Programming issues

[QuoteTheRobot]

Hello, everyone! I'm currently following this video series:

I'm on Episode 4, at the 19:39 time, and I'm having an issue. I have copied all the code from it up to this point, and did some working around, but the game won't load up. Here's what I got from the output:

Yeah, there's a lot of stuff in there. If anyone knew what was going on and had a solution to it, that would be awesome, thanks! (P.S. If you need any parts of the code for checking reasons, just ask, and I'll post it. Thanks!)

Want to know the point of error messages? It's for you to READ.

Error : gml_Object_oEnemy_Draw_0(2) : malformed if statement

This particular error usually stems from missing brackets or braces, or an inappropriate semicolon between the condition and the opening brace.

Topics like this are the reason why I recommend becoming familiar with basic GML syntax before starting on video tutorials. Anyone who knows what a proper if statement looks like and isn't a blind copy-and-paster could have scrapped it out themselves.

Not sure if the snark was really required, but pointing that part of the error message helped me fix it up. Thanks for the help!

Can i ask you a question while youre at it? I am also following this series but i have some major collision issues if i am touching a wall thats on the left i cant get out without jumping and am therefore stuck on the first two videos.
Do you know what might help?

 

[TheouAegis]

Check your sprites. Sounds like your sprites aren't centered or sized properly, so changing sprites migjt be putti g the bound8ng box inside the wall

Thank you for your feedback i will check the sprites, their origins and their collision masks!

This didnt work despite my collision masks being exactly the same on everything i need some help

 

[TheouAegis]

What's the part of your code that deals with HORIZONTAL collisions? If you're sure it's not the sprites, then we need to make sure you don't have a typo that is forcing horizontal collisions to occur on accident.

 

[QuoteTheRobot]

Yeah, rewatching the videos and checking to see if you didn't make any typos is golden. Actually, while I'm on it, when the oDead sprites fall, they stay in their first animation, and just slide to the right. What's up with that?

 

[TheouAegis]

Sounds like you have one of the built-in speed variables set to something on accident. Or you set horizontal speed instead of vertical speed on accident.

Alright, I'll try to fix it up, thanks!
