instance_create

Is there a way to create objects into a room that are stored inside of a ds_grid? Instance_create_layer or depth doesn't like when I try and place a something other than a direct object and gives me an error. I can draw my ds_grid when I have sprites stored in the draw event, but I imagine when...

Perhaps this is the wrong place for this but I would love to start a discussion, even if it never gets implemented. But yeah, imagine if you could do instance_create(obj, arg0, arg1) etc. And then the create event could look like: x = argument0; y = argument1; Or even if the arguments started...

Hello, i speak spanish so my english is very bad,i have a problem, i wanna make a shooter game and i cant. Because "instance_create" its variable and not a function. i see tutorials and forums, and they have "instance_create" in orange. Hola, hablo español así que mi ingles es bastante malo...

Hello! When I enter the room, it reproduces the blocks, but when I move to the next and return to the first, nothing is reproduced in it :( p.s .: rooms are not from GM but are generated in the same GM Room after moving outside the camera. I would also like to know if I can mark these objects...

The instance_create_layer function is not working my code is: if (instance_exists(oPlayer)) && (point_in_circle(oPlayer.x,oPlayer.y,x,y,64)) { nearby = true; if (keyboard_check_pressed(ord("Q"))) && (!instance_exists(oGunPickup)) && (!instance_exists(oGun)) { image_index =...

i am trying to make a top down shooter in gml, i've made all the movement and rotation but i don't know how to make the player shoot, i saw tutorials online and all of them said to use the function "instance_create" but every time i use that it just says it is a variable and it says nowhere that...

Edit: Disregard. I fixed my problem by adding a Step event with global.enemyCounter = currentEnemies; to check the counter every frame and switched my Alarm event code to check conditions before spawning an enemy. Hello all. I have tried countless times to fix my problem. I am somewhat...

Hey, Recently I've been working on my own boss A.I., but I've encountered an annoying problem. Whenever I try to use the function "instance_create_depth" on my bot, on the first frame the instance that it creates spawns in the wrong coordinates which makes it look bad. I've tried many things to...

Hello, I completed the traffic spawning system in my GTA 2 style game, and it worked, but after a bit it stopped. The way it works is it checks the player distance, and then creates a car, and then a pedestrian in the car to drive it. Problem is, the pedestrian only spawns about 20% of the time...

The code is essentially: (during attack frame) { var damage = instance_create(x,y,obj_damage) damage.creator = id; damage.attack = 5; } (in the damage objects create event) z = creator.z; The game crashes and gives me "<unknown object> <unknown variable> "creator" "z" error

Hello GMC, could anybody please help me with something. How do you create an object with variable set to that object say for example if the code below existed: key press Z instance_create_var(x,y,item,var1 = 0 | var2 = 0 | var3= 0) This is the best way I can think to explain it sorry :) Please...

I made a game with a quick intro, the end of the intro is supposed to create an object I tested this a couple days ago, worked perfectly, no problems in windows or HTML5 Today I made a second room to do some testing, after I finished testing, I deleted that room Now HTML5 spawns objects, but...

I am trying to create a button that when pressed creates a GUI on the side of the room. for the GUI to be interactive, i made buttons (obj_more, obj_less) wich should spawn when the button is pressed. But when I try the code I also used for another button (wich worked) it didn 't work. I also...

In an alarm[1] event called obj_ufospawner I have the following code: // set the direction of the UFO var ufo_dir = irandom(1); var x_start = 0; // set the x start point var y_start = random(400) + 60; // set the y start point if (ufo_dir == 0) { direction = 0; // go right x_start =...

I have hurtbox and hitbox objects that are created around enemies and the player in my game, using instance_create_depth(). And that's fine, for the most part, except that when a hitbox is created, I need some way of registering a collision with the hitbox, and the hurtbox (like a collision...

I have a hitbox I create in an attack state for the player. Here is my code: bodyHitbox = instance_create_layer(x + 450, y, layer, obj_body_hitbox); object_set_solid(bodyHitbox, true); bodyHitbox.mask_index = spr_player_attack_1_body_hitbox...

InstanceCreate is my first Marketplace asset for GMS2. I created it mostly as an exercise to make sure I knew how to create assets for GMS2, and also to "fix" a mild annoyance I have with the instance create functions in GMS2. This is a very simple script for GMS2 users who came from GMS1, and...

Is it possible to create object without specifying x and y? The matter is that obj_warrior can be spawned within (x:100, x:200) while obj_archer can be spawned within (x:0, x:100); The available spawn range for each sprite is supplied as their properties (rangeXstart, rangeXend). But I can't...

I was following a space shooter tutorial and in the video they used a code similar to instance_create(room_width+40, randY, Enemy); I found out GameMaker removed instance_create to instance_create_depth or layer but when i tried the new code it says "number of arguments expected 4 got 3. whats...

So I've been making some kind of randomized-Bullet-Hell type of game, and not too complex of course since it is my first time using code and GameMaker. I'm using a timeline to create all of the bullets and the instances, which work well, except for one detail: No many times how I restart my...
