    Question about script optimization

    Hi there, So I have started worrying about level design and such, and when it comes to level design, one (I, anyway) begins to rely heavily on the good old "invisible floor sensor that runs a script when you walk on it" trick. It works beautifully, thanks to GMS2's wonderful physics engine that...

    Legacy GM Can Anyone Recommend a Tutorial on Memory Usage/Allocation?

    Hi All, As a non computer science major, Gamemaker has been a great tool to help beginners - and you are to an extent protected from all the complexity that goes on "behind the curtains". However, it seems like once you start working on a more complex project, ignorance of what is going on...

    Question about c : drives

    This isn't really a programming question it's more like tech support. I recently got a WD passport thing for some extra memory but I still get memory errors, is there a way to have gm run and compile while the program is stored in the passport's drive since it has way more space? I tried this...

    Impossible to remove Arrays from memory?

    After watching my memory skyrocket after doing some stress tests I noticed that it wasn't going back down, even after "destroying" the data structures that held only arrays. It was my belief that arrays are removed from memory after they are no longer used - but this is not the case in my...

    Legacy GM [Solved] ds_grid Memory Usage

    I currently have an item index that is a ds_grid about 32 by 32 right now. Each row is an item, so it will get much longer in that direction over time. I was just wondering if I should have concerns about how large I make the grid. At what point will it start being an issue because of its size...

    My project folder is currently at 12.2 MB of data for a new game idea I'm tinkering with / using to learn Studio 2. When I first launch Studio 2 I'm noticing that it only consumes about 150MB of memory. Opening my project bumps it up to around 193 MB. So imagine my surprise when I was trying...

    Distribution Does compiling remove unused resources?

    As the title says, I wonder if when I compile, will GS:S keep the unused resources that are still in the project folder, or will it remove them to save memory? I know that I can use the "Delete from resource tree deletes from disk" option from the Preferences, and I have done that for a while...

    [ANSWERED] Freeing Data Structures

    Simple question ( the documentation doesn't answer it ) If I have a ds_map that contains ds_maps, which again they contain ds_maps, and so on. I don't care if it's good practice or not, I just want an answer: Does calling ds_map_destroy() on the 'root' ds_map will also free all the...

    I'm preparing to make a full transition to GM:S soon (been working with GM8 for a while) and am trying to determine exactly the kind of sprites (and how much) that GM:S can handle for my fighting game project.
