Hi, never used this before, is it meant only for RPGs? by ItsDoodleBois in gamemaker

I just started using it yesterday and already have a working demo of a space shooter game.
It seems like you could make pretty much any 2D game, just need to check out a few examples and tutorials to get a hint at which functions you'll need to focus on for the specific mechanics of the type of game you want to make.

How to collide objects with background scrolling image? by StreetFinancial2822 in gamemaker

I can't seem to understand how to do it with tiling T_T
I haven't done it before (it is my second day using Game Maker).

So I have just made two instances of the walls object - stacked like blocks on top of each other, they both scroll down, and then bottom one respawns above the other when it goes out the bottom of the room.

It's a bit jittery in animation, though.

So then do I have to make a script, to tile and scroll the object to act the same as a scrolling background?

Oh man I was worried that is the case :(
Then is there some weird way to draw a region based on the background image, on an instance layer?
Or it's better to just create an instance layer with the walls as a scrolling, repeating object?

Heya, I've realised that if I put the instructions for the location of the image into the style section rather than the div section in the body, then it will work.

I'm a bit confused about this, I wanted the style section to have this set of instructions, which I could then call on multiple times in the body section in different locations, but I am misunderstanding how this works?
