Craig,

I am working on a level editor system aswell that uses scripts. One of the features that I have is custom objects if thats what you mean. (The player can create his own objects). Also, I am building a script that writes and encrypts an archive for external sprites, etc.

//soon to be released

Hey, I downloaded the level editor, I really like it.
But...
When I tried to merge it into my game, I got a few errors.
I fixed a few of them, but one error is still there and I can't fix it
Here is it:

___________________________________________
ERROR in
action number 1
of Draw Event
for object editor_controller:

In script lev_draw:
Error in code at line 7:
if(global.gridvis[i]=1)

at position 12: Unknown variable gridvis

I would appreciate if someone helped me.

I would love to try it out, but it seems that I am not able to download it. Could you add an extra download link at another host?


Thanks.

exists=lev_exists(1mf);//Check if the map exists or not!
if(exists=false){//if the map does not exist
show_message("That level doesn't exist!");//Say it doesn't exist
exit;//exit
}
lev_load(1mf)//The name of the room is the name specified when joining the game_room!

Ok I want to use this in my game. But I have a problem. Ive tried the old version (with bugs) and this new one (without bugs) . But there is a same problem with these two. I create a map in the level editor and when I load it in the game room, happens this: Firstly, there are created 5! players : 1 which is in the game and the other four are outside of the game (I see them in the minimap and thier laser sight is visible too, thats whz I know that). Secondly ,the AI doesnt works. I load the map and the enemies are in the same position that I loaded them and do nothing. But everything else works with them, I can shoot them, the effects are working, everything, except the AI. So my question is: Is there a codes, scripts or anything else that didnt work with your level editor engine? So I can rewrite those scripts of mine.
Maybe I can send you the gmk file to look at it, maybe you figure something out.
Thanks

hmm everything seems to be working fine here?


And btw, what was fixed between this version and the old one? I never noticed any bugs in the old one.

A bug with glob vars fixed along with just a few minor things.

Please, as it is probably something stupid that either me or you did. BTW, this is NOT tested with D&D, so if you are using that it may be the error causing thing?

[Craig Davidson]

But how do you use external background files and what not with this new Editor?

[Craig Davidson]

Can somebody tell me how to use the external Background function in conjunction with the Open file pop-up screen built into the Language of Game Maker? So I can be able to load backgrounds in both the editor and the game?

You made it very complicated. You can make a Level editor way easier.

sorry for the bit of a bump, but why does the level editor convert the objects into numbers while saving? (i.e. game_wall would be saved as "17")

it's saves a smaller file, you could easily change it if you want though. Also it just makes it harder to read (or you could encrypt it...)

In the saving code where it goes
file_text_write_string(file,"instance_create("+string(x)+","+string(y)+","+....) change the last one to the name of the object, the objects name string

[Stevmay09]

I have a problem with the editor.
i kinda used those scripts that are in it, and the lev_object_dir(false),
i set it to false, but the objects keep spinning around.
how can i make it not spin? and make it where that object is always in a specific angle?

EDIT: Never mind. i fixed it.

Thanks! Major credit going to you!
