    GameMaker Determining the Specific Tile From a Tileset

    So, suppose you were working on a tile collision engine. If you have a tileset with three tiles in it, is there a way you could use tilemap_get_at_pixel() to determine which specific tile from within that tileset it is at that pixel?

    GameMaker Tiles for bodies, tracks and other footsteps

    Hello GM awsome community ! It's a tricky question (for me, at least). I'd like to optimize my program by replacing my different "non-living" objects by tiles. Today, as soon as a npc dies, I replace his object with a simplier one, with a unique sprite. When an explosion occurs, I create a...
