    Randomizing mechanic slowly degrades

    In the game I'm trying to make, I have 2 enemies that go from their starting x and y to a blue block, then back to their starting x and y, then pick a new blue block to go to and repeat the cycle. This works pretty great 8/10 times. However, as I've been watching the enemies start their routes...

    GameMaker Randomize position by multiples of 24

    I have a very simple spawning object which randomly spawns an object every 2 seconds. What I would like it to do the spawner creates the objects in the same y position of the spawner, but the x position I want to be randomized multiples of 24 (ie. x, x+24, x+48, x+72, x, x-24, x-48, x-72 etc)...

    GameMaker Random_Set_Seed() seems different for GMS 2 and no longer consistent between platforms.

    I've just had to update my app to support 64 bit so I purchased GMS 2 and imported my game. Within a few hours I had it running on Android but now my game is totally different. I spent many days selecting random seeds that would generate levels and nearly 100 of them were tested which took...

    Legacy GM choose()

    I am curious if anyone has had this issue: I am using choose(s_map_1,s_map_2); to randomly choose between two sprites. And before this is run I am running randomize(); to get a new seed. The problem I am seeing is that despite the fact that I am doing a randomize (which I can confirm is...

    Legacy GM Randomize() fixed my irandom()

    How to randomize a series of numbers?

    I need the numbers 10-5 in a random order, existing at the same time. Is there a way to do that without a lot of if loops? EDIT: I was a bit too quick on asking. I'm going to try ds_lists.
