8 Directional Movement: Spritesheets | GMS2 [3]
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- In the final iteration of our 8D movement system, instead of using separate sprites for each direction, we use a single spritesheet!

this is so nice and smooth, thank you for this tutorial :)
Thank you for taking the time to make all these, and additional thanks for your use of visual aids and your general teaching style-- I've been struggling a great deal with my confidence as a new programmer, and the accessibility of your content has made a world of difference for me. :)
Wow i'm glad i found you through the gamemaker tutorials, i have a feeling i'll be visiting this channel quite often for various topics that ya made! Thanks for all the effort you put in
Welcome back , Love your videos The quality of it is insane 🙋 .
Glad to see frequent uploads again!
This was well explained, nice job Cosmo.
Thank you for posting these tutorials! I'm currently following along with your farming series. The videos are inspiring and have helped me to keep my motivation up. I'm looking forward to more videos. They have inspired me to attempt making seasons for the farming game I'm working on. If you get the chance I would love to see how you approach visually creating seasons!
quite neat way to do this! Goes to show you dont always need all the high level features an engine offers!. I would add though that you might want to use div rather than / when calculating the yframe in case your dir isnt exact multiples of 45 (say you add acceleration curves).
Самые лучшие уроки на ютубе ! Спасибо ! Голос приятный , все легко и понятно.
Trying to use this logic for a 4 directional animation (where the character stays in either horizontal or vertical animation while moving diagonally), but when I move diagonally the y_frame goes out of wack... like I have the top and bottom half's of two vertically adjacent frames....trying to figure out what part of the maths is causing this but its destroying my brain
@D G thank you so much
More yay these tuts are amazing
yeah!
just in case anyone else has the issue where a fraction of a pixel is visible above their sprite, I increased my y_offset variable by .25. so in my case, doing y_offset = 24.25; worked to remove that subpixel.
So I'm tryna follow this 8 directional moving tutorial mixed with another tutorial on how to make RPGs, and my main issue is that the spritesheet doesn't animate, but the tutorial only seems to be accounting for if it's always animating.
Edit: I fixed that issue, it's all good. But if you wanna leave a reply for anyone else who's trying to do the same thing I'm doing, go ahead and do that!
Thank you for posting this!!
cosmo please help i cant seem to figure out hwo to deselect a slot when the mouse isnt near the inventory, it always has one selected
Very useful! When using this method, do you assign a sprite that has the mask you want, or do you create a bounding box in code?
Can I make the character move in more directions?
thanks, this method is so nice and neat ^__^
This might sound stupid, but how would I get collisions running for this sort of movement? I’ve tried multiple scripts, but they all failed
This tutorial only changes the apparence of the object so it shouldn't change anything about the collision part
that said there is one easy to make mistake here.
You have to make sure that your object has the right sprite assigned to it.
In this tutorial is that a 17x17 sprite named "spr_r".
(you can see that In the left of the sceen for most of the video)
You can use any sprite so it doesn't have to be "spr_spritesheet"
and this sprite (by defealt) will be use for collision.
I hope this helps
You can use place_free(x, y) to prevent collisions with solid object.
(this is probably what you were looking for)
replace:
x += moveX;
y += moveY;
with:
if (place_free(x+moveX, y+moveY))
{
x += moveX;
y += moveY;
}
I just added this:
if (!place_meeting(x+moveX,y,obj_collisionBox)) x += moveX;
if (!place_meeting(x,y+moveY,obj_collisionBox)) y += moveY;
Hmmm... yes that would be even better.
You just have to make sure the everything you want to collide with is obj_collisionBox or is a (grand)child of obj_collisionBox and that would work fine.
@@joepveenman heh, I was making this for a school project, thanks for making so much to help though
how can i change the position of the origin? i used this in "click to move"-movement and a problem i'm having is that the player moves his chest to the point where i clicked instead of his feet...
u legit need millions of subs
i like the video but it would've really been nice to see how to use idle frames for specific animations and also switching to different rows on the same sprite for attack animations and stuff... this seems oriented to exactly your sprite sheet
great video 👀💓👍🏻
good job
woow
Can I do this in GMS 1.4, is there any limitation?
You can do this in GMS 1.4 without any problem.
and stop creating a wall?
I have issues with 8 directional movement, when i move diagonally, and i release both keys it will face (most of the times) up or left instead of up-left or any other diagonally direction. Because i can't release both keys on exact the same time i presume. Do you have any suggestion for this?
Well I have a suggestion. you could slow down proces of "not animating" (stopping with changing the x_frame and y_frame) like this.
>> set "animation_slowdown=0" in your create event. 0)
{
//Increment frame for animation
y_frame= dir/45;
//Set direction
x_frame += anim_speed/room_speed;
if(x_frame >= anim_length) x_frame = 0;
}
else
{
x_frame = 0;
}
anyone solved this problem?
Can i skip this or it is important?
I have an Idea you should make a online game that's not a plan game
