Voidy - New GM Game whose first demo will be out soon-ish!

[MyNameIsKooky]

I don't see any problems. It should work.

Maybe it's because you set the mouse to invisible in the Global Game Settings (if you actually did do that)?

[StinkerSquad01]

I tried it with cursor visible and invisible. Voidy seems a bit off-center in the radius, is it possible to fix it or would that be annoying?

[MyNameIsKooky]

It shouldn't be hard to fix.

What are the dimensions of the sprites of Voidy and the orbs?

[StinkerSquad01]

Voidy: 22 by 22
Orbs: 6 by 6

[MyNameIsKooky]

Resize the canvas of the orb sprite so that it is also 22x22.

[StinkerSquad01]

Worked, thanks! The effect I gave Voidy looks really nice, with little fade in & out orbs like your Wisps and orbs gravitating towards Voidy!

EDIT: This is strange. I made a test on the Switch-belts so they are destroyed when clicked, and that works!
EDIT: This is REALLY strange! The transformation works fine with the switchbelts going right, but not left!

[StinkerSquad01]

I decided to make it so you right click on left-going belts to change them to right, and vice versa.

Aren't you supposed to use c_yellow ?

[DEEMAN223344]

Ok. EDIT: It worked, Thanks BWF!

[StinkerSquad01]

Aren't you supposed to be talking about this somewhere else?
(sorry couldn't help it)

[MyNameIsKooky]

Aren't you supposed to use c_yellow ?

col_red worked for my lasers, but whatever.

EDIT: Never mind, I checked, and it was indeed c_red. Oops.

[boywhoflies]

Ok. EDIT: It worked, Thanks BWF!

YES! I did something useful!

@SS01:Yeah, I think so.

@SS01:Yeah, I think so.

Hey BWF, since I'm constantly testing your games, you can test this once I get decent progress, if you want. MNIK, you can too if you wish since you are the one who's mainly helping me.

[boywhoflies]

IOU, so I will. Plus this sounds realy fun. *shot*

It died down so don't eat me

[StinkerSquad01]

Hey MNIK, is it possible for your line code to work for Voidy and the cursor power? I tried to make it work but it said I needed pro.

Anyway, I am planning to use music by Bit Shifter, the artist of some the songs in BIT.TRIP BEAT and FLUX! I found the albums online and they are free to use.

[StinkerSquad01]

DP

OH, YES! I found 'Left', Minusbaby's album containing some music that got used in BIT.TRIP FATE!
I found Nullsleep's album containing some trax from BIT.TRIP VOID aswell!

I found 8-bit Christmas songs! maybe I can add icey levels or something!

Having a problem, I want it so my little room operator checks to see if Voidy is dead, if he is, then it will restart the room. When I test, the room keeps restarting.

Code: Select all

Information about object: obj_roommaster
Sprite: 
Solid: false
Visible: true
Depth: 0
Persistent: false
Parent: 
Mask: 

Step Event:

if score is smaller than 1
      COMMENT: test lives
If lives are smaller than 1
      play sound snd_voidydeath; looping: false
sleep 1000 milliseconds; redrawing the screen: true
restart the current room with transition effect Blend
set the score to 0
Other Event: Room Start:

set the number of lives to 3
Draw Event:

draw the lives at (view_xview+4,view_yview+24) with sprite sprite19
at position (view_xview+4,view_yview+4) draw text: Life:
at position (view_xview+4,view_yview+50) draw the value of score with caption Vexes:

[MyNameIsKooky]

Nah, I'd rather not test. Thanks anyways.

Hey MNIK, is it possible for your line code to work for Voidy and the cursor power? I tried to make it work but it said I needed pro.

Try this:

Code: Select all

draw_line(x+11,y+11,mouse_x,mouse_y)
draw_sprite(Voidy,0,x,y)

Having a problem, I want it so my little room operator checks to see if Voidy is dead, if he is, then it will restart the room. When I test, the room keeps restarting.

Note that checks like lives checks will only perform the very next action if they're true. Make sure you put all of the actions after the lives check into a block by using the arrows found under "other" in the "control" tab. That way, all of the actions after the lives check are treated as one action.

[StinkerSquad01]

Thanks! Is it possible to change color or no?

[MyNameIsKooky]

Thanks! Is it possible to change color or no?

It is possible, but only if you have Pro.

[StinkerSquad01]

Meh. Oh well, I got some music on here, its nice.

[StinkerSquad01]

Wait a sec..are alarms universal, like if I said Set alarm to 15 and then I later had another object do the same it would reset Alarm 1's value for both to 15, or is it a separate set of alarms for every object?

[MyNameIsKooky]

There's a separate set of alarms for each object.

[StinkerSquad01]

DARN. I started going up alarms as if the were universal, but that info helps!

[StinkerSquad01]

I thought it would be easier to use score as currency, just renamed, but I don't want it to say Score: on the game window! I disabled window captions, but that doesn't help!

[MyNameIsKooky]

Don't use score. Use a global variable instead. Global variables are like normal variables, except their value remains carries over to other rooms. For example:

global.money

Just use that and have the variable's value be drawn somewhere on the screen. That way, you won't have a caption from using score.

[StinkerSquad01]

I am still a bit confuzzled, I tried global.money but it errored saying it didn't know the variable money. Do I use it in a piece of code?

Code: Select all

[MyNameIsKooky]

Make sure that you set global.money to 0 somewhere, like in the Game Start event of the player object.

[StinkerSquad01]

It worked, thank you! (man, I really should be getting the stuff down by now! )
I think I can finally start creating levels!
