    GameMaker Sequences reset image_scale variables?

    I'm not sure if this is a bug or if there is a way to get around this but it seems like if an object is controlled by a sequence, the image_xscale and image_yscale values of that object automatically get assigned to a value of 1 even if those values were otherwise set to something else....

    image_xscale not working for jump-through platform

    I have this line that should change the xscale of the object: if (hsp != 0) image_xscale = sign(hsp); When I use it, nothing happens. So after shifting the location of the code in Step, everything remained the same. Eventually I just wanted to try out how image_xscale works so I put in this...

    GameMaker Particle System using Heros xscale

    [SOLVED] Is there a problem with image_xscale?

    I'm working on slopes and they're very sensitive to collision mask changes. I'm getting stuck in the slope when my player object turns around (i.e. when its image_xscale value goes from 1 to -1). I determined that the collision mask is shifting by 1 pixel when the sprite flips but it's not...
