Hello. Just a heads up, I'm a beginner. I made a room transition object that draws a rectangle over the screen. It fades in in room 1, and then fades out in room 2. Here's the code. (I'm sorry for the lack of indentation. After I posted, the indentation was removed). draw_set_alpha( alpha )...

Hello. Just to give you a heads up, I'm a bit of a beginner. For some reason, the following code won't animate the sprite: draw_sprite( spr_gun, -1, x, y ); It works in other objects, just not in the object I want. Some additional info: -The object I want the code in has its own sprite...

I've been facing this issue for a long time in my game and it's about time I asked for some help. It's a bullet hell game that has A LOT of particles in it since I like the effect of lasting debris when an enemy is destroyed. I'm pushing the limits of how much particles I can have around...

So I tried to compile my game with the YYC today and once I got it working (i.e. the game actually running), to my dismay, certain parts of my game were just acting weird, some tweening wasn't running and my pause menu crashed the game. Here is the error on the crash: FATAL ERROR in action...

Hi all, I am setting up some of the basic variables for a game, and am trying to decide if I allow non-integer values for things like player HP, Hunger, etc. The issue is with things that give bonuses, etc. Let say a weapon has a standard damage of 2, and I want a player skill to give a 10%...

I lurked a bit on these forums and on the steam forums and have been unable to find a working solution for my case despite may other similar systems. Put simply, I have an object that the player con rotate. Said object is only supposed to fire projectiles from a specific point. {(18,-8) The...

Hi, I'm working on the May Jam and I'm having a problem. I am using depth = -y in the Step Event of every object. When I run the game, and move the player lower than the enemy (giving him a higher Y and therefore a lower depth), he should show in front of that enemy but he doesn't. It's not an...

Hey, guys, What I'm trying to get done in the game I'm working on is having a set of health bars that are only visible when you click a button. The health bars don't actually represent health, though. They represent the number of enemies in the room, so the level ends when there are too many...

Hello! I'm trying to figure out a way to find the nearest enemy (obj_enemy), but only in the direction you are facing. (This is a 2D sidescroller for context). If you are facing right, all the enemies to the left of you may as well not exist. The code only needs to find the nearest instance...

I'm not sure if i learned bad habbits from GMS1 but Im working on a small app currently using normal draw_text_colour(x,y,string,col,col,col,col,alpha) code and everytime the draw event is run, the new text is drawing over the previous state of the text and not clearing the previous text like I...

Hello, I'm trying to use lengthdir_y but when I enter Speed = 16; direction = 45; vspeed = lengthdir_y(Speed, direction); it returns 0. However, when I enter Speed = 16; direction = 45; vspeed = lengthdir_y(16, 45); it returns -11.31 as expected. Am I missing something or is it broken? This...

Trying to make a block that you can push. It moves a set number of points (16 points) and then stops, until you push it again. tried using the move_towards_point function but because the point I want it to move to is variable, it doesn't stop moving when it reaches the point. I've included my...

I currently need to know a way of selecting all of a certain object. My previous solution was: with all { if(self = ob_box) { //actions } } but i'm now pretty certain that that doesn't work at all and is the cause of many bugs. Is there a way of...

What I am trying to do is use groups of the same object, for clarity I call the object obj_alphablock, to create a similar effect to what you see in newer mario sidescrollers, where you walk through a part of the wall and the wall goes transparent. Essentially I want a collision between the...

I am trying to make a 360 degree top down movement but there is a problem with it. When I test it, the player by default moves right and does that when I release the arrow keys and pressing down + right makes it stuck. I dunno what the problem is. Create: image_speed = 0; Step: ///Movement var...

I'll make it quick, I need to clear a surface, i.e., take every pixel in it and replace its r,g,b,a by 0,0,0,0, as if it had been just created. What's the easiest way to do so, short of freeing the surface and creating another?

Hello, I'm trying to do a shader that passes exactly one color, comparing the color to a list before drawing every pixel. If the color matches a parameter, it should draw a listed color, and if the color does not, it will draw a pixel with zero alpha. How could I go about this? I tried using...
