Title: Damaged Mega Man Example
Description: This example shows you everything you'll ever need to know about mega man
Type: .GM6
GM Version: GM6.0 (Registered)
Link: Damaged Mega Man Example
Filesize: 666 KB
Other Info: I made this example based on the gigantic amount of emails and PMs I got asking for my Hard Hat code. So I have decided to make an full on mega man example. Here is what the example contains:

-Running
-Jumping
-Sliding
-Getting Hit
-2 Enemys
-1 Boss
-Stage Select Screen
-Customizable game pad
-Saves game pad buttons
-Animated background
-Animated floor
-Room Fading
-Health Bar
-Boss Health Bar
-Ammo Bar
-2 Different weapons (after you beat spark man)
-Pause Screen
-Health Pickups
-Ammo Pickups
-Get weapon screen
-Death
-Lives
-Game Over
-Death Animations
-Use of parent objects
-Plenty of comments

This is a pretty complete example, but is meant for ADVANCED users. I do not want my PM box getting loaded down with questions on how to use it. I think I did a pretty good job of OVER commenting, so if you are having trouble, most likely its because of your GM knowlege, not my example

1 Quick note: The colorizing function is strange, so mega man turns green when you change to spark, not yellow. I didnt feel it to be that important to customize a color for an example.

Hope that I can see some great new mega man game made with the help of this example

Enjoy,
Damaged

This is a great engine Damaged, one i will most definently use in the near future. Thanks for taking some of your time to make this great example and share your knowledge. Thanks

[Cobra Banshee]

Cool, will use in my platform games. Welcome to my credits

[Gosupuru]

finally, something to help production

[dr. light]

sweet. now i just need to make wallskip and charge shots work

also, i dont see how you got it to continue from certain point if youve been there b4?
maybe i just didnt see the right object

[Damaged]

Lets, see, look in deathFadeObj at the end of alarm[0];

if global.hasPast = 1
{
room_goto(sparkManLevel1);
}
if global.hasPast = 2
{
room_goto(sparkManEnt);
}
}

Now, look in the creation events of the sparkManEnt and sparkManLevel1. There are varaibles called global.hasPast. Thats how its done

could you make this a gamemaker 5 example (unregistrerd) please

[paulcun]

hey it'it's chris. i am new with the scripting part of game maker but i am learning a lot from the megaman example game on game maker. but there are still a few things i am having trouble with. these are:

1.making enemies drop health when you destroy them
2.stopping the game for about a second when you pick up health
3.charging up your weapon to make a stronger bullet
4.how to make megaman dash
5.how to make a talking scene like you can't move and the letters come up one at a time but fast, if that makes any sense
6.when you beat a boss they become grey on the stage select screen

if you can tell i am trying to make a megaman X style game rather than a megaman game. any help you can provide will be great even if it's just an email with the script for these things and i'll put them in myself. i have been learning a lot from the example game and slowly starting to get the hang of it but i just don't really understand how the bosses or enemies move. the only problem is i don't have a registered version of game maker, i fixed of this problem in the example when you teleport in and the color moulds or changes or something you could only do in the registered version.

so any help with these would be greatly appreciated and you will recieve a huge credit it in my game.

Just browsing along. This engine is very, very good! But I'd like to know how to charge too.

[OmegaZero]

This engine is awesome!

If I use this, I'm putting you in my credits, at the top!

I'm a little confused with this tutorial...can you only play the game if you have a gamepad or a joystick? All I have is a keyboard and mouse and nothing happened at the main menu..I hit every single key and it didn't work . I read through some of the code and I take it that if you don't have a gamepad then you can't control the game, right?

[Very Melon]

Very good example, Damaged! Your name is in my credits list!

By the way:

1.making enemies drop health when you destroy them
...
5.how to make a talking scene like you can't move and the letters come up one at a
time but fast, if that makes any sense

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

On first Paulcun, you could just put the "With chance of 20, execute next action" or something. That makes them appear quite seldom but you could put 10 for little ones and so on.

On fifth, you could make it a timeline for appearing letters and make completely different objects for non-moving objects.

[GlassMan]

This'd certianly help. My brothers and I are making a Mega Man-styled game featuring Proto Man. You're on the credit list.

[thelegend0fzelda]

Very nice, indeed, but I did find a glitch, if you keep pausing after you've beaten sparkman, it'll eventually leave you in the room without leaving, (this happens when you pause it right when megaman is about to teleport.)

I experimented a bit with the scripts and tried to get as close as possible to charge a weapon.
I used 4 more alarms, and another script.

This is something like the script for chargeshots

/////NOTE: This script is performed in the S release eventif charge<=0{ sound_stop(charging sound) sound_stop(chargedsound) charge=0}if charge=3{ instance_create(x,y,chargeblast) charge=0 if sprite_index=megamanstandleft {sprite_index= megamanshootleft; alarm[0]=2} if sprite_index=megamanrunleft {sprite_index=megamanshootleft; alarm[0]=2} if sprite_index=megamanjumpleft {sprite_index=megamanjumpshootleft; alarm[0]=2} //NOTE: You'd just copy these for the other direction, changing left to right}

then in the key press S event add
alarm[<whatever number alarm you use>]=30
Then in that alarm

if keyboard_check_released(ord('S')){charge=0}if global.weapon=2 //spark weapon{exit}elsealarm[<again, whatever number you decide to use>]=2

In the other alarms

charge= //1 for first stage 2 for second 3 for full chargealarm[<first alarm event used>]=20

It goes somewhat like that. The only glitch I've found is that if you let go of S around the second alarm event, it'll stay charged and the next time you press S, you'll let out a normal shot along with a charge shot at the same time.

[Very Melon]

This is indeed very good example. Only thing I'm missing climbing ladders.

Also, there is a bug. If you pause while Sparkman is charaging his spark, he stays like that forever.
