This is a updated version of a Tower Defence example I posted a while ago.It shows how to make a simple but good Tower Defnce game.

No credit required

500+ downloads, thanks guys

I making a game but I have run into a problem.

I have some mountains in the background which are objects. And I have another object that checks  

if place_empty(x+32,y)

but of course it counts the mountains as an object so it can't work.

Is there a command or script that makes the object ignore one type of object
e.g.

if place_empty(x+32,y) except for obj_mountain

any help is appreciated  

I was playing around with GameMaker functions and I made a script just to see if I could
Its rather simple and works well

It puts the game window in the bottom left of the screen
I suggest calling this in the beginning of the game

Code:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
//This sets the variables
posx = display_get_width()
posy = display_get_height()

//This does the maths needed to place the windo in the right place
posx -= room_width + 2
posy -= room_height + 2

//This physically changes the postion of the window
window_set_position(posx,posy)

//This script works with any room as long as it is over 120 pixels wide
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Feel free to edit and use this code anyway you would like
Credit not needed

Description:

A basic TD example written in GML for people who don't know how to start one or how one could be made. It has 3 objects(Turret,zombie,bullet) it makes turrets face towards and shoot nearest zombie in its range with a rate of fire of 1 bullet per 1/2 a second(Bullets also have offset from there aim).Hope its is of some help for beginners.

OK so I'm using


fname = get_save_filename("The Orbs|*.orb","");

if (fname =="")=false
{
game_save(fname+'.orb');
}

to save my games as a .orb but when I save it as a name that already has a save it adds .orb on the end every time so I get save.orb.orb

its probably something I did wrong does anyone know I can fix this?
