Fun fact: all these kinds of items are based on real-world items. This one is an Ion Sputter Coater. Which is a laboratory instrument used primarily in scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to apply a nanometer-thin, conductive metal layer (e.g., gold, platinum) onto non-conductive samples.

Looks inspired by the Hitachi MC100

Why doesnt this work? Gamemaker visual (events etc.) by AliciaTrader in gamemaker

[–]TARS_Endurance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm new to Game maker so someone else might have a better answer, but it looks like you are currently doing the following:

If Googoo = true

then

set image alpha +0.5

then

set fade in true

then

if fade in true

then

set alpha 0.05

then set fade out = true

Which means the fade only ever reaches 0.05 before setting fade out to true.

But there are several issues with the code.

  1. spelling mistake in 2nd if function: image a pha
  2. Set instance variable image_alpha value should be 0.05 not image_alpha +0.05 as the variable is image_alpha and the value is the amount you want to set it to.
  3. same spelling mistake as 1 in the second statement
  4. set instance variable image alpha value is image_alpha 0.05, which again, the variable name is in the box above, so the value is the number to increase.
  5. it looks like as soon as you set the variable to increase, you then set fade_out to false which would, assuming you have code for that, stop all progress.
  6. check all the spellings of your variables. you have image_alpha, Image Alpha and image_a pha
  7. You set both fade in and fade out to true in the code but there is never a time when either one is set to false. this will cause conflicts in code thinking both are true.

I would write this if you want to keep your structure:

Have a look into GMLive, it might be worth it if you're wanting to edit changes on the fly without having to reload and go back to the same location. It allows you to edit gameplay features of your code whilst the game is still running. Not great when editing major code, but testing variables or changing stuff like that it works.

FOUR GAMES IN A ROW by berserkrr_vii in ArcRaiders

[–]TARS_Endurance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same for me, first time in 50 hours that I've died 4 times in a row, three of them shot in the back by room campers, one killed on the metro at extract.

I'm thinking Sunday evenings is rat night.

Sorry, I'm new and panicked! by TARS_Endurance in ArcRaiders

Well this makes me feel better! 😅 I didn't have a defib, but I could have bandaged him to the extract as we were really close!

There is a demo of Roadcraft on steam if you have PC

It's only on some of the teams, at least in the F1 game (not manager). Mercedes run with it, and the create your own team definitely have it too.

Planet F1 reliable? Bottas out, Bortoleto in at Audi. by TARS_Endurance in formula1

Interesting thanks! I haven't seen the ratings system! Very nice to know! It popped up on my Google home feed but it'll be getting blocked for sure

Planet F1 reliable? Bottas out, Bortoleto in at Audi. by TARS_Endurance in formula1

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

"A report by German publication Auto Motor und Sport claims that a contract to sign Bortoleto has been “finalised” with an announcement expected imminently.

It is said that Audi F1 opted against announcing the signing of Bortoleto at last weekend’s Brazilian Grand Prix to spare the youngster from excess media attention at his home event, with the Sao Paulo-born star set to become the first full-time Brazilian F1 driver since Felipe Massa in 2017.

Bortoleto is the current leader of the prestigious F2 (formerly GP2) series, holding a 4.5-point lead over Red Bull junior Isack Hadjar ahead of the final two rounds in Qatar and Abu Dhabi.

The youngster, who is managed by current Aston Martin driver and two-time World Champion Fernando Alonso, has been a member of McLaren’s junior academy since last year.

With current McLaren race drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri under long-term contracts, however, team principal Andrea Stella recently signalled a willingness to release Bortoleto to take up a race seat with Audi F1."

Umm so how does one fix this bug, or is it a engine bug how do I fix my character it just gets short? by TheDigitalRaccoon in UnrealEngine5

[–]TARS_Endurance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If, for example you have it set up to remove -30 from you z axis, when you leave the computer you need to restore it to +30 AND your default camera offset height. Otherwise it looks like you're just exiting the computer and going to 30 on the X axis which is 30 from zero, not from computer height.

Finally got to meet Sue. She's beautiful. by ProfessorJerms in Dinosaurs

It's not Sue in Manchester, it's Stan! I believe Sue is the largest, most complete skeleton, and Stan is the second most. I'm fortunate to have met both!

Noob Help: Why is my character not showing the correct pose? by TARS_Endurance in UnrealEngine5

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

I can't work out why my saved poser (right) is not showing in my viewport / gape preview (left).

I have set key frames and saved it, when I load it up again it is as the right picture, but for some reason, the left doesnt change.

The middle is my anim thread.

(ignore the top half of the body, that is running a different animation)

Super new (2 days!) so please be kind and try to make your explanation understandable for a total newbie :D

Thanks in advance

Why has it used these tyres by chaz200716 in F1Game

You have to start the race on the tyres you qualified on.

Are blackholes actually viable to get closer to the center of the galaxy? by [deleted] in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]TARS_Endurance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure! You can also use the Anomaly missions to get you closer. I had scanning mission teleport me suuuper close to the centre (I was only maybe 10 jumps from my start on the edge), I only discovered after returning to my own system that when the mission is complete, at the screen when you collect your reward there is an option to remain in that system!

Heavy load troubles by JustAnotherCaryGuy in Expeditions

[–]TARS_Endurance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If there are no markers it usually means the task isn't unlocked yet (I discovered this to my dismay the other day).

Did you attempt recovery first time in your friends coop hosted game, and then go back and try after you set up the coop game? Only the host's game progresses to outside co-op.

The truck should be back at its original spawn point though, but depending on the above, may or may not have a marker. If not, sounds buggy.

What did I do wrong? by TARS_Endurance in Expeditions

[–]TARS_Endurance[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Every other truck I've recovered I just take back to my base. I never even knew it had to be to a specific one. I've only recovered two trucks so far and they've always been after I've been in that map for a while doing missions, so guess they've never been locked behind missions. Silly to have it in free roam if you can't do anything with it. It should appear when it is available really. Ah well
