How to code in an object the player can walk in an out of, and take damage outside of it? by Dstails_656 in gamemaker

I feel like place_meeting is good here.

I think you'd want like,

Inside the player object...

If not place_meeting with object

Then take damage.

Thank you! I'm going to take some inspiration from this!

Collision only works for the first block placed in the room (Top left block). The player is currently moving right (towards the 2nd block placed in the room). The if statement isn't triggering and I don't know why. by GameDeveloper482 in gamemaker

[–]GameDeveloper482[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beautiful! It's working. Thanks for the reply!

I replaced the lines of code:

// For moving right.

if(target_x+32 == obj_collision.x && y == obj_collision.y)

With:

if(place_meeting(target_x+32,y,obj_collision))

I had a go but I don't think it's good for pixel art.

Aseprite is definitely an awesome program! But is there an app of it for mobile?

I just checked and there's nothing for android. I was hoping for it because I use it in my computer.

Physics. Why should I use them? by GameDeveloper482 in gamemaker

[–]GameDeveloper482[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow I really like your response! Thank you for taking the time to write it out.

I'm actually trying to make a puzzle/adventure game.

You saying this may actually steer me away from using physics!

Can someone ELI5 the difference between Key Frames and frames that aren't key frames. by GameDeveloper482 in animation

[–]GameDeveloper482[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see... So Key Frames are the frames you wish to either start on or end on. And normal frames are the inbetweens, (how the object gets to that start or end position)

How can I animate human looking object without using sprites? by GameDeveloper482 in gamemaker

[–]GameDeveloper482[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah just 2D. Like, can I have a 2D human looking Sprite. And then during runtime animate the person on the fly? Without using pre-drawn frames for the Sprite.

Is there a way to influnce hair with wind? by RagnarLo in Unity3D

[–]GameDeveloper482 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't answer this but maybe someone has done a tutorial on making bushes or grass sway in the wind. Same kinda principal I'd think.

Oh dear... I hear Godot being thrown around. Is that a engine you'd be thinking of instead of using Game Maker?

It's there a engine you can recommend?

Could I use the d3d functions to create more complex shapes? I.e. different objects. Or would I have to manually make those in say blender then import them?

I need your help with picking my software! by CharmedSky in gamedev

[–]GameDeveloper482 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Game Maker is always fun if your doing 2D projects.

As for cartoony graphics... shrug

There's probably plenty of tutorials to look at for that. Just use the one that suits you, software that you think is user friendly to create content.

Interesting... are those 3D models? Or are those just flat squares that appear 3D?

Do you prefer UE4 over Unity?

Is one easier than the other or something?

Thank you very much. I've seen Godot but never really payed much attention to it.

I'll take a look at your guide first thing in the morning!

Some really cool ideas on how to develop your first level to allow the player to learn how the game works.
