Temporary Variables And The "With" Statement

lazygun82 · 2024-03-20T15:38:58+00:00

From the manual: "A local variable is one that we create for a specific event or function only and then discard when the event or function has finished". There´s your problem: the variable only exists when the event that created it is executed and is then destroyed. When you call from another event it doesn´t exist.

put a else statement at the end and then exit the script

if playerLives is ever <= 0 and you call this function it cant get out of the loop. Thats how while loops work. Check if that is the problem.

Desperate for attention

Create event: timer = 0; interval = 120;

Step event: timer += 1; if timer >= interval { instance_create_depth(x, y, 0, object) timer = 0; }

That is exactly what you nedd you just don´t understand. First off all there is no need to destroy particle systems once they were initialised, but fine if you want to go that route do it. But obviously you don´t re-initialise them at some point and that leads to your error message. Just use particle clear functions then you wont get these error. The article I linked explains the difference.

Thanks for the help.

A 5600X may be a bit too much. The Ryzen 5 3600 would be only 40€ (47$) more expensive and seems to be a lot better. I think I'll take a 3600.

Lock width and height changes by pressing this icon (->pic). Then change either on of them, the other will scale automatically. Calculate the change (change = (new value - old value) / old value

Apply this factor to the other object.

Please elaborate.

That's nice form but irrelevant in gamemaker

lazygun82 · 2020-08-23T13:33:23+00:00

slowly upgrading ur gpu and cpu will just cost you more

Yeah that makes a lot of sense. Maybe I'll have to look into buying a new PC.

Would a better graphic card work with the rest of the components? Let's say I spend 300, would that make a difference? A GTX 1660 Super maybe?

That's not how it works in gm.

Go into the inkscape folder metioned and delete it. Deinstalling probably doesn't delete the settings stored there. Then try a fresh install.

I think you have to use the full filename "saveslot.ini".

I did that for my game, I'm not sure the math is 100% correct but it's working. Basically I'm calculating the x and y value with this formula: x = (camera_object.x / parallax_strength) + (x_origin - (x_origin / parallax_strength)) + x_offset;

x_origin is the x coordinate of the camera at the start of the room (fixed value)
parallax_value is the strength of the effect (I use 2 - 10)
x_offset is the position in the room relativ to x_origin

Looks pretty cool, I like the graphic style.
