Game Mechanics Player static in infinite room

[Lo_Z]

Hi guys! I'm new, so I'm sorry if i'm in wrong place.

My problem is that: I wanna have a spaceship that stand at the centre of the room and don't move, but all objects around it do, giving the feeling of motion. That's can't be a problem by setting speed and direction to the objects opposite to the ship, but i wanna do it in a physic room. So.. how i can do?

Well you could move the x and y positions of the objects, although with physics they arent called 'x' and 'y' but phy_position_x and phy_position_y

 

[T. Brugel]

var xSpd = lengthdir_x(speed, direction);
var ySpd = lengthdir_y(speed, direction);
phy_position_x += xSpd;
phy_position_y += ySpd;

This code should be placed in the step event of the objects, and this would make the speed and direction work again like normal

You can just move the player ship and forget about there being a room.

Thank you, I'll try.

I know, but when I reach the edge of the room the camera will stop moving letting the ship disappear or jump to the opposite side. And I wanna avoid this.

Not if you set the camera position manually with camera_set_view_pos

mmh.. I can try this way too, thanks!
