    GameMaker pizza tower/mario skid when turning

    In the hit game SUPER MARIO BROTHERS when you are running and you press the opposite direction you do a little skid on the ground and you come to a complete stop faster. Similarly, in pizza tower when you turn around at a high speed you do a little turn animation then continue in the other...

    SOLVED Point-in-Direction Movement using Sin & Cos

    I've used this code for quite some time now in a separate engine, and found it works flawlessly. However, when I use the same concept in GMS2, I seem to have trouble with where the object accelerates. Basically, I want an object to change it's x and y position based on the direction it's pointed...

    A Space Rocks Issue -- incorrect bullet angle

    I'm using GML on GameMaker Studio 2 IDE v2.3.0.529 I apologize if this issue has been discussed elsewhere, but after prowling forums and Google and YouTube, I still cannot find a satisfactory answer to explain why the bullets will not shoot straight out of the end of my ship while it's in...

    How to have momentum carried over to new object when they switch places

    I'm relatively new to gamemaker but know the basics and how it all works. While making a game I ran into an issue where the player character (playergrounded) goes from being affected by gravity then by the press of space not being affected (playerfly) so the player can fly. I decided to go down...

    Question about physics_particle_draw(typemask, category, sprite, subimg) and particles momentum

    Hello,I'm currently having fun optimizing a game that has massive usage of soft particles; I've noticed physics_particle_draw(typemask, category, sprite, subimg) documentation states: "The drawn particle will use the colour and alpha values set when you created it, and will rotate with the...

    Legacy GM Make objects that roll off and bounce when colliding with one another

    I'm currently trying to make a bullet-hell style game where bullets rain down and the player must guard the target using a shield. Instead of just having the bullets disappear when hit by the shield I'm trying to make it so they'll pick up some of the shields vertical/horizontal momentum...

    GameMaker [SOLVED] Can't figure out how to do collision for accelerated movement

    As the title says, I quite suck at doing collision, mainly because my movement code includes accelerating and decelerating hspeed and vspeed and all the fixes i've looked for rely on the fact that the movement speed is fixed and doesn't change. In the step command of obj_player: maxspeed = 6...

    GameMaker [SOLVED] Player Movement Momentum

    Hi, I'm trying to figure out the best way to have my top-down player lag when changing opposite direction (180 degrees) before moving the other direction to give the appearance of momentum. So when you're running left and the move the gamepad right, I want my player to stumble and cutback left...

    Long post, but I've been doing some experimenting and it's a conversation I've been wanting to have for a while. I've been scrambling together bits of code recently and testing out momentum based movement. Mostly by theory-crafting how movement can be fun on it's own if it's intuitive and...

    Acceleration and Momentum (Physics Question)

    Hello GMC! Today I have a question about acceleration and momentum using GameMaker's physics. I'm making a car racing game, and I'd like there to be bigger and heavier vehicles that accelerate slower but can hold up some steady momentum and don't get thrown off their path as easily as the little...
