I'm new to these forums. And this is my first post. Let me make it clear that I am not a programmer. I don't know much about code. Actually, I don't really know any code. Please post as if I am advanced because this is for a friend of mine who does know GML code.
A friend of mine by the name of Ting Thing, (he is a memeber of these forums,) is a game developer. He develops a program called, "Platform Builder." I am wanting to ask about information on what it would take to add a certain feature to Platfrom Builder. Understand first that Platform Builder is not a game, but a game maker made with game maker. I use it to create games. Platform Builder can do all sorts of things without the code. One thing I want added to it is a way to add special tilesets that when the player object goes near/under, the tileset pieces form a circle that unhides the tilesets. Simply, an object that when the player goes through, it fades out. But as the charcter moves, (note: we're talking about sidescrollers!) the tileset objects become transparent. And these tiles are (I think) on a layer above the characters layer. And the tilesets are not solid. If you are familliar with New super mario bros games (like wii, wii u, 2, ds,) then you should be familliar with this gaming concept. Mario can go through tilesets and discover secrets. My friend was wanting to do the reasearch, but I wanted to help. Hopefully he won't mind me posing this. I hope this isn't considered advertising, but you game maker users should give Platform Builder a try! It may not be with unlimited features, but still, it's great to use! And it's made with game maker, and on steam! So, I hope someone knows how to help me...
