Great job all. Those assets look really professional, so it will be a nice draw for new users knowing they can make games of this calibre with Gamemaker.

I really wish that there was a GML version.

At the end of the day, the code for DnD is very easily converted to GML while watching. If you are unsure of the GML equivalent of any codeblocks, just ask in here and we'll be able to assist.

При загрузке шаблонов "HERO'S TRAIL BASE" и "HERO'S TRAIL COMPLETE" я получаю ошибку "Error 500". Когда шаблон будет доступен?

RESOLVED: apparently the version in STEAM contains an error in the part of downloading the template.

Hi, are you on the latest GMS2 version? Make sure to update it.
Check your firewall etc. and see that GMS2 is allowed to connect.
If that doesn't work, please report the issue here: https://accounts.yoyogames.com/contact-us

Hi! I tried two times to made a ticket in the contact us area, but got stucked in the screen uploading a screenshot (it freezes at 100% uploaded)
that's why I'm posting this here:

I use GM with a Mac and when I try to download the basic Hero's Trail project I encounter the error message that appears in the attached screenshot.

I hope you have a solution because I was very excited to start this tutorial :)

Thanks!

Hello @matharoo! sorry to bother you with this, but I suppose there is nothing new regarding the error that the Hero's Trail DnD Tutorial produces when trying to download it, correct?

Today I tried again, and it keeps giving error :(

Thank you very much for any update on this.

A simple solution I just find to "bypass" the download problem (if you have it of course) of the Hero's Trail Tutorial:

I remembered that in the past, I downloaded the Space Rocks tutorial from the Marketplace.

So I just did the same thing right now: I "purchased" the Hero's Trail Tutorial from the YoYo library, downloaded it and put the Hero's Trail folder where I have all the GM projects. And it worked! :cool:🤦‍♂️

Good workaround. Here is a link to download the asset directly from the Marketplace for anyone still facing template download issues: https://marketplace.yoyogames.com/assets/10342/hero-s-trail-base-dnd

I think the problem is that your action that stops Alarm 0, is under the wrong "Else".

You want your alarm to reset if the enemy is not in the player's range anymore, however your Else makes it reset if it's... not reset. So basically it resets the second it's not reset and that's why it constantly shoots.
