instance_create

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...

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...

hello, first of all bear with me because this is probably going to be long. so I'm trying to make my wave system work. first I've set some variables in the create event: Last_Pause = 0 //how many times the spawner spawned enemies in 1 wave( a wave is split into 5) global.Wave = 0 //current...
