Implementing a jump-through platform in DnD?

05 October 2012 - 10:03 PM

I am helping a young relative of mine discover the wonders of GM. He's going through the official YYG tutorials.

After tinkering with the Platform Games tutorial he asked me a question:

"How can I make jump-through platforms for this game by using Drag'n'Drop?"

I have to admit it seriously stumped me :biggrin:

I have a few examples in code but he doesn't feel comfortable with that yet (and funny enough I don't feel comfortable with DnD, as I learned more from code examples than DnD).

So I promised I'd look into it, and ask the question here.

Sooooo, using that particular tutorial, how do you do jump-through platforms in DnD ?

Recommend a GML-compatible source code editor.

Hello there, my fellow GMC forumites.

I want to print out the various GML code I've been working on but the built-in code editor isn't very printer-friendly as it truncates lines, much to my dismay. I tried copying the code over to Wordpad but it took forever to add the colours, so I'm not going that route again I looked at the Notepad++ site but couldn't find a specific GML plug-in :-(

I am looking for a source code editor for GML , that would have the same colours and that would allow me to at a minimum select the font-size, or also what font I'm using. And I'm using Windows 7 if that matters.

Any suggestions?

Need help with shadows.

12 August 2012 - 10:29 PM

Some time ago I bumped into a pretty neat example of how to do shadows.

draw_sprite_ext(spr_treemask,0,x+12,y+30,1,1,0,c_white,.5)
draw_sprite(spr_tree,0,x,y)

( Sorry, don't know where I got it from, so if you're the original poster of this code-snippet, consider yourself credited :thumbsup:

(oh, and by the way, thank you!))

It works wonderfully with top-down games.

Now that I'm working on a side-scroller, I am wondering how to do the same sort of shadow but I only want it to show up on the player, I do not want it to show up on the background.

How would I go about doing that? GML code-examples really appreciated!

What is the GM:S equivalent for . . .

08 June 2012 - 01:30 AM

Ouch! I bumped into something pointy now that I've switched over from GM8.1 to GM:S (not that I'm abandoning 8.1)

I can no longer user sleep(numb), it has become an obsolete function :sad:

So, what is the GM:S equivalent for sleep(numb)?

( I'll be adding more in this thread because I've bumped into a few other ones that I'm wrapping my brains around. )
