Pausing code without stopping the whole game

11 October 2012 - 01:34 AM

This probably exists but i dont know how to do it.

Is there a way to just stop the code from continuing for like 20 frames, while letting the rest of the game continue, then continuing the code?
Or would i need alarms to work this?

It's so it'll work while, for example, a ball is moving.

I have some code but i wanna pause it mid-way, but i want the ball to keep moving, then after the pause
the code will continue functioning the exact same way?

Kinda like a local "sleep()"

Is this possible?

How to display zeros before number

02 September 2012 - 03:13 PM

Okay, so im currently starting an rpg, and my current problem is my HUD.

What im trying to get it to do is display HP and PP like this:
HP 0500/1750  PP 130/200

So you see, there should be zeroes in front of the first number to be equal to the amount of digits on the bottom.

like so:
300/500 - stays
002/750 - two zeroes
0505/9999 - the one zero added

4 digits is the max, im just trying to get this to work efficiently...
This was probably done before, but thanks anyways.
If it matters, my hp stat variables are hp[0] (current) and hp[1](max)

Does GML have an =nil function?

30 April 2012 - 08:29 PM

Hey, I took a break from GM for a few months, and in that time i was working with RPGMaker VXAce.
I was learning some basic Ruby coding,too, so I could code through that maker.

In that maker, if you wanted, you could check if something had an assigned variable or not by using:
if insert_var_name == nil
insert_var_name  = 5

and stuff like that. Does GM have that?

Getting the sprite from a string

18 February 2012 - 12:41 AM

So, I'm working on an RPG where the player gets 5 attacks per character, and then they command those attacks to make more.
Okay, it's confusing.


The problem is the sprites.
There will be many characters, and many attacks, so the thing is, I'm handling the attacks in one object.
The problem is this:

-I set up the attacks by naming them like this:
card1 = "fire"
card2 = "stab"
card3 = "blizzard"
etc.

then when I draw the sprite, i try:
draw_sprite("sprc_"+string(card1),0,50,300)
but then it just shows the first sprite i made.
the sprite i want is called sprc_fire

Help please?
