question

I have instances that the player can set on fire. If these instances are close to one another, the player can interact with all of them at the same time. What can I do to prevent this from happening. Code(Step): if(distance_to_object(Obj_Player) < 30 && !_SetonFire){ _Close = true;} else{...

Would assigning an object that is used often to a variable of any kind be faster than referencing it's full name? I understand that each time the object is referenced somewhere, it has to be looked up first. If this is faster, would it be good practice to assign the object to a variable? If...

What the title says. Did a google search, nothing found. Just curious. I have @@This@@ listed under "name" in "others" in the debugger.

First things first, I hope I posted this question to the correct thread. If not, I do apologist. This is code related so I figured this would be the proper thread to use. ========================================================================================================== My issue: Objects...

There's probably a way to do this, but I'm coming from working with RPG Maker, and I don't know much in way of coding. Can you help me think of a simple way to do this? To clarify: I want NPCs to be able to react to when a character "dies" or to events after a "game over" that resets the game...

I had placeholder rooms which shot up my file size to 96 mb from about 16mb. Reduced them from 4992 x 4992 to 1x1 for 10 rooms. Now I'm back down to a 10-15s build time and 36 mb file size.

I'd like to start making some rooms for my game. However, the room inheritance has a bug where you can't paint outside of the parent's room size. Does anyone know if its safe to set the parent's room size larger than what's needed and create the child's room and paint it then once a fix is...

Is there any difference between using an object w/ code and placing it into a room multiple times vs. using said before mentioned object and making a child for it and placing the child into a room multiple times? Would both methods result in the same? As in performance wise and anything...

Hello, my controller is not detected by the gamemaker studio 2 software when i launch it from steam. However gamemaker does detect my controller when i use the non-steam client. I have done fresh installs of both versions, restarted my pc, reset my steam controllers settings, updated drivers...

What the title says. Not talking about inheritance. That's already being done. I'm overriding the children variables. I'm looking for a simpler way of doing this instead of copy & pasting into each child. While avoiding variable definitions.

Pretty much what the title says. I'm following a bug and waiting for it to be fixed. It's currently labeled as "Fixed Internally". I'm guessing it means it has been fixed but, not released yet?

Hi, My GameMaker studio 2 license will expire soon and I was wondering what happens when it expires. Your Proyects in progress will be deleted or will be there when you renovate the license?

Hi, I have a question. If you live outside the USA, is it better to get paid in dollars and then convert to local currency, or get converted already? By the way, does the YYG marketplace necessarily only send in dollars or does this option change that too? There are always 3 currency...

Hello, I have written an API for submitting highscores to a database using Node.js and I have deployed it to the Google App Engine. The API recieves commands through HTTP requests and acts accordingly based on the information contained in the request. When testing the API locally on my machine...

How do i create the effect of the text box fading in and the text being typed and then it fading out when the player presses a letter/number to progress?

Hey all! I'm making a survival/crafting game, and I want to be able to define objects/items (as well as crafting recipes) and their parameters via json files rather than tediously creating one after the other, adding a create event, and setting the variables directly in GameMaker. Of course...

I have 4 frames for a character of mine. All four of these characters don't have all pixels connected. What is an easy way for be to bring these from Aceprite to GML. I've used ...strip4.png before but that only works when all pixels are connected. It would be great when I could immediately...

So basically I want to stop motion_add so it happens only once or are there any alternatives beacuse I want to push player from guns rotation so how do I stop it or is there any other way to do it. Thanks in advance!

Hi, I was wondering if there is a drag and drop snake tutorial out there. I thought of an interesting prototype idea and I want to get it off my brain.
