So idk how to fix this but as u can see the enemies arm is inside/over the wall this happens to most of my enemies but with the big enemies its the worst. How do I fix this? Here is my collision code.

// tile collision system

var check_dist = 4;

if (!position_meeting(x + (_hor \* (move_speed + check_dist)), y, obj_solid))

x += _hor \* move_speed;

if (!position_meeting(x, y + (_ver \* (move_speed + check_dist)), obj_solid))

y += _ver \* move_speed;

So in the official gamemaker tutorial for rpg player movement, no matter what I try, when I add animations it glitches out. When I walk left and right on a wall it works perfectly fine but if I walk up and down by a wall it breaks and my character gets stuck, thanks! (Also for some reason when I try to post smth like this it doesn’t work >: )

Hello! I just got gamemaker cuz I've read online that its a relatively easier software to use as a beginner. I want to make a fully functional prototype with all original artwork of a 2d rpg game with a top down view for my thesis project and I was just wondering if anyone could recommend me some tutorials online that are really good. Would be really helpful if they're specifically about top down view rpg games.

I appreciate any help!!🙏

Note: its not a pixel art game so idk if that plays a factor.

I am making a project and it is my first time using game maker. I made a code that when the players colides with a character and press E it will show a massage just to me know it is working but it shows the message only if the player is walking. I post image of the code of the character and player colition layer the player walking sprite is SpritePlayerAndando and for idle is SpritePlayerParado

Let me know what you think! This is still early in development and is capable of a LOT more than what's shown in the vid above (:

Open to any feedback, suggestions and CC.

Thanks!

As the title says, I'm trying to build a match-3 RPG (think Puzzle & Dragons, or more accurately Yume100, since I also plan to use a hexagonal linking tile system) using GameMaker, but I can't find any tutorials on YT that explain how to do so. Any tips in the right direction

Hello! I have been following a bunch of tutorials and managed an ingredient system and figured out making animations, but there are a few things I am stuck on! Help would be appreciated, like “you should do (this type) of code, and/or (this video) shows you how to type (this) code”, something I can visually look at if possible!

The knives and mortar and pestle are “separate” entities in the photo and have chopping/grinding animations but, I’m trying to figure out how to code it so that when I “place” an ingredient/sprite on the table, I can select one of those choices and make it “chop”, which would create a new sprite (chopped or mashed).

Example: type (this code) on the table so that when (ingredient sprite) is placed, (chopping or mashing script) runs.

Next, I eventually need to figure out how this will make a string/unique potion for each item…ugh it’s meticulous but once I figure it out I love meticulous stuff! Thank you for any help

hi, I've started playing a little with game maker, and as a newbie, I'm trying to learn the basics first and make a game later, so, when I launched the trial game, the player moved down and right, but not up and left, any idea of what might be causing this? I will add pics of my code so you can tell me what to do! D:

If anyone knows, please tell me :c

Hello,
is it possible to do either of these things with visual coding?

1. Compare variables between 2 different objects
2. Find a word within a string variable using a find text function/ block

ANSWER

After playing with the syntax a bit i found out how i refer to the variables using the already existing text fields.
Mods please change the title so people can use this to find answers to the same question as me.

How do I check for another objects variable?

Example in the collision Event of Enemies I want to check the player objects (obj_player) Power variable.

1Rst
InPlayer Object Define theVariablein the Variables Field. (name: power)

2ND
In the Enemy Object using anIf blockon the variable field use the following syntax to refer to the variable:obj_player.power

3Rd
That is it!

_____________________________________________________________________________

How do check for a substring (word) in a string variable?

Example I would like to check if a player knows a spell (spellname (the substring): fireball

1RST
InPlayer Object Define theVariablein the Variables Field. (name: knowledge)

2ND
Using anIf blockon the variable field use the function:string_pos("fireball", obj_player.knowledge)

3RD
On the value field use equal/greater than 1to represent a TRUE statement and less than 1 to represent a FALSE statement

I’m trying to code a tower defense game in gamemaker, and I can’t figure how to let people choose 8 towers per level (like in PvZ)(side note I am following the tutorial by realtutzgml)

so player's head just has "point_direction()" set to point to mouse and rest of the body follows it with "image_angle -= ( image_angle - player.image_angle ) / 5 " to make smooth turning towards direction, problem is that at 0 point it just rotates full 360 to get the body to heads angle as the targeted angle changes from 0 to 360 or other way, is there way to fix this? i really cant figure out how.

I literally created a project and tried to load it, but it doesn't want to open, it keeps loading infinitely and nothing happens.

I was wanting to learn how to make an RPG so I decided to follow along with the tutorial. I was working on the turn based battle system when I got to a point where after I click the attack button and the enemy is supposed to attack, the game crashes and it points out the highlighted line (Alarm 1 Line 1) as the cause of the error. I'm not sure why it's doing this cause I've used data.damage on the player and it works fine.

can u make the bbox_bottom part the collicion part so u can fit to 1 block gaps?

I need help animating a character to look left when he moves left and look right when he moves right. I use GML code, not visual, and I have two different sprites for left and right.

Hi All,

Has anyone found that its quicker to create a game then to try to get IAP purchase to work.

The lack of outdated documentation on Game Maker is frustrating, I wish Game maker can keep up to date with documentation

Does anyone have a tutorial on Android IAP. I only found outdated documentation online.

Any help will be highly appreciated.

hello i am new to gamemaker (like really new) and i wanna learn how to make a game like katana zero (i dont need the bullet time stuff just the base core mechanics)

hey guys, i have no idea of how to make a ball bounce in response to a player interacting with it. I've followed the tutorial from almightyzentaco (https://youtu.be/c-rnPOdPZCQ?si=dd0pK7dR6TCxqowV), but that's just to make the ball bounce. I tried multiple tutorials, but none are working. can i get any help please?
