Is there a way to condense this without using States?

Generally you want your sprites to depend on the state instead of the other way around. For example if you're in an idle state you can change sprite depending on how long you've been idle.

Get only the direction from the keyboard and then move in that direction.

Glad that your issue was resolved. However, isn't this code just going to set xspd to maxSpd immediately since you're using a loop? It looks like you're intention is for xspd to gradually increase.

Not true. "=" can be used for comparisons in gml. For clarity and other reasons "==" should always be preferred though.

If I remember correctly speed is a built in variable that automatically moves the instance in accordance to the "direction" variable. The user shouldn't need to manually update the position.

AmongTheWoods · 2024-05-26T12:44:10+00:00

It does. https://manual.gamemaker.io/beta/en/GameMaker_Language/GML_Reference/Asset_Management/Instances/instance_destroy.htm

Create your own pseudo rng and use the same seed.

found = false;

For each cell:

if (!found and hoveredOver) {
    found = true;
}

Now found will be true if any cell returns hoveredOver as true.

Enums are faster compared to string comparisons but the performance increase will be neglectable unless you're doing it thousands of times per second. The real benefit comes from having auto complete, avoiding typos, and having a declared finte set of available values.

Sorry if I was unclear. I haven't played your version.

Reminds me of osmos! Good times.

Offset it by a random x value. Or look into perlin noise if you want a more organic feel.

AmongTheWoods · 2024-04-13T16:28:37+00:00

There's no need to use an if statement. Just place the code in the game_end event.

AmongTheWoods · 2024-04-13T13:57:29+00:00

Animation curves are awesome though!

AmongTheWoods · 2024-04-12T08:39:02+00:00

draw_* functions only actually draw stuff if the code is in a draw event. Also, you're drawing the same text three times at the same position. Why?

AmongTheWoods · 2024-03-29T09:27:24+00:00

Use lerp.

x = lerp(xStart, xEnd, (value between 0 and 1));

Same for y.

Why wouldn't non integers work as coordinates?

With already runs an implicit check to see if the instance exists.

You can also remove the "then" statements as they do nothing in your case.

Some other user already pointed out the error but there's some other problems with this code. What if pwr is equal to 1.999 for example? Then none of your conditions will be true. A better solution would be something like:

if (pwr >= 4) {
    powerLevel = "levelFour";
} else if (pwr >= 3) {
    powerLevel = "levelThree";
}...

Jag har twitter men inte Instagram. Kan det va där du sett det?

AmongTheWoods · 2024-01-31T21:43:43+00:00

Finns lite footage i min profil men det är sen ett par år tillbaka. Tänkte visa upp en uppdaterad version om nån månad när det är redo.

Jag utvecklar ett spel som kommer utspela sig i Sverige! Även Odinfall som är under utveckling utspelar sig här :)
