My Games - Made With Game Maker!

Only players and objects can go through teleporters as well as ice
conveyors and bridges in RTW and WSW and Wonderland (the actual
one game)

EDIT: 5 pages!¡!¡!

1. That error message happened because their are no more rooms after the last level.

2. I made it so that they could go through the teleporters because it might produce more level designs.

3. As for the speed, I think I will leave it the way it is.

This has nothing to do with my game, but another game I'm making. There is this object called "sand". And when the player walks into it, I want JUST THE SAND HE WALKED INTO, to be destroyed. I don't know how to do this, because all the sand will be destroyed!

When the player collides with the sand, do you set the action to apply to "Object: Sand"?
If yes, then

(Sorry, I just couldn't help it!)

Anyway, if you have, set it to "Other" instead. See if that works.
If you haven't... could you give me the object info for the player? I might be able to find the problem in it then.

Nevermind, Dlcs18 beat me to it. <_<

Oh the shame of people posting at the same time... oh the shame!

Other works! Thanks! BTW, everything is snapped to a 16 x 16 grid. Can you figure out what would be the best moving speed like you did for Stinky's Labyrinth?

1, 2, 4, 8 speed all work with 16x16... but I recommend 2.
Off topic: I am playing Poyo Pop

I chose 4. Thanks!

Now if I can only work out this thing that is bugging me...

I want the player to move one step, and if your still holding the button, move non-stop. And it takes half a second to check if your still holding the button.

Nobody wrote:In WA, they don't go through teleporters

Off topic, but it's actually a little more subtle than that in WA. A fully activated teleporter apparently blocks chompers, but a chomper can move onto a location where the teleporter is still activating, and then when the teleporter becomes fully activated the chomper will be teleported. Actually, it's probably a bug that active teleporters block chompers, since it looks like all other monsters can go through teleporters no problem.

You, jdl, you are an adult? You are games designer?

Who says that you have to be an adult to design games?

Finally got around to playing Stinky's Labyrinth on an XP computer. Very nice!

If you're planning to extend the game further, I have a suggestion: it'll be fun if the score can be tied to how long it takes for someone to complete the level.

I might do that. Thanks!

@Garirry - I'm 13 right now.

Now presenting a NEW game! The Adventures of Blocky! It's a platformer game that I'm starting to make. I have programmed the jumping already, so that's good.

I dunno when the demo will be out, so it might be awhile... Until then, enjoy this picture of the title screen!

It would be really nice if it comes with an editor.

the picture looks great! good luck on your second game,jdl.

Blast!10 · Post by **Blast!10** » Sun May 24, 2009 4:24 pm

I like the choice of colors there, you got a nice shade of blue

Also, I recommend a name change.

"____y" is overused as a main character's name.
"The Adventures of _____" is overused as a game's name.

Instead, I recommend a distortion or interesting change of the word "Block". e.g.

Bloc
Blok
Brock the Block
Blocc
Bloxx
Bloccc
Blawk
Lbock
Kcolb (backwards)
Blobock (in the B language)
Bloock
Blvck
more ideas here...

For a game title, I recommend unique game titles. e.g.

any of the ideas listed above
any of the ideas listed above with an "-ade" suffix (geddit? blockade )

Thanks Blasty! I'll be sure to try changing it. Also, I need help with something. There is a moving block in the game. I get on top of it and stay on top, but I don't move with it. AND I can't jump off of it!!! Plus, when I hit the left or right side of it, it stops moving and I get cought inside of it! I can only get out of it if I press the direction of which it's going at.

I've been trying to deal with that for AGES. Still haven't found a solution.

I'll try to, though... I don't think it will be that hard.

Ok.

Also... I'm planing on having a boss battle at the end of the game. I need to figure out how to make my player shoot bullets when I collect a gun power-up and set the boss to have HP... Don't worry, he'll be a easy boss.

Well that's no fun!

jdl · Post by **jdl** » Mon May 25, 2009 2:44 pm

I'll just need some fire and laser sprites, and a way to put text over his head when he fires his lasers saying "I'M A FIREIN MEH LASERS!"

jdl · Post by **jdl** » Mon May 25, 2009 4:10 pm

I figured out HP!!! Feel free to look at my coding.

Controls:

Up - Arrow key up
Down - Arrow key down
Right - Arrow key right
Left - Arrow key left
Restart - "R" key
Shoot - Spacebar

Try to hit the enemy (black and white square that does nothing...

) 15 times and see what happens. This only works with Game Maker 7.0.

Now I just need to figure out how to make the health bar appear...

Qloof234 · Post by **Qloof234** » Mon May 25, 2009 10:27 pm

This is just a theory (no code, I know nothing about GM at all), but wouldn't it be possible to either a) Set up a counter in the shape of a bar, or b) have separate blocks for each hit that are destroyed as the health bar goes down?

I don't know if they're actually possible, but that might work.

dlcs18 · Post by **dlcs18** » Mon May 25, 2009 10:42 pm

You can try use the health variable to apply to the boss and use the health D&D actions.

Dlcs18, can you use this video to try to help with it?

Nevermind I got the healthbar working PERFECTLY!!!!!!!!!!

For the name, why not:

A. ____ goes to buy some walnuts.

B. Please help _____.

C. Platforms, _____ style!

D. _____ becomes SUPER____

For the main character name, maybe:

A. Andy. (Hey, why not?)

B. Billocka

C. Block Blockson

D. Block M. E.
