Hello there.

I want an effect to be drawn at a certain point on an aircraft. Look at the red circle.



So I'm using

effect_create_below(ef_smoke,obj_player_parent.x+lengthdir_x(-10,0),obj_player_parent.y+lengthdir_y(25,0),0,c_aqua)

But it's not working. Here's an EXE of the game so you can see it in action.

The sprite is centered, and the same thing happens if I replace the 0 in the lengthdir functions with direction. I've also noticed that the lengthdir_y doesn't do anything, after changing the variables a few times. Why?

Many thanks,
Blue

I'm trying to give this game a kind of "anime" like feel to the graphics. I'm not sure if I've managed to...

Please post what you think in this topic, how long it took for it to load, and your frame rate.

Also, in the development of this project, I need assistance. I need sprites, one or two coders to help me, some AI (I tried, and failed), and a manga artist. Please send me a PM if you are willing to help.

This topic is also being discussed at GMG. If you would like to look at the topic over there, here is the link.

Ok. This is my latest project, BLASTOST - RETURN. I've left the other 2 because hardly anyone would give me feedback, and because of problems with code and sprites that drove me mad.

BLASTOST - RETURN

The year is 2930. Sightings of UFO's are disturbingly high in the skies above Blastich. Trade ships start to vanish. Then, one day, an INTERPTR-3c shoots down and confirms the presence of a UFO. A few days later the council, a group of 30 ministers agree to fund a new investigation by the BLA...

PLEASE REVIEW!

Thanks to:
The fake-particles example, and movement_ai example for helping me get out of some tight spots.

Well, in my game I'm just using resource packs. And that isn't good. So...

I need:
Marines (They should be top down, and look like the ones in halo, but beware, NOT master chief! THE MARINES!)

Marine with rifle
Marine with cannon
Marine with minigun
Marine with Rocket launcher
Marine with flamethrower

Vehicles:
Marine buggy (Like the warthog out of halo)

If you need to know what the marines look like, PM me.
