About Me

I'm an 13 year old dirt biker, but I make indie games as a hobby. I used to use :GM7:

Lite, but now I finally have :GM8_new:

Pro. I won't accept any friend requests unless I know you personally. Visit my sandbox account at http://sandbox.yoyog....com/users/CGPM.

Email: trialsboy.cory@gmail.com

My best games: try Hole Jumper for epic music and challenging levels, or Ball Fighter for a lot of open source code and a very tough boss.

I also listen to Programming Throwdown, a podcast that covers a programming language every episode.

Using smoothstep()

19 July 2012 - 12:39 AM

There's a function called smoothstep() that I don't know how to use. I have an object that I want to move from one place to another. How do I do that with that function (and with a maximum speed of 15)?

What's your indent style?

What's the indent style (<<click here before voting) that you use, not just in GML but in other languages too?
Here's the poll.
Here's the results.

I usually use the Allman style, but sometimes the CCR style. Also for short things:

if activated {move=true} else {move=false}

Machinegun not firing

08 July 2012 - 10:47 PM

In this game, I'm making a boss which flies around randomly and shoots a machinegun and a rocket launcher. I've implemented the machinegun, but when I run it, nothing happens. Any suggestions? Here's the code:

Spoiler

///Machinegun
if !exploding && !limit
{
    if (sprite_index=boss_r)
    {
        if (point_direction(x,y,guy.x,guy.y) > 270)
        firing=1
        else
        firing=0
    }
    else
    {
        if ((point_direction(x,y,guy.x,guy.y) > 180) && (point_direction(x,y,guy.x,guy.y) < 270))
        firing=1
        else
        firing=0
    }
}

if firing
{
if (sprite_index=boss_r)
draw_sprite_ext(b_machr,round(random(4)),x,y,1,1,gauss(point_direction(x,y,guy.x,guy.y),10),c_white,1)
else
draw_sprite_ext(b_machl,round(random(4)),x,y,1,1,gauss(point_direction(x,y,guy.x,guy.y),10),c_white,1)
}

(This is run in the boss' step event. Resources used: boss_r and boss_l, which are the sprites for the boss facing right and left respectively, guy, which is the object name for the player, b_machr and b_machl, which are the sprites for the machinegun, and gauss(), which you can read about here.)

Pausing bug

03 July 2012 - 08:26 PM

In my game Hole Jumper, there's a level (only one) that uses views because the level is bigger than the default 640 by 480 display. When I pause, I take a screenshot, set it as the background, deactivate everything, and draw a fullscreen sprite, which works fine. But on that level, I draw the sprite at (view_xview[0],view_yview[0]). However, this makes the room in the back (visible through the semi-transparent sprite) look all messed up. Here's a screenshot from before pausing, and a screenshot from after. Anyone know how I can fix this?

How did you discover Game Maker?

Post other answers here.

EDIT: Oops, forgot to post what mine was. I went to an after-school class once and got to bring :GM7:

Lite home on a CD.

EDIT 2: Poll.cm is going out, so I had to move the poll to a different website. However, I don't exactly remember the options, so it might be a little different. Plus, the results from before were lost. :ermm:
