Cheap water effect and glowing sphere [GameMaker Studio 2 | Vfx]

This visual effects video tutorial shows you how to make a sphere plus a wave distortion in GameMaker Studio.
What is that distortion good for?
You see it in lots of small details, like a pixel art torch, fireplace or if needed in water. This method is very useful to single sprites and further advanced in combination with a surface to add a mirrow effect.
In the first part I show you how you can make this sphere, link in the description to the orignal sprite used.
The second part deals with the shader in use. So if you have seen my heat wave shader, there is not much change here. You simply apply it to a single sprite by distorting the original sprite on the texture page through waves horizontally and vertically in a predefined frequency. Here you simply need to ajust the values until they fit your specific need.
You can apply this also to larger images like shown on the water. Just keep in mind that this method is not the best way to apply it there.

Thank you for the great tutorial! About water distortion shader, it would be amazing to have a tutorial on how to make it for a top-down view game!

[@1upIndie]

There is already one video out there for that. Shaun Spalding has a video on that.

[@Corilo91]

​@@1upIndie Thanks for the response! If you mean Shaun's video "GameMaker Devlog: Water Shader & Physics", it's not really a tutorial, more like an overview.

Greetings, do you have any idea why this freezes when compiled for android? after about 75 seconds??
Thanks

[@1upIndie]

Hm, not sure. Did you try their help desk?

[@wozatronics]

@@1upIndie I'm currently waiting lol, thanks for the reply. Also do you know how to make the water effect the same all over the sprite, so its not so intense at the bottom compared to the top?

[@coronagalvez19]

Salut, je cherche comment créer une sphère physique que l'on pourrait faire tourner sur elle même.
Comme lorsque l'on regarde une bille..
Peut on faire ça sur gms 2?

[@1upIndie]

Hé, j'ai déjà fait quelque chose comme ça. Découvrez cette vidéo: ua-cam.com/video/7myvDShiHEo/v-deo.html

[@Der_Raijin]

@@1upIndie je vais voir ça de ce pas

[@spiritgame6259]

Please make a blood effect tutorial.

[@1upIndie]

I already have hit effects tutorial. Anything specific that you want to see ( can do an advanced version)?

[@nou3188]

can you please make a tutorial on how to make priorities for npc's? like if they are programmed to follow multiple things atr once they will follow the one closest to them

[@1upIndie]

Not sure what the application is for that. Can you describe a more specific scenario, on what you like to see in such a tutorial?
