What changes does the version made by flexaplex have?

[aKtimelli]

Is there any way to implement gravity into this engine? It would be really cool.

Otherwise, nice engine.

awesome example. I'll use it!

Ah. Thanks a ton for this! This saved me lol. I couldn't get the walls to work as precise as I wanted them to

In the ISOMETRIC, can you fix it so that it "snaps" to the grid square where the mouse was clicked?

Usually it stands crossing over the lines.

Thanks.

Edit:
Also, in ISO view, if we click on the LEFT of the top-left GREEN obj_cylinder_iso, the obj_player keeps circling it forever.

Edit: Actually, if you click CLOSE to any obstacle, since the obj_player is NOT snapping to grid, it runs around that obstacle infinitely. So in essence, snap to grid is missing!

I don't see the point to putting the grid snapping, cause then you wouldn't need a collision script like the one in my engine, it would not make any sense. You could definitely find a more effective way to move around while being snapped to the grid with a simpler collision detection system, since you only have to check the grid you want to go in, not every pixel. As for the player circling around forever if you click on an obstacle, as I stated before, there is no point to add a function to stop it from doing so since it's not part of this collision engine. Sorry about that,

This is a awesome engine, When i tested it from the file above it worked exactly as I wanted. However when I tried to use the script and the step code with my player on my game, it won't detect the walls and I cannot figure out why.

I am using GM8 Pro. I'm not getting any errors, and I copied the script codes exactly as in the gmk.

EDIT: I'm not sure why, but i got it to work with the 1st file and not the 2nd one. Not sure why it made a difference though because the 2nd file was basic it seemed.

Does this engine also account for making a character move up and down slopes?

[Ruub]

hey there!

I tried it out and It's quite fancy ;D

though I hoped using the bullet collision way of life, it didn't work for me
My game uses 1 pixel thin lines which which your bullet go straight through! huh!

If you care enough to give any suggestions, pm me please

Hey there. I've been studying the code in your example and am a novice GML user trying to learn more about the language.

Could someone explain what the 'argumentx' is in the move_step script?

Or at least, could someone direct me to a topic which covers scripts extensively enough for me to learn more?

I tried this out for my little tank game, but im having some issues getting this working on the tank itself.
It works perfectly on the bullets the tank fire, but the tank either moves on its own and stops when it hits a solid, or let me move it and just pass trough all solids.
Not sure what im doing wrong, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here's the movement code i use for the tank if its any help.

if (keyboard_check(ord('A'))) { direction += 5; }
if (keyboard_check(ord('D'))) { direction -= 5; }
image_angle = direction;

if (keyboard_check(ord('W'))) {
    friction = 0; 
    if (speed < 6) {
        speed += 0.3;
    }
}

if (keyboard_check(ord('S'))) {
    friction = 0; 
    if (speed > -6) {
        speed -= 0.3;
    }
}

if (!keyboard_check(ord('W')) && !keyboard_check(ord('S'))) {
    friction = 0.3;
}
