sprites

I am interested in how texture memory on a device is influenced by instances using sprites in different ways. I can't quite put into words exactly what I mean here, so here are some example scenarios below . . . Example A) If I were to create an instance that drew a large sprite, let's say for...

I have 3 objects, oHead, oBodySegment, oTail. The player controls the direction of the head which currently only moves up, down, left, and right, but does not adhere to a grid. The number of body segments changes. I'm having trouble getting each segment to follow the head all the way to point...

Hello! The question is about the size of sprites, how big can they be done without losing a lot of performance? I tried pixelart and this is definitely not enough to realize my intentions, but I don’t feel like making a game exclusively for powerful PCs. Share your experience, please

hey! so I havent changed any line of my code since earlier today after I tested it out. my character was moving exactly how I wanted it to, when I pressed left it changed to the left facing sprite and vice versa. the only thing i have done is, add a wall and change the background of the room...

Hello, I have a problem. My friend and I are making a platform game about business for Android and Windows, a game where you need to build a wild mall (all 2d). I am the programmer who makes all the logic of the game, and my friend makes the art of the game, I told him that he can do it any way...

Using GameMaker Studio 2. I want to make 2D Sprites face the camera in a 3D environment, in a fashion similar to how the original Doom or Don't Starve do. I have seen a few tutorials, but I couldn't find much related to that problem. Can you please give me some advice or a link to a guide? Any...

Hi, I need to destroy sprites called sTree from my asset layer. All 10 of them. Can this be done, if so how? Thanks.

Is there a way I can disable for Texture Groups the removal of duplicate sprites. In the currently options I only see toggles for "Allow Scaling" "Automaically Crop" "Generate Mipmaps" I would be allowed to have a texturegroup not remove my duplicates and keep them. I couldn't find anything in...

Just wondering if there's a way I could setup some kind of box where the player could draw out their own sprites to use in the game? I think it would add an element of fun to my project... also since I'm not a great artist people wouldn't have to suffer with my stickman like art haha.

Hey everyone. thanks for taking the time to help me with this very annoying problem I am having, but I can't do this without a little help from my friend's XD so my problem is that I have a flashlight object that aims at the mouse coordinates but I want to make the sprite of the flashlight...

:oops:Hello GMC, last post i was finding out about tile bugs with my partner nocturne xD it was a bad function usage, but, this time i got a serious bug to fix, look... I use tools->create local package this because i wanted to create a package for backup and to create my full game version in...

I have an object named oSpawner which creates objects named oAlternativeHolder for a Candy Crush look alike game but with numbers written in the "candy". I've been testing my game with subimages made in the GMS2 Editor for my sAlternativeHolder and never bumped into a problem until now that I...

Hi guys,I was wondering what is the consequence of having 50 sprites instead of one sprite with 50 sub images,I find that using a lot of sprites in some occasion makes the code way more readable, but what are the consequences of doing this?dos the compiler become slower?dos the game become more...

I’m designing a platform game that will have different enemies depending on level/room and I was interested in whether just changing an object’s sprites based on the level/room was a potential way to go? For example: Each level/room would have an enemy that crawls back and forth along a platform...

Hello all, I was just wondering if there was anyone out there who could give me some advice for bringing in drawings done with actual pen/paint/paper and using them as sprites. When I use a camera or scanner to get a digital version of my artist's drawings the resulting file is huge compared to...

Hello! I'm working with a code base that uses create_sprite_from_surface() to do a "reflective water" effect. This code create eight sprites from the bottom of application_surface and then draws them in reverse order, offsetting them to create the water effect. The problem is that even though...

Even though I've been using GMS 2.0 for a while (for Nintendo Switch ports especially), I've only recently fully switched to it. While there are many aspects I love (tabs and bookmarks for scripts <3, CTRL+T to search on resource names...), there's also some inconvenient stuff. - The sprite...

I have a sprite at size 12800 x 2140. When i try to import the image, it doesnt say anything and acts as if it worked, but the image remains blank. Anybody know whats going on? Is this going to have to be imported in pieces or something?

Hello, I am currently working on an inventory and am trying to position the slots properly over the inventory sprite. I already did this once before, just with a smaller resolution and with a little different system. For some reason though, the slots (blue) now are always a little bit ("half a...

Hello, everyone. Not sure what to call the thing I’m asking about but I want my sprites to dynamically change size based on their background depth. For example, imagine a side scrolling view but when ever your character walks towards the background, the sprite would appear appear smaller based...
