solid objects

  1. Christopher A. Orestis

    Issue with moving Platforms.

    In the old game maker, you could just set the object to solid and then set the speed and what not. In the new version of game maker, when an object is set to solid it can no longer move, as well as any object that colides with the object is also unable to move...

    How to make impassable wall? DaD

    How can I use GMS2 DaD to make an impassable object? I currently have the speed set to 0 once the object collides with the wall, but I want the player to be able to move diagonally without getting stuck to the wall. I also want my enemy (which behaves as a zombie) to not be able to phase through...

    Legacy GM Object Collision with moving objects

    So, I'm working on a platformer that will use hybrid tile and object collision for floors and walls. I have the tile collision taken care of in another build, so pay no bother to the tiles in this build... as the player doesn't react to those. My issue is with solid object collision. When the...

    random block not stacking object solid

    Hi I have random blocks dropping from the sky set to solid but they dont stack. When one falls on another they push the other one down. //inside the generator var val = random_range(0,1); if(val < 0.04) { //random range of spawn screen width location_x = irandom_range(room_width...

    I'm using mp_potential_step to try and control movement. Here is the situation: 4 ships in room. 4 randomly appearing targets in room Ships lock onto nearest target(respectively) and converge until a certain distance is reached. In create event, ships set ...

    Legacy GM [SOLVED] Problem with Collisions / place_meeting()

    I have a villager object which uses mp_potential_step() to navigate between objects (such as trees). When it reaches the tree in question, I use place_meeting() to change the villager's behaviour. In order to make this work, I have the villager set to solid and the trees not set to solid...

    GameMaker top-down tilemap collison with rotated rectangles/collision mask

    so I'm not sure how to describe this.... I know how to make a working tile collision with bounding boxes and 4-corner checks (typical platformer collision style) this works all nice and fine since the "shapes" are all lined up in 90° angles and corners but for my little testing project (to toy...

    [SOLVED] Solid Objects Overlapping

    I have various objects in my game that are marked as solid and their sprites use precise collision checking. However, when moving around on screen, these objects still overlap one another. Am I missing something? Also, when I generate these objects, I place them at random coordinates on the...

    Legacy GM Checking for all solid instances

    Is there an easy way to check for all instances that are solid? I'm trying to use 'collision_line() ' to make an enemy shoot only when there are no solid objects in the way. I know i could use parenting but that would complicate MANY other things in my game. Any replies would be greatly...

    Legacy GM Object with gravity doesn't pass throw solid objects

    I made a ball that falls in vertical directioin with gravity. In the step event I used the following code:... if (vspeed<6.2) { gravity_direction=270; gravity=0.35; } ... So the vertical speed stops growing before it reaches 6.2. When the ball colllides with a solid block, I made it bounce...

    More efficient platformer

    I was wondering if there is a better way to handle the "physics" for my project jumper. See I just made the player jump and have it add to it twice until it starts falling. I also have a ground pound and sprint ability. Anyway, the main problems are the player jumps too high, doesn't always land...

    How To Create One Way Platforms

    So, let me just start off by saying that I'm a beginner in game maker. Though I do know some basic gml coding. In the game I'm currently working on I need to make one way platforms (platforms that I can jump through from the bottom but when on top I don't fall back through). How exactly would I...
