunately it turns out it isn't as simple as I thought, particularly when it comes to their behavior. The circles are the enemies, the box on the...

Hey there, I'm having a problem with my open world chunks and autotiling via code I was hoping you could help me... I'm using this for auto tiling at the moment: https://marketplace.yoyogames.com/assets/6312/essential-autowall-2 but the edges of my chunks don't auto tile...Here's a Pic...

Hello! after a long abscense i am back trying to finish my first projec, it is a 2d topdown game set in space and one of the enemies is supposed to be able to navigate towards the player without hitting anything in the way (pathfinding) because both the player and the enemy ships get damaged if...

How would I make my enemy follow the player once the player is in a certain range but make the enemy move on a 16x16 grid. I already know how to make it so the enemy will move towards the player but I want the enemy to move in a grid style to the player.

This is a full game engine. With just 3 lines of code you can be running the entire 2048 game. Support for custom images and styles. New update (22-Mar-2019). In this updated I completely re-coded the game engine. Taking advantage of ds_maps for data storage. Shouldn’t be too hard to update...

I'm not sure if this should be posted in Programming or Game Design threads. I'm wondering what the norm is when it comes to deciding the origins of sprites for an isometric RPG? I've got sprites that will be drawn in both inventory and in the room grid. When they're in the room grid, I need...

I'm trying to create a script that returns the nearest instance in 3-dimensional space, by looping through all active instances of the object, evaluating the distance using the built-in function "point_distance_3d", sorting the ds_grid containing the data so that the smallest distance value is...

I'm trying to create an infinite world using chunks. Currently, I'm using a noise function to generate terrain on a ds_grid that is the same size as the room. It looks like this: Now I'm trying to have the world generate in 16 by 16 chunks so I can make the game infinite. My plan was to...
