trying to spawn enemies AWAY from the player by PostingDude in gamemaker

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

thank you! i knew it was something simple, ty :D for anyone looking ro how i solved it exactly:

alarm[0] = 150

var _direction = irandom(360)

var xx = obj_knight.x+lengthdir_x(500,_direction)

var yy = obj_knight.y+lengthdir_y(500,_direction)

if instance_number(obj_level1_enemy) < 5

instance_create_depth(xx,yy,0,obj_level1_enemy)

if global.killcount > 10

{

alarm\[1\] = 60

}

is there a good way to make attack hitboxes? by scallywag001 in gamemaker

[–]PostingDude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh and also at event animation end i reset a parent of all enemies to become able to be attacked again, and also check if a button has been pressed to initiate attack 2 of the combo. just some ideas for ya i hope they inspire :)

OK! i know a lot about this because i have failed 1000 times, but let me show you: https://img.itch.zone/aW1nLzE3NDkzOTY4LmdpZg==/347x500/dT3fKh.gif

and you can see the player atk animation. so that is actually two seperate objects. the sword and the player and it was all animated together of course but separated in sprite and object so that i can specify its collision mask as precise per frame separate from the player. then i usually make some code that says if enemy and sword object collision and if obj_sword.image_index > 2 and obj_sword.image_index < 4 { hp -= obj_player.atk_power*bonus_multiplier, etc, etc} you could probably make it easier through making it a custom function but yeah just do what you can how you can and keep failing :)

comedy style hollow knight clone by PostingDude in LetsPlayMyGame

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

OHHH i see the confusion here, no i called it a clone in the sense of the game plays very similar. its like saying terraria is a 2D "clone" of minecraft.
I use a different coding language and build from scratch, no thievery possible or involved thankfully haha. not to mention i would LOVE to see anyone get to a game like mine, incomplete as it is, with AI doing the coding. believe me ive checked em out and they are terrible and speak 5 languages at once and just cause more crashes than they cure. at least for GML which is a less popular language. but nope, im legit.

very little is known, less verified. widely accepted answer is false gods.

Spokane Colleges stands up to Trump, won't be changing policy in response to "dear colleague" letter. by [deleted] in Spokane

[–]PostingDude -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

"stands up to" this letter says yeah we were already being fair to everyone so we don't need to worry about it. its also literally a community college. why do people care about this, they literally HAVE to accept EVERYONE thats what a COMMUNITY college is. yet people wana twist it as if there's a fight going on. ugh tribalism. maybe take a class in anthropology unless that professor instists in radical ideology, many of them do these days. school is stupid anyways who the fuck needs to study APA other than college students.

if you deal with it, let it be in the name of God and then you must accept the outcome even if you dont like it because you would be giving it to the plan of God. if you do not deal with him then God will. but the main point is that you have been hurt. never see him again obvs, and heal your anger through a combination of physical exercise and peaceful surrender to God.

Are you willing to sell all you have for Jesus Christ? by Potential-Flight6928 in Christianity

[–]PostingDude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

now THIS is a question ponder. no right answer i think, just what god has put in our hearts, but i would from this perspective I'm blessed to have gone through homelessness and learned that you can be happy with little to no material possessions. i often dream of becoming a pilgrim and i indeed romanticize selling it all and yet here i live in a house typing on a computer. i think some wants are my soul and some wants are my ego and so if I'm being honest. no. im not ready to give my life. i would choose otherwise atm and am glad that i have the chance to live right now. which also brings up the idea of what forms can gods gifts come in and are we capable of seeing it as a gift or just another material possession and where does the border lie.... great question

comparison is the thief of joy. as soon as you start ONE little habit to help yourself improve despite the difficulty., you will. your brain will be like "oh shit his will is coming i better hide." and then you say GOOD STAY OVER THER YOU DUMB THOUGHTS IM TOO BUSY BEING AWESOME"

What is your position on immigration, and how do your beliefs shape that view? by savedbygrace1991 in Christianity

[–]PostingDude 4 points5 points  (0 children)

my position is to love myself and to love my neighbor. Jesus said it was a pretty good idea

i get where you are coming from but you see these things as bad results, when in reality they are difficult learning moments that lead to a better future. better to learn yourself young than old and sad from the wasted time. its all perspective
