    shoot per 10 frames instead of each frame

    Hello! I am wanting to find a way to shoot with 'Mouse Left Button action' rather than with the 'Left Button Pressed' action, as I'd rather not have to click a bunch of times. With 'Mouse Left Button action' it seems that it fires each frame. I would like to fire say.. every 3 frames instead...

    Setting up a projectile [solution found]

    We're experimenting a "nice" trouble; projectiles. We tried solving this by using collisions (https://forum.yoyogames.com/index.php?threads/change-collision-depending-on-the-sprite-gms-1.12080/) but we prefer to go back and ask you "how would you design a projectile". They can move in 4...

    Hey! If I want to include a dodgine mechanism, example the player presses "E" and when he does the player gets out of the way and even if a projectile touches him it "misses" and goes past him. Would that be done with an if statement in a collision with the projectile? Would I use an if...

    I've tried to google for a mathematical solution to my problem, but I've drawn a blank. I'm working on an "isometric" shooter game, which means that the x and y-axis are different lengths. I've managed to get the bullet ranges to work, i.e. they fly twice as far on the x-axis as they do on the...

    Legacy GM Transfer local impulse or force

    I belive I've made a thread about this before, although I did not get any help there really and it seems like it was a tough nut to really comprehend. I'm talking in terms of recoil and impact force which get applied by shot projectiles at a target or basically an enemy or yourself. Obviously...
