What is the Co-op thing? Will it work someday? I really want to see how does the multiplayer thing work!

[Lithium]

The Multiplayer is mostly coded, it is almost ready to go!

The way the players have been programmed is so that the player is like a dummy, he doesn't do anything on his own, unless he is being controlled. The control object assigns itself a dummy and whenever a key is pressed it activates a variable in the dummy, which will make it do stuff.
When a key is released it updates the variable. Also whenever one of its keys are pressed or released it sends a message to all other players connected. Once received by the control it activates those variables in the dummy, just like if the player himself had pushed a key.

This makes it a lot easier to set up the multiplayer aspect and I really hoped to have it done a month ago. I'm redoing the menu code at the moment so that it will be a lot easier to create a lobby system and I can get the multiplayer up and running very soon.

So for a while its just like a off-line co-op? I'm glad to know that you're currently working on the real-time multiplayer system! I wish this will be released soon!

The zombies can't climb at stairs?!
Zombies should spawn at windows at the background.

[mortalpico]

^You want a parallax system!? Well that might work...

Yeah I forgot to mention that the zombie AI is a little broken at the moment. It's being fixed in the next version. Also in the next version zombies will climb out of the background windows, but only at later rounds.

Wow, sounds good and getting better and better! Still can't wait for the Multiplayer!

[reav13]

Are you going to update this anytime soon?

[napalmgamer]

amazing but has a few problems. first of all, the wrong sound effect plays sometimes with insta-kill,and fire sail. and KABOOM doesn't do anything. also, the zombies can't go up stairs. is that on purpose? I can hang out in the middle of the stairs, wait for the hoard, then throw grenades and shoot them. oh, and then after the round is done, i hit mystery box which is right under the stairs. Overall, an amazing game
Oh, and you should totally make cheats. like jump 5 times to get a ray gun in mystery box.

Not so sure what you may think of me, never used game maker before. But, i highly support this project and would greatly love to join you. I often make games, but this is by far one of the best i have seen. I may or may not be able to get multiplayer up and running, depending on this game engine. thank you for your time.

Major bug spotted, if you get max ammo, while using primary, and switch to secondary if secondary is out of ammo, the game continuously reloads, not allowing you to switch weapons, knife, shoot, or buy new weapons.

As i note this dummy system, i notice some problems, i myself have used it and run into the same problems, unless you have some sort of "busy" variable, that sets off when the character does something they can skip reloads, shoot extremely fast, full auto bolt, pump, and level actions, although i suspect you've already done this. I look forward to this being finished.
