Game Maker 8.0 Pro: Perfect Collisions and Smooth Player Movement

In this tutorial, I show you how to use Game Maker 8.0 Pro to produce smooth player movement (with acceleration and friction) and how to make collisions that are easy and bug-free.

[@CaptainNow2]

Thank you so much!! :D
This helped me get the movement I needed for my little game!

[@Davvyk]

Thanks for this. I'd got 90% of the way there myself but this filled in a vital gap.

[@Connor-yj2lx]

Thank you so much! This has helped me so well with my project, and it the collisions were really agitating me.

[@complementarycontrast4132]

That was a fantastic tutorial. Thank you.

[@Serbiansword]

Thanx for this tutorial, it really helped me a lot :)

[@freezEpic]

Wow that is so easy! Thank you bro!

[@hirotohoashi]

just what I wanted^ ^ thank you

[@darkriff777]

Oooohhh...now I get what the 'actions' part does, it's basically predefined if conditions for events. Silly me. I'm used to coding, but these days I don't have the time to go through all that shit again, so I'm looking at drag and drop alternatives. Nice tutorial.

[@АнтонКарпушко-и9й]

Great! Thank you

[@shanedaman112]

Thank you so much! amazing!

Thanks!!!

THANK YOU!

Smehow, in the GM, it is way easier to make smooth accelerating/friction based movement, than to simulate binary speed control of the old games...

[@sticky7285]

thanks man! :)

[@lozz3rs]

why are my collisions really jagged and glitchy?

[@Rapidgame7]

Like it! But the wall collisions are a bit glitchy when in 1x1 small corridors

[@asumjessen2013]

could I get this in code so I can adapt it to my movement system?

[@bouqalwa]

perfect!

[@mikemanau]

I can't figure out why, but my sprite (using a single sprite as a test) is jerky when I move. :(

[@ippitybippity7209]

I am also jerky but only going down
i think your problem though is the speed var being set to low

[@TheScriptan]

What is the recorder?

[@alex.norris]

Would you happen to know how to do this in code?

[@omegapixelled]

Wait... WHY ARE YOU USING DRAG AND DROP O_O

[@ThunderHail]

omegapixel lol I've seen u come to on another gml tutorial

[@jetp2505]

Aww, next time, can you use mouse? ^_^
