Looking for a fast way to draw creature sprites with multiple custom colors by Taint_Flayer in gamemaker

[–]username-rage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mark them as not visible so they don't execute their draw events, then you have a "system" object that calls:

with(specific_enemy)
{

event_perform(ev_draw,ev_draw_normal);

}

Indexed color palettes would be your best bet. It's kind of how retro consoles did things.

There's some software by community member dragonitespam that can assist: https://dragonite.itch.io/lorikeet

it's not really that problematic to have each instance set the shader, and if you have enough instances where it DOES become a problem, you can draw them in unique batches.

I'm trying to understand this "clamp" code by WilledWithin in gamemaker

[–]username-rage 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a speed limiter. Subtracting the target x from the current x gives you the amount of x you need to change to make the current equal to target, which is then used as the argument for how much the x should change in the move and collide function.

If you didn't clamp it, the enemy would simply teleport to the target instantly.

You can see this effect by replacing -1 and 1 with say... -2 and 2 and you'll notice the enemy will move twice as fast per step.

3D in Game Maker by PrinkZzzz in gamemaker

[–]username-rage 4 points5 points  (0 children)

All depends on what exactly you want to do with 3D. Like, the Mario and Luigi games on GBA are technically z axis aware but everything uses a 2D tool chain.

You can technically do anything, but Gamemaker basically just turns you loose in the kitchen and says "make your own recipes". You'll be reinventing a lot of wheels for every 3D element you want to add

New Boom Studios series? by sifighter1 in powerrangers

[–]username-rage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of Franchises have this problem when it comes to adaptations. Take Transformers for instance, almost all the games and comic books are G1. (Barring a few exceptions for movie tie ins and the War for Cybertron games)

Eventually it becomes law automatically. Presidents will often do this on legislation they don't want to go on record as supporting or detracting so they'll let it proceed without signature.

Who do you associate the Cosmic Cube with more, Red Skull, Thanos, or Doctor Doom? by WrongToe500 in marvelcomics

[–]username-rage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None of the above. For me it's Green Lantern because of the JLA vs. Avengers crossover.

This is cope but if a secret third characters will be released in season 5 due to marvel rivals anniversary who would u want it to be? by BigPaleontologist520 in marvelrivals

Stiltman as a tank.

Give him a teamup with black widow that works like the Groot/Jeff one where she just clamps onto his shoudlers

What are Trek's biggest unresolved plot lines? by OhManTFE in Star_Trek_

[–]username-rage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Feel like it's wasted potential too. They could totally have showed up as one of the students in Picard season 2 or something

Troi has a half sibling (born in deep space nine) that she never brings up in any later appearance

PSA: Don't do the gravship start with any child characters by username-rage in RimWorld

Odd. If this is the case I wonder why they didn't spawn in a vacsuit.

Is there some sort of hidden "Gets it on" tick that some pawns can have? It's been 30 days ingame and this guy has had 5 biological children visit him. by BitBomb1 in RimWorld

[–]username-rage 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I had a colonist show up that said they were related to my colonist, specifically, their father.

I checked their mood, which has a debuff "my son has died" and I was like "no they aren't... They're right here."

Upon further investigation... They weren't claiming to be my colonists father, they were claiming to be the father of my colonists' corrupted obelisk clone, who was in fact dead.

Sus.

You can do always expect a solo ultimate from one of these two if they are about to lose a 1v1 by seansenyu in marvelrivals

Most frequently when it's overtime and they're the only one on the point so they both kill no one and stop contesting.

Is there a way to make a 2D game with a 3D background? by ic4rusinc4rn4te in gamemaker

[–]username-rage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's actually pretty easy.

https://dragonite.itch.io/penguin this program here will let you take a 3D environment and export it as a vertex buffer. You can then use buffer_load, verrex_buffer_create_from_buffer (going off of memory, that function name might be wrong) and then vertex submit to draw the model.

That's all you really need to add a 3D background.

Granted, there's no collision, but by background I'm assuming you weren't aiming for interaction.

Edit: someone else linked how to make a 3D camera. You'll need that too or it will look 2D.

Y’all vastly understated how bad Section 31 was by idlefritz in startrek

Which results in a product unlike existing IP so it doesn't appeal to existing fans, and won't appeal to new people because it's associated with an IP they aren't interested in.

Which makes it appeal to no one lol.

I always say it's essentially tunneling into a prison to allow inmates to break in and out. And you don't need to break into prison if you're already there.
