The ultimate D&D to GML converter v2.2

By Davve941018

Info:
There are alot of GML helpers out there, but all of them can only translate one D&D action at a time. With The ultimate D&D to GML converter you can translate an unlimited number of D&D actions into Game Maker Language in one click! Just drag the wished D&D actions into the action field, just like the real Game Maker, and answer some simple questions depending on what action you selected. Press the "Get GML" button to translate it into pure Game Maker Language that can easily be copied for you to put in a code action, in a script or wherever you wish!

Looking at the second screenshot I see "=" being used in a comparison instead of "==".
This is the wrong way to do it as the value of that expression will always come up to true regardless of the value of the variable.

No, in GM, you can use = as a comparison without any problems. With other languages you need to use == in comparisons.

it is however better practice to use ==

Exactly.

[Davve941018]

Well, you CAN use == instead of = but it still works.

[aprentice]

this is a really good engine, it's easy to use and you could learn alot from this. If i had had this when i was learning gml i would have learned it faster! but you could make a scrollbar so you can put more stuff in the box.

Very useful program. I can't wait until version 2.

9.5/10

[Commander~DEST]

*COUGH* "BUMP" *COUGH*

Are you still working on this program?

[Davve941018]

Are you still working on this program?

Not so much, I'm afraid, but there will be a version 2.

Known glitches:

• If you un-check "Ask if relative" and use the "jump to position" action an error message will come up saying "Unknown variable rel".
• In the load and save game action, it should be load_game("savegame"), not load_game(savegame).

If you find any glitches, PM me on GMC or Yoyogames (Davve941018) or post here.

Isn't it game_load("savename") not load_game("savename")

Well, anyways nice program

[tamper2]

Very good application!
The best Converter I've seen yet
Very good interface, I loved the idea that you place it on one side and it translates it
I'm sure it will be very helpful for beginners!
I like this very much so I give it 5/5

Very good job!
Tamper

Thanks for telling, I fixed it now It was a typo in the post, not in the game

Thanks

This should be useful for beginners to learn from. However it will really start to improve a beginner's game-creation-possibilities, once you start adding functions that aren't already on the list of D&D-commands. This could be draw_button, event_user, draw_set_alpha (D&D only features font and colour), or whatever. I know that most common functions are featured already, but you never know when your user might need something specific besides the build-in stuff.

Also, a great help (that would suit those users who are already likely to use this program) would be to include some sort of variable-library to help you fill out the arguments of your commands, similar to the GML-part of the manual. Only your system could be implemented, so that it would contain variables only (since functions are represented already), and could help you fill out arguments and statements quickly.

EDIT:Oh yeah.. And what about for-loops, repeats and so on.. They could just look like if-constructions, and would really help some users!

Hope you like these suggestions, course it's a brilliant concept. I think it will help a lot of people either create more advanced games with D&D, or obtain the knowledge to 'move on' to GML if they should feel like it.. Good job!

What about indenting?
What about another format or the ability to choose the format.
Like this:

CODE

if(x == y && round(x / 32) == x / 32) hspeed = 2;
else hspeed = -2;
if(place_snapped(16, 16))
{
    vspeed += 2;
    hspeed = 0;
}
else if(x > y)
{
    switch(round(z / 3))
    {
    case 0:
        hspeed -= 2;
        break;
    case 1:
        hspeed -= 4;
        break;
    case 2:
        hspeed -= 6.
        break;
    default:
        hspeed = 0;
        break;
    }
}

It makes it easier to read, and easier to understand it learns new creators the GML Language in a proper way.

WOW!! THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER!!

Amazing! I just started using it and it's already helping me! 9.9/10

[Metfan]

love the app, however could you PLEASE put a way to delete one action if you don't want it in there, or if you want to change something out for something else to test the app (like i was) maybe i just missed something (if i did could you please explain how to delete one action) but all i saw for deleting was the delete all button and when i tried clicking on the action it just re asked me for variables. Other than that awesome program, can't wait for version 2
