image_index

This isn't really an issue, just wanted to share a solution I found in case anyone else runs into this. If you draw sprites manually (ex. draw_sprite_ext), image_index can get messed up because it can return a decimal, and it can also increase larger than the image_number, basically...

Using the code below I populate the room with an object, but I'm also trying to dynamically change the image_index of the object that gets placed down. For example the first object gets placed as image_index 1, then the next object that gets placed would be image_index 2, etc. for (var i = 0; i...

Hello, I sincerely plead that someone helps me with this, as I am going insane pulling my hair out trying to resolve this issue... This is a critical problem for me, and if I can't resolve it, I'll have to scrap months of professional work and move to different game engine. All code is posted...

Hello there! Hope you are all doing great. It's been a long time since i asked around forums about this specific issue i had but sadly those posts most likely no longer exist and my project was lost as well so deja vu i guess. Anyways straight to the topic. Is it possible for anyone to help...

Hey, is there a possibility to have a sprite inside of a string message? I am creating a sign that guides the player and in the message it should display like: "Press X to Jump". The X would be replaced with a sprite of X, because the player could for example modify their keyboard settings and...

When upgrading to GMS 2.3, there was a significant change made to image_index when it's manually incremented, as documented here by a different user: GMS 2.3+ - image_index in GMS 2.3 | GameMaker Community (yoyogames.com) As such, I went through the tremendous effort of finding and fixing...

So, i'm creating a Dash function for my game and it's very simple, however, for some reason it's stopping before intended. Basically it works most of the times, but sometimes it stops right at the beggining, or in the middle of it. This is how i start the Dash. if...

so im in the middle of making a running animation(running to the right) for one of my characters, and because I have all the limbs of the character on different sprite layers, I cant easily just use the rectangle select tool and then the mirror tool, to make a running left animation, mainly...

i need to do something in a certain frame of an object, the code i wrote is: if (image_index == 25) { image_speed = 0; } it's wrote in the step event and it's very simple, but when the animation reach that frame the animation speed doesen't sets to 0, it's like gamemaker dosen't even...

I am trying out game maker to see if it is worthwhile to convert my old c++ game to game maker so I have downloaded the trial version of game maker. After some initial frustration getting animation to work due to, what turns out to be, a bug on the image_index code. I found out that the issue...

The issue I'm having is that my animation is freezing on image_ index = 0 , The initial sprite in use is made up of only one image ( spr_enemy) and in the code I switch it out for spr_EnemyBP which is made up of two images. The switch is made by a boolean variable that is set to true when my...

Hello GameMaker Community this is my first time using the forum and I don't have much knowledge in programming but as a starter I am willing to open for learning and understand the basics of gamemaker language. As a starter, I wanted to make a platformer game and I followed tutorials on...

Hi, I'm trying to make my character blink by switching sprites from 0 to 1, problem is that sprite 1 stays on too long, I need him to close his eyes for just half a second so I wrote this line of code to make the sprite 1 stay for 10 frames: It's a step event i = 0 Speed is 0.1 FPS but it...

I am very very new. I know that Sprite_Index chooses which Sprite, I think Image_index chooses which frame of a sprite, and I have no clue what Image_number does?

Hello! So my state machine appeared to be working however when I tried to look at shaking the screen at certain images within a sprite I ran into an issue. The value of image_index is not adding up...it doesn't want to go over more than about 3.33 even though the sprite has 10 frames...now to...

Good day. I've got a problem with the variable "image_index" in HTML5 and I don't know if it's my or GMs fault. The problem is that in Windows VM and YYC, you can set image_index to decimal values like 1.5, 1.82, 2.3 etc. and in HTML5 you can't. If I do "image_index = 1.6" in HTML5, the...

Hi, Ok first of all i know this question has been up several times but i feel like there has´t really been a really good answer to this. How do you tackle this problem where you want to play a specific sound on a specific frame(image_index) in a sprite_index ? I have gotten this to work...

I making a platformer and want my player to switch his image_index for a whole jump. My problem is that at the climax of my jump the image_index switches for an instant. I could use an alarm when jumping so the player is always in the wanted sprite but I think this is cheap. Is there a better...

I am making a platformer and I want my player to duck. I have two possibilities. 1. Make the player switch between sprite_index(doesnt work because I also must switch to my power up sprites) 2.Make the player switch between the image_index I think its more practical to do it with the second...
