I use this to make one object serve as multiple objects. No longer will you need to make a different object for each square on a map! For each part of a boss that is destructible! For collision only objects that have different sprites! ...the list goes on.

what every object? lots of coding

[Skeddles]

Very nicely written, and a very useful feature.
Great job, you rock.

[T. Westendorp]

WHOA, WHOA!!! That's alot of people not knowing about the creation codes.... Still I did, good work telling the others though

Thanks! Never new this existed, now I don't have to create 20 million different objects with minor changes in each instance's code!

[Klestiko]

Thanks! This is an extremely useful thing to know!

One of the main reasons im replying to this is to serve as a bump so others can learn this, its really quite useful..

I discovered this like a year ago when I like accidentally pressed control and clicked and I was like wtf? I then discovered it and ive been using it ever since! it's very VERY handy so you don't have to make a gazillion different objects for each individual situation in your game. Good job on spreading the feature!

[T. Westendorp]

Well, I guess this is my second post in this topic and I still don't believe that people can't read, seriously, go to the room editor, press the Objects tab. And THEN read what is said completly down, just to the left of the room..

So say i have a button and i use the code "selected = true" when you click on it.
how would i make an object like for example obj_kaa appear in the room at a position.
(the object has code in it so i can move it around with the arrow keys)

Please could someone PM me the answer if they know. Thank you

Thread resurrection!

So I was wondering if it's possible to include creation code for an object that is made during the game. For instance say I want to build a structure (say a city or something) but I want it to be different from my other cities is there a way incorporate creation code on an instance_create? or do I need to make a bunch of different objects?

I knew about this feature for awhile but never found a use for it, now after looking at this I can see how it can be very usefull, and now I know how to make a simple teleportation script, which will come in handy I'm sure!

[lomke]

Woah! This can be very usefull! Thanks!

[arikispencer]

man this tut is so usefull the number of times i've linked people in the novice and intermediate forum to this, to answer there problem is getting to be a high number

[arikispencer]

still been linking many people to this, and i have used it in my own RPG game i've been working on
very very useful

thanks

with(instance_create(blabla)) {
execute your codes here
}

thx for this tutorial

[Eldin64]

This is really helpful.

But I was wondering, being new to GML and all, how do I make the teleportation code to a different room relative?

Instead of just going to room1, can I write a code that'll make it go to room2, then3? Something like, "room_goto(next_level)" or something similar?

I'm guessing you may have already solved it by now, but one possibility is to store the beginning rooms of each level in a global array at the game's start and make another global variable that stores the current level. Then, in the instance create code:

teleport_room = global.level_firstroom[global.current_level + 1]

Also, a heads-up to everyone who uses variable_local_exists to set default values: as of GM Studio, the function is obsolete. As a workaround, I reccomend creating a script for each object using the ICC that defines the variables and call that before everything else in the ICC... or if that's too much of a hassle, just stick to GM 8.1 for the time being.

Hi,
I am using gm studio
and needed that teleport technique


but when i open it i html
it does not collide with it and just passes through

and when i open it in windows c++ runner
The window just closes down after the player object collides with the teleporter object

I am sure i used the code correctly in the same manner as described
