Hi guys,

Well, I was on my software project and I used the "Ultima Status Bar" extension, which displays the status bar at the bottom of the screen.

Currently, the only bug this extension have, is that when you resize the screen of that window, it'll go out of the way and was like glitched or something.

Recently, I've founded a way to fix that, is by redrawing the status bar every 1 step. It works, but the only problem is that the screen update the status bar quite slow. This is due to that the whole game's screen will not update (or draw) when ur resizing the window until you stopped resizing the window, it updates back the screen.

So, guy, is there anyway to update the screen while resizing the window? Coz it looks ugly if the screen draws only after you stopped resizing. I hope there'll be a reply soon Thanks.

Hi everyone ,

Recently I found out about an extension called "Game Maker Database Engine" by Darahbi, which does look interesting It's a spreadsheet-like engine and can import and export data. I was interested in this extension, sadly, the progress on the engine was halted, I tried to PM Darahbi regarding the engine, but no answer so far. I was thinking of making software, so I made this Junnav Spreadata with many DLLs, Extensions and GML scripts. So far, only 4 objects were made, two sprites, three backgrounds, two rooms and about 6 hundreds of scripts although most of them are just put in for temporary until I try to work on it sooner or later

It's a almost complete software, so I thought I would just post it here for some critiques and comment

Download link:
Direct link. (With Installer)
Direct link. (Without Installer)

(If this link ever broken or lost file, please PM me and I'll see where I can put back up this link )

Features:
1) Works almost like a spreadsheet (just almost)
2) Can import and export data.
3) Can take screenshot (which is obviously XD)
4) Have a menu bar.
5) A modify button that can modify the data.
6) A status bar (which I might add update for it to tell you what function it is when your mouse roll-over something like a button)
7) You can change your background (which I just added two testing background)
8) Link to my website at menu bar> help> website...

I've known most of the scripts used in this software, so if you really wanted to know how to do this or do that, please post below so that the others can learn from it

For now, I'll keep the GMK for myself until I have finished making the full software features. If you wanted to help me in the making of this software, PM me and you get the GMK from me to work with, but no stealing, okay?

So, comment, critique and review

Hi there,

I have a hard time to think how to make both player and NPC shoot bullets that's not too accurate but reasonable (not too far away). And I also wanted to ask how to make the NPC to choose the target itself, like if an allies soldier come closer to the enemy and the enemy will shoot it first.

The details of the game is the view of the game is from the top to the ground. And player will use mouse to aim and shoot. There'll be a number of allies and axis soldier that shoots each other, just like real war. I'm using Game Maker 8 pro.

The accuracy is based on how tense the situation is:
1) the player is not moving and less enemies: 90%
2) the player is not moving and many enemies: 87%
3) the player moving and less enemies: 85%
4) the player moving and many enemies: 83%
5) the player surrounded by less enemies: 80%
6) the player surrounded by many enemies: 78%
7) the player chased by less enemies: 75%
8) the player chased by many enemies: 73%
and so on

I'm not asking codes for all of these, I just want to know the main code and how the game read the condition to adjust the accuracy. Thanks for helping then

Hi! I'm on a project that I really need to play a video/cutscene like WMV and I would like to ask how can I do that?

I want to play the video/cutscene on the windows of the game itself, not on seperate screen.

I'm using Pro and I've tried to use the DnD, but the screen didn't show up anything. Is there another way to do it?
