    Question - IDE [Solved] Auto-Tileset not working.

    I made an extremely simple tile set to use in a 16 auto tile set. It is 16x16 pixels. However, as soon as I choose a tile to use in the second slot, it turns red. After it's finished, it won't work at all in the room. There doesn't seem to be anything telling me what's wrong, and I checked...

    Question - IDE Diving into Tilesets

    I'm experimenting with tiles tonight. I never really used them in GMS1.x because I found them to be a pain, but luckily that means I don't have to unlearn anything first. I read the Help documentation on Tilesets, the Tileset Editor, and Autotile, and watched GM Wolf's tutorial video. I'm...

    Windows Tiles on layers below 0

    This one caused me quite a headache: The Image shows non-aligning tiles on a layer depth of -10000 (same with -100). It seems to be an issue with tiles on layers with negative depth, maybe? Because when I set that layer to 0 it works as desired. (Layers and tiles created through gm2 code)...

    Pathfinding With Tiles?

    I am using tiles for random map generation and the map sizes are quite large. We're talking 50,000 x 50,000. Hence why I am using tiles instead of instances for the map. The generator works good enough at the moment but I intend on using motion planning for the path finding. So now you surely...

    Question - Code Drawing Auto-Tiles Through Code

    Is drawing auto-tiles through code possible yet without actually choosing the indices of the sprites within the tileset themselves? If so, how would I go about doing this? If not, can we expect a method to do so? That would be amazing!

    Question - IDE No Isometric Support?

    Am I right that there is no possibility for isometric graphics in Studio 2? In the room editor, when you select a tileset, the grid snap settings are locked to whatever the tile size is, meaning you can't have overlapping tiles. Am I being stupid and just not doinitrite? Or is there some way...

    2D Ambient Occlusion Using Tiles

    I've been trying to make 2D Ambient Occlusion to spice up my game a bit. So far I've gone with a few techniques, first shaders, then surfaces, and now I want to try tiles. However, I'm way over my head, It takes 256 individual tiles to make the entire map. I saw while reading the Documentation...

    Game Mechanics Top down movement with different tile heights?

    Can anyone explain a good approach to designing a top down movement system where the player can jump up and down from map tiles of different heights? It doesn't have to be full 3D mechanics (i.e. multiple platforms above each other), just one map surface with varying height. I can imagine that...
