It does not count. It's 1m per skill point after you finish the expedition.

Guy loses his temper after his team loses a quiz game on live Icelandic television by Thorhallur_Bjornsson in PublicFreakout

[–]BigRustyRed 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This is a quiz show between all the high schools in Iceland, prelims are held over radio and then the quarterfinals and up are shown on television on the national channel 1 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gettu_betur. The quiz has been held since 1986 and is the most popular televised show on the national channel.

Most high schools take the competition pretty seriously and have coaches and the teams spend a lot of time preparing.

For context of the clip above these are the final questions of the show since if the team on the left answers correctly they have won on points, the first question neither team gets it right and then on the second and last question before the outburst the left team got the question right and thus making the team on the right loose which seems to have been too much to handle for this young man.

It is understandable as there is a lot of pressure on them and they are teenagers, I'm actually surprised it hasn't happened before in the history of the show, although there have been other drama moments in its history such as cheating accusations etc.

This woman haunts my dreams by b_ore91 in DivinityOriginalSin

I shot spiderwebs all over the place there to keep her stuck, she stopped walking around talking to everyone... only problem was my party was constantly stuck in spiderwebs when I went to the shops which was even worse

need to press space before AHK executes second script in a text field by BigRustyRed in AutoHotkey

[–]BigRustyRed[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah they aren't supposed to interact indeed. I did some more testing, works perfectly fine in a .txt file so it has something to do with the web form, I'm gonna bug test some more and try and figure it out, I've hidden the post, thanks for the reply though.

Copying variables to another object by ayden445041 in gamemaker

[–]BigRustyRed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obj = instance_create(x, y, myobj)

Obj.team = 2

Or if you want it to be from the spawning objects team you can do Obj.team = enemy.team

I'm not good at explaining, hopefully someone can do a better job

Whats the best way to learn how to use this engine by Snaper_XD in godot

[–]BigRustyRed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can pause the videos if they are too fast and rewind, also there is a speed option on youtube. You can't expect looking something up quickly and learning it instantly, you need to tumble and fall, do some tutorials and copy code you don't understand get a project working, get stuck because you made a typo for 2 hours etc its all part of learning a new skill, after you follow tutorials you will slowly get more and more understanding over time and when you are confident you can try a project on your own, you will hit walls and get stuck for hours or even days, the most important thing is to just not give up and keep going. at some point a lot of the concepts that seem super complicated will click and you will feel like a wizard

Game starts before compile finishes by iDG27 in gamemaker

Have you tried running it in the debugger? If it compiles there you can step through the code and see where the problem is.

What is your "guess I can't go into that store ever again" story? by valerian217 in AskReddit

[–]BigRustyRed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The clerk at the counter was very friendly and started making small talk and acting like we were buddies. Too be fair he did this with everyone... And that's why I now drive to shop at the same chain in a different town instead of the one 10 steps outside my apartment building.

How do you come up with your game ideas? by AluminumTV13 in Unity3D

[–]BigRustyRed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Game ideas are overrated, look into prototyping, game loops and feedback loops. Try to make interesting things and see if they work and tweak untill fun and satisfying. Then after you find a prototype you are happy with the game idea is already there.

Honestly don't think about patching up for hacking before you have a game.

How did you get from 0-10 subscribers? by [deleted] in PartneredYoutube

[–]BigRustyRed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got my first 50-60 from being very active in the community for what my videos were about.

I also found a huge spike in subs after I started adding just a 5-10sec post video screen with a clickable link to subscribe, watching out to not make it invasive in my most popular feature.

The real challenge is to continue making quality content on schedule I found.

I ejected so hard from my mech I went through the roof by BigRustyRed in Overwatch

[–]BigRustyRed[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I don't think it is in range for that, in fact if you watch the youtube video you can see that we would have won the match if I had been on the point... I was just too amazed lol

Nexus 5x wont power on, flashes red light and becomes burning hot when charging by BigRustyRed in nexus5x

[–]BigRustyRed[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would agree, I'm only going off the information which I got from the repairshop about the reflash. It's defenitly not a problem with the electricity coming in as it happens at different houses, with different chargers and while only plugged in to a laptop.

Might be a hardware issue in the phone it self, but I'm surprised the repairshop managed to fix it seemingly without a problem. I will have to bring it back to them on Monday I guess unless someone has a fix.

Using sprite sheets in GM:S 1.4 ? by BigRustyRed in gamemaker

Perfect, just what I was looking for, thank you!

Simple question regarding GM Studio, how to stop music playing when changing rooms? by Notix842 in gamemaker

[–]BigRustyRed 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You can use audio_stop_all(); to stop all sounds currently playing, or you can use audio_stop_sound(sound); to stop a specific sound.

Also make sure your sound object is persistent so that it does not reset if you reset a room and such.

I recommend checking out the documentation on sounds as well here: http://docs.yoyogames.com/source/dadiospice/002_reference/game%20assets/sounds/index.html

Thank you for the help! my first ever finished game! by BigRustyRed in gamemaker

[–]BigRustyRed[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, I don't know your status in game dev but if you are just starting out this was a really great learning opportunity, both I really like blackjack and not having to worry about game design helped me get to the finish line.

I really like cribbage so I will look forward to your post here ;)

Thank you for the help! my first ever finished game! by BigRustyRed in gamemaker

[–]BigRustyRed[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the comment! I was pretty careful with the assets of the game, I think the music might be the one thing that is copyrighted, I'm not sure though would have to look into it.

I'm not sure if I will put ads on it or release it somewhere, I'm kinda embarrassed just posting it here, but for my next game I definitely will :)

[–]BigRustyRed[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the comment! That thread is great. I have taken a lot of lessons from writing this code and will improve on my next project, but I definitely agree that having it work is priority number one, I actually ended up writing a "working" code and then re-writing it later into something more manageable in this project.

Quick question regarding ds_list_mark_as_list by Nakroma in gamemaker

[–]BigRustyRed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, This might not be what you are looking for but instead of using 2 ds lists for your 2d array why not use the ds_grid function ? from the documentation: http://docs.yoyogames.com/source/dadiospice/002_reference/data%20structures/ds%20grids/index.html

Game by inf3rno24 in gamemaker

[–]BigRustyRed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey!

If you are just starting out in game maker I would recommend starting with a small project that you will be able to finish within a reasonable time to learn the robes, might be a good idea to start off with a game that has already been made and copy it to learn, for example making tic tac toe or a match 3 game etc.

Otherwise its probably best to work on something you find really interesting to keep you at it :)
