GameMaker Basic code for create event for beginers(GML)

[Olivia]

if you want to set the walk speed, jump speed, gravity, hsp, vsp you can use this
follow these step:
Step 1: click on add event.
Step 2: select event create.
Step 3: write '' /// @des Establish some key variables ''

Step 4: write all these lines of code in( in the picture )

hsp: hortical speed
vsp: vertical speed
grv: gravity
walksp: walk speed
jumpsp: jump speed

I will post more if I have time.

I think everyone can try it on Gamemaker 2.

This seems like step one of a thirty or so step tutorial. It doesn't accomplish anything without the additional processing to use those variables for the purposes listed, and any tutorial that's going to teach how to do that processing is also going to include setting up the Create event. What is your intended audience for this, seemingly composed of people who know how to write movement controls but somehow don't know how to write a Create event?

It's also interesting why those variables are duplicating 3 built-in ones (in fact, vspeed and hspeed are also setting direction and speed and opposite, and are used automatically in collisions events to prevent passing trough solid objects with just comment in code editor, so they have more usages).

Unsure what the point of this thread is. If you're trying to teach others what variables are, you kind of need to demonstrate their use past just declaring them.

If you want to share a code snippet, please post it here:

Code Bank - share useful code!

Similar to the VBForums code bank, we could seriously use one. Just a place to share and talk about useful code snippets, whether raw GML or stuff useful to build upon for native extensions. I'm only putting this in the advanced forum because native extension code is permitted to be shared here...

If you want to turn this into a full-fledged tutorial, please post a fleshed out version here:

Either way, in its current state, I doubt this will be of much use as it neither conveys any meaningful information nor does it demonstrate how to do anything other than basic variable assignments.

I'll lock this topic since a loose topic containing some code that gets drowned out by other topics since it was posted in a support forum doesn't really help anyone.
