physics

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...

Hey i've been working on a little Terraria-like game and I was doing fine with snapping blocks to a grid when the player places them, but when i created an arrow object (which uses physics), i also had to make the blocks use physics, which makes them not snap to the grid anymore. I can't find a...

Hello there, fellow programmers! I am currently working on a 2D metroidvania game that contains a character that might use a scarf on his neck! I know that there might be a way to do it without heavy pixel arting using programming knowledge or shaders. It would work like this: the scarf would...

Hi there, So I am to the point in my programming journey where I acutely feel the need for more control over how my collisions behave, but I am not smart enough to code my own system and feel good about it. I have been using the physics engine, and the more I try to do interesting things with...

I have an enemy that Is moving towards a randomly generated point above the player, but I cant seem to get it to stop when reaching the destination point (the object does stop, but it still tries to move causing the sprite to twitch, which is the actual problem here) here is the movement code...

I've started working on a bootleg of the popular Super Mario Bros game. My goal is to capture the feel of the original game but change all the artwork so Nintendo doesn't come after me. So far I have the gameplay just about spot on. The gameplay is entirely physics based using the Box2d code...

The object I have created to test player movement appears to 'stutter' when jumping or falling. Disregard the shakiness of the GIF below ( due to low quality recorder ), the GIF still gets the point around, as you can see the obvious shaky movement of the player object as it moves up or down. I...

So, currently I have set up for my game pretty complex spawn points. One of these complex parts is that there are two doors that open and close. The doors are set up to move in a certain direction from their current position when a player spawns in that spawn point: Step event for one of the...

Hey guys, so i am making a platformer game and the next feature i would like to add is moving platforms, both vertical and horizontal. I have already got jump through platforms working, and have used that as the basis. Horizontal platforms are working great, but i cant get vertical ones to work...

I'm working on a platformer that makes use of GM's integrated physics. Despite my lack of experience with physics, I'm really happy with the result. While most of the movement works really well, whenever the player is ontop of another physics object without unlimited mass, everything's a little...

Been messing around making a platformer were I can shoot bullets when I press left mb and throw a grenade with right mb. But in order to make my grenade throw have some sort of arc rather than a straight bullet, I made two paths using the path editor. One for when I'm aiming to the right and the...
