So i want to create an enemy AI that charges tword a player but has like a simulated friction/delay. kinda like as if it were running on ice, so it starts still and builds up speed in your direction to try and ram you. But if you dodge him he shouldnt continue moving tword you but in the...

-I get no errors, it just simply refuses to move -double checked if its the exact code i had for the previous project -left out animations -other inputs I made work such as using the arrows to launch projectiles

Please help me, I have a trouble with the moves of the enemies in my game!! They are facing right, but when they walk to left, they don't turn to the left and make a "moonwalk". Also, I can't make they change to stopped sprite when they are stopped and they keep with the walking animation even...

Hello, this is my first post after weeks of using the forums as an excellent resource. I come from a Python background and there are built-in functions such as wait(), which allow me to 'pause' the execution of the script. I have written a script (shown below), which currently causes my NPC to...

Hello everybody, I am currently working on a 2D platformer, and have run into an issue. The player seems to be getting stuck in walls when walking left, but not when walking right, and I don't have a clue why. Perhaps a fresh set of eyes can help me. Create Event: Step Event: Any help will be...

I've been working with a tutorial for a while now, just keep adding to it, and for some reason my character keeps moving even without me pressing buttons. It used to work fine but nothing seems to be wrong from the original code. this is the code ^ this is the tutorial ^

My player wont move at all. It can jump around and whenever I press the keys to move it uses the run animation but doesn't actually move anywhere. //input left = keyboard_check(ord("A")); right = keyboard_check(ord("D")); jump = keyboard_check_pressed(vk_space); //Movement var move = right -...

My character does not move when I run the program. I only have a step event: //input left = keyboard_check(ord("A")); right = keyboard_check(ord("D")); jump = keyboard_check_pressed(vk_space); //Movement var move = right - left; hsp = move * walksp; vsp = vsp + grv; //Horrizontal collision...

so i want to change key state if its pressed or not by variable value something like this and idk if it work pls help me : rkey = keyboard_check(ord("D")); lkey = keyboard_check(ord("Q")); dkey = keyboard_check(ord("S")); ukey = keyboard_check(ord("Z")); playerid.rkey = mover; playerid.lkey =...

I'm having trouble with one object operating based on what another does correctly. Here's what it's supposed to do: Based on the direction of what obj_player is facing, obj_player_head should travel that direction when the 'Z' button is pressed. Code for Obj_player: /// Movements //Get the...

Hi guys. So I've set up a simple attack state using a switch statement, but two things occur and I can't for the life of me figure out why. 1. Upon pressing the attack button the attack animation continues to play, but it does transition to my move state and allows me to move like normal and...

New here and was looking for some pointers. I've been trying sometime for an easier way to make the space bar play a different animation based on the direction my character is facing. For instance, if facing right, I should execute an attack animation to the right. If facing left, I should...

Hello, I am trying to make an enemy move to a random position within a radius. First the position is set and then it travels in the Step Event. It has to move to a position that is longer than a minimum value and shorter than a maximum value. This is how I went with it: Define target position...

Right, so I figured out keyboard controls for movement on an Isometric world. But I would like to add mouse controls as a feature that is easily accessible for the player, so they can decide on preference, without having to select control preference from a menu item. That said, my thoughts are...

So, I am returning to game maker after well-over 5 years away and I'm finding that picking up at my previous skill level is clearly not an option (I've forgotten everything it feels like). Anyway. I was messing around with a super-simple character movement my mouse clicking I did it two ways...

Have you ever seen how a chain chomp works? That's basically what I'm trying to accomplish except the object can move freely around the room. The starting point of the chain (white) should either stretch however many chain links evenly across the line between the starting chain and the object...

I have basic movement and collision with solids set up, but when I try to set up my one-way platforms I will only be able to interact with whatever one-way platforms that have a lower y-axis than the obj_player when the room is created. If I decrease the spawn y-axis of the obj_player then load...

I'm having an issue where my player sometimes gets trapped by a wall and can't move. This only occurs when meeting with a wall to the left or right, at this point the player can't move up or down. The issue doesn't occur when meeting to a wall above or below the player. The strangest part of...

Hi, My character is set to jump when I press SPACE, although, when I am moving left or right and press SPACE it jumps really smoothly if I press SPACE it jumps but as soon as i hit LEFT or RIGHT it cancels out the jump and just moves left or right. How would I make it carry on getting to the...
