    Windows [Need help] [GM1.4 using physics] Collision bug of ball-shaped fixture objects

    I wanna make a poolball like game. instead of creating objects with ball sprite, I got objects without sprites, then run a code in create event: disp_areas = 200; //radius varies from objects to others var fix = physics_fixture_create(); physics_fixture_set_circle_shape(fix,disp_areas)...

    Legacy GM Physics platformer collision

    Hello everyone. I'm trying to make a local multiplayer platformer but can't get the basic collisions to work properly. I started by using the classic hsp/vsp movement/collision code from Shaun Spaldings platformer tutorials but I had problems implementing collisions with other players...

    GameMaker [SOLVED] Physics_Test_Overlap

    I have a parent object named oBlock. Then I have 2 children objects, one named oPlayer1 and the other oPlayer2. I am trying to have it so collision is detected if the other jumps onto their head. My issue is that when using "physics_test_overlap(x,y,image_angle,oBlock)" a collision is always...

    GML (SOLVED) While using draw_sprite_ext to upscale sprites, bounding boxes do not scale along.

    Hello community, I hope the picture speaks for itself: to keep the texture pages small and optimal I decided to upscale every sprite by a factor of 3, so I can make the game 1080p and work in high resolutions while keeping a pixelated look and feel. My game takes place in a physics world but...

    Question - IDE Physics collision doesn't seem to reflect shape I've set.

    This boxing glove ship is meant to bounce away and take damage on collision with the ball. However, it seems to bounce away before it even gets close. Here are the physics colliders I've set. I don't understand why these seem to behave as though they're colliding before these should overlap...

    GameMaker Problem using non-physics obj in physics world room

    Hi there ! :) So, I have my room wich is physics active and all my objects are physics active too. However, I found that if I try to use some non-physics object on it, my whole collisions just stop working for everything. This non-physics object has no collision event at all, nor with any other...

    GameMaker "Stick" and re-orient physics object on-collision

    So, I have a grenade object that, when you get certain power-ups, should stick to the first thing it collides with, changing to a flatter sprite and fixture and rotating to an angle that actually looks like it is stuck to the surface of the other object. I'm using the built-in Box2D physics, so...

    Legacy GM Need help with Physics collision checks

    I'm making a Physics-based platformer and I encounter the following issue: when the player object moves left and right, while in mid-air, and bumps into a wall, it slides on that wall, which slows down the object's falling speed. It's probably because of the nature of the physics engine. The...

    This is my first post on the GameMaker Forum, I'm having a lot of trouble trying to change the size of my players collision shape. (a square in this case) I've try'ed to change the image_xscale and image_yscale (they clearly just effect the sprite mask not the physics mask) and I've try'ed...
