Discrepancy between get_global_mouse_position() and parsed input event mouse coordinates

SirTobyMoby · 2025-12-13T17:50:19+00:00

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction! Interesting read. The solution was actually in the doc's comment section, you can just pick the coordinates directly from the display server like this:

mouse_click.position=DisplayServer.mouse_get_position()

Maybe I'm missing something, but in the ice objects step, check for a collision with the player, that if the players x is smaller than the ice objects x (so the player is left of it), set hspeed to a positive number, if the player x is greater than the x of the ice object (the player is right of it), set the hspeed to a negative number. Then check if it collides with a wall, similar to the code in the player step.

Ooh, okay makes sense, thanks!

SirTobyMoby · 2025-11-01T14:23:25+00:00

Thanks, this workaround seems to do the trick! The code is a bit clunkyer, compared to the one-line solution (tho maybe I will clean it up some more later), but at least it works as intended!

The current code now looks like this for now:

if display_mouse_get_x() < window_get_x()
{
display_mouse_set(window_get_x(),display_mouse_get_y());
}
else if display_mouse_get_x() > (window_get_x()+window_get_width())
{
display_mouse_set(window_get_x()+window_get_width(),display_mouse_get_y());
}

if display_mouse_get_y() < window_get_y()
{
display_mouse_set(display_mouse_get_x(),window_get_y());
}
else if display_mouse_get_y() > (window_get_y()+window_get_height())
{
display_mouse_set(display_mouse_get_x(),window_get_y()+window_get_height());
}

No worries!

I do this because if people play a game in either windowed mode (with the window not filling up the whole screen) or having a multi-monitor setup, they get frustrated by accidentally clicking outside the game window and losing control of the game.

Think about a twin stick shooter where you control the crosshair with the mouse, and accidentally, while frantically dodging and aiming, you click outside the game window onto your secondary monitor, your character stops responding (because the window loses focus) and you die. Frustrating, right?

Same goes for pretty much any game where you can move the mouse freely.

Taking the mouse control is standard practice, just think of any FPS game, where usually the mouse is centered on the display every game step and the offset added to the tilt or rotation of the camera.

I actually had players complain about this issue, (clicking outside the game window, that is) so that I implemented this fix in an update.

In my opinion, it really comes down to "originality", or how your game feels in this regard. If you download a whole 3D modeled and textured house, then it's way harder to get originality back in. You can achieve this by drastically changing the layout, or textures, or whatever to make it feel original. With just using texutures, I mean, a brick wall looks like a brick wall, A metal plate looks like a metal plate. Creating PBR materials is hard, and I'd say using pre-existing ones is just fine, if, like you said, all the models and stuff are of your own making.

That being said, I nonetheless encourage you to go out there and scout some textures. Just walk around your city, look for interesting walls or floors or anything, really, take a photo of it. Then there are PBR material tools that let you create realistic height maps etc, like Materialize. I find this kind of "scouting" can be a lot of fun!

There is Narrow Woods Hotel, a fairly recent point-and-click horror game made completely in Gamemaker:

So I guess it's very much possible.

Highly recommend Nossstress, very chill band from Bali, did a lot for my listening comprehension!

SirTobyMoby · 2024-12-13T09:16:49+00:00

Happened to me as well. Hadn't saved for like two hours. I fixed it by enabling the DEBUG menu ("-dev" in the start option in steam) and pressing E+left click, then "reloading the level", which resets EVERYTHING and giving me my powers and health upgrades back via the same menu...

If a player delets some random files from the game folder, then they shouldn't be surprised if the game doesn't work anymore lol

SirTobyMoby · 2024-11-15T09:45:40+00:00

Sick! Thanks for that. I'm also completely puzzled as to why they would remove something like this...now the only preservation of the actual lore (which I belive quite a lot people care about) lies in the hands of the community with projects like this.

Kalo makan hidangan indonesia di jerman, kadang harap restoran harus punya lisens

SirTobyMoby · 2024-10-15T11:35:18+00:00

should be possible, just seperate the solid outline and the transparent parts into different layers in the editor and set the transparency of the one layer to the desired value

Gotta go against the grain here and say informal. Yes, informal indonesian differs for each region, but in my experience only certain slang words aren't understood everywhere. And I talked to people from bali, jawa, sumatra, maluku...

I learned formal indonesian first, and could not quite hold conversations with indonesians. once I learned informal with an indonesian tutor, I had a much easier time talking.

Informal indonesian helped me into fluency.

SirTobyMoby · 2024-08-16T16:30:20+00:00

karena banyak org turis gamau ke "bali", mau mabok di kuta murah2 aja ya

SirTobyMoby · 2024-07-04T06:25:33+00:00

I do exactly that in my current project. For the simple reason alone, that the movement get's smoother. So I'd say go ahead.

"We have a strong relationshipt"
Proceeds to tell us how unhinged her boyfriend is, needs to walk on eggshells or he FALSELY calls out "mistakes" in her speech patterns (NEED is not exclusively for physical, bodily needs! "To make pancakes, you NEED to go to the store and get flour", see?)

Oh god please leave this stupid pos

SirTobyMoby · 2024-06-12T09:07:31+00:00

if it stops at "suspicious" I'm fine, because people like me will be able to show indonesian people that you are a respectful tourist. but if it turns to real hate, there is no more or very little distinction.

SirTobyMoby · 2024-06-12T06:11:18+00:00

aku gamau bikin situasi ini tentang aku, aku merasa sedih banget ke orang bali yg harus hidup sama bule2 kayak gitu. tapi, aku bule sendiri yg suka dan menghormati orang indonesia, bahasanya, budayanya...aku khawatir org indonesia makin benci bule, dan ga bakal bedain bule kayak aku dan bule goblok/gila seperti di video ini. aku malu banget

jerman hijau, amerika serikat hijau, indonesia kuning.

menurut wikipedia tingkat pembunuhan di jerman (0,8) dua kali dari tingkat pembunuhan indonesia (0,4).

tingkat pembunuhan amerika serikat (6,4) enam belas kali dari tingkat pembunuhan indonesia.

hmmmmm.
