    Tile Data as Array/Grid

    I've swapped over to tiles and vectors for collisions instead of objects. I'd like to be able to create an array of 16*16 tiles for each level that I can simply load externally, and just reference the tile index for collisions. I know I could do all of that with the GMS2 tilemaps, but I'd also...

    Sloped tile collision

    I have basic movement/collision for my game working using 'get tile at pixel' however this appears to only tell you that there is a tile in that grid position, and has nothing to do with the actual tile collision mask. Therefore if your tile is a slope, for example, the collision isn't...

    GameMaker Using tiles as event triggers for an horizontal shmup in GMS2

    Hi everyone. My game (traditional old school horizontal shoot em up) uses a time based spawn system for enemy waves and all other events in general. I prefer to keep a fixed view and make everything scroll towards the player. But designing levels this way is very time consuming and boring...

    Question - Code Treating Sprite Images from Tilemaps as Objects

    Hey everyone, I'm about to start working on a project and I have a fairly large tilemap set up. In the game, I would like the user to have their own sort of editor. I envision them being able to open up some menu, select the tile they'd like to draw with, and proceed to create their own...

    Question - Code Tilemap Size?

    Is there a way to make a certain tilemap layer larger than the room size? so i can stop any gaps at the edges if i offset a tilemap layer. Just wondering. would save having to make another layer underneath it and offsetting the other direction just to fix any gaps. Thanks for any info. - Reax

     Pathfinding with TileMaps

    Hello! With the complete revamp to tiles I thought i'd have a look at a demo and see how to work with the new set of functions. I noticed the collision in the platformer-demo checked against an invisible tile layer with the tilemap_get functions. These functions return the number of a tile...

    Windows Scramble Remake demo made in GMS2

    For a giggle I streamed me making Scramble from scratch in GMS2 this morning. The below is the result so far. Well, I say so far - I've run out of time today and building the terrain up will take quite a while. It did only take a couple of hours, so don't expect it to be perfect! :) Still...
