I did a video on that, it is a bit more technical/advanced though. Was that what you were looking for? ua-cam.com/video/LQvD8PcGHPs/v-deo.html

@@1upIndie i will see, thx for your fast answer.

Your welcome!

It is more convenient. Most games have state machines where in each state you run a different script, so that the code looks more clean. But you can do as you please, so there is no hard rule here.

No idea to be honest how to help you mate.

Glad to hear I can help a fellow developer out!

Well, that is a bit more complicated, because you need to use now real own calculations/projections how to get there. I guess that is an interesting topic to cover, so maybe in a week or later I may have a video covering this. But if you cannot wait, here is a video covering the math behind it: ua-cam.com/video/Mp8bz5P1m4I/v-deo.html

Eh, part 2? I made an easier update/alternative on that one: ua-cam.com/video/Wdaa_J9rwiM/v-deo.html

@@1upIndie Ah, thank you for showing me this!

Well, normally you store some kind of input (mouse, keyboard, gamepad) and if that is true spawn a new grenade. And you are correct, I did not show how to spawn the grenade, just its mechanics. So, for keyboard you could press space and create a new one. Something like this: var keySpace = keyboard_check_released(vk_space); if( keySpace == 1){ instance_create_layer(x,y, layer, TestGrenade); } There is though a much easier way to do these things (with inbuild values, direction, speed, gravity) shown in this video: ua-cam.com/video/Wdaa_J9rwiM/v-deo.html Hope that helps!

What!?

@@1upIndie Your reaction to Variable Definitions is exactly how everyone reacts to it. WTF is this doing here? Lol.

and the animate_index isn't working, I feel like I missed something or maybe something from another video perhaps.

Not sure what the issue is to be honest, the setup is bare bones. Sometimes the algo isn't good enough if the wall enclosure is too tough to get out of.

@@1upIndiehmm I might start from scratch and try it since maybe something I did earlier affected it. Also, thank you for these guides they are so good and explained very well 🙏

Well you can have a variable that triggers it off and on, so something like if (canDraw == true){ with() {....} } Surfaces need to be refreshed so as a best practise if you jump rooms recreate (initialize) the light system anew. Hope that helps!

Maybe the order of your instances is causing this issue. As a failsave you could trigger an alarm in your control instance (lets say at frame 2) to jump then to avoid the issue. create event: alarm[0] = 2; alarm0 event: window_mouse_set(obj_crosshair.x, obj_crosshair.y); Hope that helps!

Interestingly, this moves my cursor after the alarm (as it should), but it moves the cursor to the top left of the screen. Not where the obj.crosshair is located. I do have views set in this room.

@@calvert9568 The mouse position is bound to your window (of Gamemaker), gui bound so to say. So if you want to stick it to your crosshair instance you need to convert the value from the position of the crosshair (which is in the relative rooms x,y values). Or do a fake mouse like in this video (which is 1:1 becaues both things are in the same x,y coordinate system (room, view). ua-cam.com/video/1fLyFK8yKKQ/v-deo.html

Glad I could help a fellow developer out, keep it up!

Nah, I didn't forget, but there are not too many archetypes of 3liners as basis enemies (the idea behind the series). Glad to hear I can help a fellow developer out!

Thx, I guess. Even though, photoshop/adobe is not a big friend of mine any more. Affinity all the way!

What are mu games??

Nah, I am taking a time out. Sales and Industry is crashing, so are views and tech. Not a good time to be around. I come back this month I assume.

@@1upIndie Glad to know you'll be back at some point! Your bite-sized tutorials are some of the best around.

Thanks for the praise, but I do educational videos. Cat videos always win here.

@@1upIndie much love man

also i didnt realized you replyed to the last comment (that i deleted cuz the bug was a typo and i fixed it and i was embarrassed) good god man

Glad to hear you could fix your issue, keep it up man!

They are a fickle thing for sure...

That you can actually do pretty easy. You have another instance that follows (same x,y) the player and is round in shape (collision mask slow ellipse) and invisible. There you do another collision check for damage. Hope that helps!

Glad to hear it does work for you. The product is not mine though :D

I guess a lot of views or a bunch of money send my way. But to be serious, nobody watches the series and they are a big time sink (on my part) with very low return (view/watch time). I pretty much gave up on that to be honest. I assume not the answer you were hoping for but the luxury of me doing these things is pretty much over. I did start an remake Undertale series and that went south pretty fast.

@@1upIndie i see. makes sense i guess. what if you did a "build a game with me" community project where you had a discord server and had people come in and direct the game and stuff(and maby contribute directly with art or whatever)?

@@lloyd011721 Hm, dunno about that to be honest. The idea is good but I would need to coordinate beginners and advanced users (which will not put up with beginners). I will give it a hard though today and see if this can be viable.

@@1upIndie you could let the beginners ony vote in polls, and contribute art assets, and have the advanced users focus on code... of course a project like this would also require a pretty big and active community, so i get how it might be really hard to pull off.

@@lloyd011721 The community is there, but coordination and cooperation is key here. What you describle is an active indie dev team. Like one for commercial games. That is already because of hard drop out rates a hard candy. And now do this here, dunno. But let's try it. But I will be in this case only midgator, since I got my hands full with other projects and cannot bind myself another quagmire. What I can provide are tons of assets (graphics/music that I own).

That shouldn't be too hard to get nowadays, there are so many free sfx/music offer in the internet to get. Glad to hear I can help a fellow developer out!

@@1upIndie yeah, a friend showed me a public domain site. Imma try and find your video on making walls now.

Hm, but how do you get the (end) point here? The whole laser thing is super taxing because it loops until a near/collision point is being found. Do you have a some more code for me to check out? You may have something I don't see.

Hm, no idea how to help you out here.

Hm, can you confirm that somehow? I have not come across this issue with depth layers, so any source would be appreciated.

​@@1upIndie yeah, I have dozens of "prints" of my own game. The same happen on this video on UA-cam "Troubles with Transparency in 3D in GameMaker", but it doesnt work to resolve if theres a lot of instances. Eventually the transparent box will appear.

10k subs and I put it into my discord channel.

Hm, use an instance for the mouse, give it an image and put in the step event x = mouse_x; y = mouse_y; Hope that helps!

instance_destroy();

That you need to do with code, so you tap /click on it and set a variable that say active/selected = true, and all other buttons to false. That what you are looking for?

Sí, pero no es tan fácil. Tienes que hacerlo tú mismo usando un sombreador. Pero GameMaker Studio ha sido gratuito durante unos meses (todas las funciones están ahí, solo que no se pueden usar comercialmente, lo cual está bien), así que te recomendaría que lo hagas en Gms como en el video.

Your welcome.

Yeah sorry, the old videos had an aweful mic.

I know it's not very helpful to say, but don't use drag and drop! there's way less content out there and way less people to help with it, along with it being in some cases kinda harder to use. In general it's especially not worth it the more complicated things get!

@@SafetyKitten I eventually got my solution for the bird but like you said drag and drop is kind of complicating things Im afraid but Idk how to do normal code :(
