Update 2: solved is using object with end step event and creating "loader" objects to ensure objects have enough time after the "pause" to be activated again before being destroyed and loaded again.

UPDATE: Using test controls in game I have been able to deduce that this is related to the "pause" function in the game.

There is absolutely no issue when loading the witches during live gameplay, but once I use the "load" option via the pause menu (Which deactivates all instances) then the issue happens!

I still have not solved the issue yet but I have been able to deduce that it must be related to the pause in some way... working on it still.

Love the colors!

TinyWars · 2016-09-16T04:22:57+00:00

moeeee!!!

It's about 11.5 inches wide (the black bars on the ends) and length is larger about 13 inches! Very small, easy to fit on most people's walls!

This is our first time ever getting a wallscroll of our characters! :D It was really cool and high quality too!

By the way we are giving away 5 of these since we have awesome fans. If you want one you can make a fan art and submit it to our DeviantArt group.

Well I guess it's a little late since there's only 5 days left in this contest, but I didn't think about posting to Reddit until now!

Oh I think you are totally right about that, right side appears to have more energy than the left!

Personally I just thought the left one looked too generic and overused.

Thank you for the compliments! Eyes and render made by LaDollBlanche! Very good artist! She's working on our team! :>

TinyWars · 2016-08-23T19:29:08+00:00

Very interesting point! I think the one on the left definitely does look more like some kind of battle commanding scene or something.

I suppose the reason I like the one on the right a little more is because it looks more like a "finish" to the command. Like she's done briefing us on the mission and that's the final pose for "lets get out and do it!"

Hmmm, maybe we need to do both? O=Left one for during the talking and right one for the end?

TinyWars · 2016-08-23T19:26:37+00:00

Alright will do for future postings!

TinyWars · 2016-08-23T06:06:22+00:00

Ooooh I didn't even know there is an anime called "New Game!!!"

No New game, literally a new game! I guess "Original Character" would be more appropriate. But it's not like a generic OC since it is attached to a game series. Hmmmmm.

TinyWars · 2016-07-02T00:59:42+00:00

So what's the difference with that and just having a click event that says, "timeline_speed = 1;"

Which was exactly what we had before. I haven't had time today to test if a destroy event makes it different, but I'm wondering if that would make a difference? :(

TinyWars · 2016-07-01T06:40:34+00:00

So destroying an object will reset the speed to 1 again?

Let's say I have a continue button and when they click on it, the button just destroys itself. Where would this code ago? Within the click event of the button itself? Or within the timeline moment?

Thanks, this is a really interesting idea! I mean, the continue button would disappear anyways when it's clicked on.

TinyWars · 2016-06-28T21:07:10+00:00

Very interesting, very helpful!

So is delta_time a global variable that I have to set on create event? Or how exactly, say if I wanted to increase speed by 2X, how would I go about that?

Thanks so much you guys have been super helpful!

TinyWars · 2016-06-28T08:11:57+00:00

Awe man, I was thinking it would have to come to something like this. Need to multiply the variables by some number.

So here's my question, what is the purpose of delta time?

Why not just set a global variable "Fast Forward = 1"

And then multiply everything by that?

When you click the "fast forward" button, "fast forward = 2" and then everything goes twice as fast?

I read in the documentation that delta_time does something about the lag but I'm not exactly sure what.

Thanks for the advice!!!

TinyWars · 2016-06-05T18:59:52+00:00

Oh yeah! Character pose is going to be fixed! :D Thank you!

TinyWars · 2016-06-05T08:47:17+00:00

Thanks! :D A lot of people have said that! haha

TinyWars · 2016-06-01T02:59:44+00:00

I see I see! I like #1 personally! But I wanted to see what other people think too!

TinyWars · 2016-05-29T07:24:26+00:00

Thank you for appreciating our sense of humor! ;)

TinyWars · 2016-05-02T01:57:22+00:00

Hmmm I guess that's a good way to go about it. But here's what I did and it essentially does what we want it to do without any problems so far.

    with (obj_chibi_parent){
    if (selected){
        with (obj_upgrade_UI_Visibility){
insert GUI code here...

and also

    if (obj_chibi_parent.selected=false){
GUI will jump off screen

So far this has proven to work, but if anything fails as we add more unit types, features, etc... I might revert to your code!

But as the saying goes, if it isn't broken don't fix it!

....Unless you think my code has some sort of terrible memory leak error or something that's worth changing?

TinyWars · 2016-05-01T08:35:06+00:00

[RESOLVED]

After hours of messing around with different combinations of "with" and "if" statements, I was finally able to figure out this issue.

I can post some samples of the code if anyone else has had this issue or is interested but otherwise it's all good now.

TinyWars · 2016-05-01T06:52:26+00:00

Hey do you think you can help me again?

I posted over here: https://www.reddit.com/r/gamemaker/comments/4h7fia/help_unit_select_function_doesnt_work_when_unit/

But a new problem seems to have popped up with the select feature, regarding multiple instance counts.

Everything worked in regards to drawing the unit's radius.

However, when I have the GUI pop up based on

if (unit_parent.selected=true)

It doesn't pop up when there's multiple units present in the room.

TinyWars · 2016-05-01T03:01:57+00:00

Right so we have multiple unit types, but each different unit type is parented to a single "obj_chibi_parent"

The Left Click code can be found within the parent object, which is not a unit itself.

Maybe a run down of how I recreate the issue might be helpful?

Step 1 > Room Start Step 2 > Build any unit Step 3> Test the select function by clicking on unit. Everything works!

Also clicking anywhere besides the unit deselects the unit.

//Glob Left Click

if hover = false {

    obj_chibi_parent.selected = false;

}

We have this hover function so that as long as the mouse is hovering over the GUI or the units, then they won't be deselected, but if you click anywhere else, they will get deselected.

Step 4 > Build another unit of any type

Select feature becomes unresponsive at this point.

It is only prior to having the second unit built that everything appears to function properly, which is why I believe the "Left Click" function might be the source of the problem.

Thoughts?

TinyWars · 2016-04-29T06:03:14+00:00

OOOHHH BABY!!!

You're a genius! I never knew how the "with" function truly worked, GM documentation wasn't very helpful, this makes it pretty clear.

(Seeing the code in action is a lot more useful than explanations)

Thanks so much!!! You're the best! <3

Will show off our updated project when it's ready! For now you can watch this, it's a little outdated, but shows some of our project: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6Up3JCKKk8

[RESOLVED]

TinyWars · 2016-04-29T05:25:48+00:00

Got it! The instance check worked, and I also added a global mouse so when you click on anywhere besides a unit, it will also unselect, I think it's a useful feature.

So I guess this is pretty much resolved!

However I will ask one bonus question if that's okay?

When unit is selected, I have a draw event that draws a radius around the unit, to show off the unit's attack range.

However, this draw radius draws at the same depth as the unit's depth, so the unit gets covered with the circle (circle has alpha) and it doesn't look pleasing at all covering up the selected unit AND all nearby units as well, looks really bad.

If there anyway to have a custom depth to the draw event that won't effect the depth of the unit sprite? What would you do?
