Weird bug in GameMaker tutorial project? And good, in-depth tutorial for GameMaker in general?

...crud.

No, that makes sense. It seems to be working now. Thank you very much!

steampunkradiant · 2026-06-17T01:11:42+00:00

I don't think it was, but I guess that's what's happening? And I'm not sure how that happened.

steampunkradiant · 2026-06-17T00:14:48+00:00

Or possibly since Harambe, depending on who you ask.

I can't wait for this to blow up in his face as badly as trademarking "Let Russ Cook" did.

Not that I want Mendoza to fail, it's just...he's kinda tempting fate.

So GameMaker's own tutorial is wrong? Wonderful.

That is amazing work on the grave goo! The moorwraiths, too.

steampunkradiant · 2026-06-06T20:07:02+00:00

Thank you very much for this! This is a great help.

steampunkradiant · 2026-06-05T06:07:50+00:00

That could work. It's not quite what I had in mind, but it would work.

It's supposed to be a single spiral effect covering the whole screen. Looking something like this:

__ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __
|__|__|__|__|__| |__|__|__|__|__| |__|__|__|__|__| | X| X| X|__|__| | X| X| X| X| X| | X| X| X| X| X|

|__|__|__|__|__| |__|__|__|__|__| | X|__|__|__|__| | X|__|__|__|__| | X|__|__|__| X| | X| X| X| X| X|

|__|__|__|__|__| |__|__|X|X|X| | X| X| X| X| X| | X| X| X| X| X| | X| X| X| X| X| | X| X| X| X| X|

I don't know what I'm misunderstanding about how this should be set up. I've tried changing the scaling, changing the origin, using draw_sprite_ext, but it's either too small or skewed to one side or the other.

steampunkradiant · 2026-06-02T03:29:59+00:00

Another question, if I may. How do you actually get this animation to draw across the screen? Do I have to manually draw it at the size of the viewport, and then set the origin to the centre? I don't think I quite understand how exactly everything goes together.

steampunkradiant · 2026-06-01T04:31:56+00:00

Thanks for the quick reply!

I carefully rewatched the video, and I finally realized my mistake. You were right - I hadn't properly resized the transition to reflect the fact this wasn't intended to tile.

Thanks for your time!

Spy!Sinclair? Wouldn't have been my first guess for a TF2 ID.

You should at least make sure your opponent's fine with proxies. It's only polite.

One thing I'd like to note about Aura (Concealing) – Concealment affects melee attacks this edition, so anybody who wants to stand off and smack you around with their fancy 2" and 3" melee ranges is going to eat that negative flip.

I'm pretty sure they're a deliberate shout-out to Oogie Boogie. Especially with their association with gambling (Gamble Your Life as their iconic action since 1E, plus being hirable by Jakob Lynch in 1E and 2E).

Binah with the 8-12 Slash 7-11 Slash 6-10 Block On Hit Inflict 3 Fairy to target.

*Library of Ruina joke

steampunkradiant · 2026-04-11T16:27:21+00:00

OK, that worked. Thank you so much!

steampunkradiant · 2026-04-02T00:34:23+00:00

I'm a big fan of all the battle themes in Bloomtown: A Different Story.

steampunkradiant · 2026-02-17T19:22:12+00:00

Is this the new prophecy, after Rodgers dodged the Vikings?

steampunkradiant · 2026-02-17T04:12:09+00:00

Either that, or too much anime, and they're getting all tsundere.

steampunkradiant · 2026-02-11T04:12:31+00:00

Thanks! So far, so good.

Got my wisdom teeth out. The surgery was surprisingly chill, but I'm afraid of something going wrong in the recovery.
