I decompiled your game and found a missing comma in it! *shot*

Ergh. After some changes, you still can't move despite the fact that you should be able to. whywhywhy

You have the "relative" box checked in the "if there's a solid collision at relative position (0,1)" thingies in the step event, right?

Can you post the updated pseudo-code?

Posted: **Wed Nov 09, 2011 11:15 pm**

Code: Select all

 Step Event:
if relative position (0,-4) is collision free for Only solid objects
      set the gravity to 4 in direction 270
else
      set the gravity to 0 in direction 270
if vspeed is larger than 10
      set the vertical speed to 10

Collision Event with object Metal:
set the gravity to 0 in direction 270

Key Press Event for <Left> Key:
if relative position (-1,0) is collision free for Only solid objects
      jump relative to position (-4,0)

Key Press Event for <Right> Key:
if relative position (1,0) is collision free for Only solid objects
      jump relative to position (4,0)

Looking good, except for two problems.

Code: Select all

 Step Event:
if relative position (0,-4) is collision free for Only solid objects

It should be relative position (0,4), not (0,-4). Negative in the y-coordinates is upwards in Game Maker.

Code: Select all

Collision Event with object Metal:
set the gravity to 0 in direction 270

You shouldn't need to use gravity in the collision events. For collisions with walls and stuff, use this:

Code: Select all

move in direction direction at most 16 till a contact with solid objects 
start moving in directions 000010000 (which is the box thingy in the middle) with speed set to 0

I'd be happy to just take the .gmk file for you and fix it, but I can't access my computer right now because I'm backing up all of my stuff (I'm using my mom's computer right now).

Since there's barely anything in the GMK as of now I decided to post it freely.

IMMEDIATE PROBLEM
DON'T use the "Press" events. Use the normal ones.

Posted: **Fri Nov 11, 2011 2:17 am**

Fixed it. It was a lot of fun.

Posted: **Fri Nov 11, 2011 2:19 am**

Eh, I still can't move while on the ground...?

EDIT: Oh, you didn't actually fix it. Now that I did... I still can't move. Huh.

Posted: **Fri Nov 11, 2011 2:26 am**

Here's your de-bugified thingy.

If you want him to jump lower or fall faster, experiment with different values of gravity and vertical speed in the step and spacebar events respectively.

Yes I did. I even tested it.
Edit: I actually forgot to save.

In that case maybe you uploaded the wrong file.

DP.

Erm, how do I put the text engine from the ET5 topic in and how do I control what it says?

Put all of the code and sprites from the engine into your game.

Edit the code that's in the create event.

I don't understand. Why doesn't my headshot work???

Posted: **Sun Nov 20, 2011 4:15 am**

oh nevermind my game maker got closed without saving stuff so now the text engine and dialog is gone so i'll have to bring it all back before i fix the problem

Be more specific. Is the sprite you're using 32x32?

Posted: **Sun Nov 20, 2011 4:27 am**

Erm, false alarm. The stuff didn't get deleted. Anyways, I changed it to 32x32 from 32x33 and it still doesn't work.

Posted: **Sun Nov 20, 2011 4:33 am**

It's supposed to be 32x32.

And what do you mean by "it doesn't work"?

Posted: **Sun Nov 20, 2011 4:58 am**

ERROR in
action number 1
of Create Event
for object obj_type:

Error in code at line 32:
img[1] = spr_lorgo
^
at position 2: Unknown variable img or array index out of bounds

Posted: **Sun Nov 20, 2011 6:52 am**

The first index should be 0, not 1. It should be like this:

str[0] = "BLAH BLAH BLAH"
str[1] = "BLAH BLAH BLAH
str[2] = "BLAH BLAH BLAH*"

img[0] = spr_bob
img[1] = spr_joe
img[2] = spr_alex

name[0] = "Bob"
name[1] = "Joe"
name[2] = "Alex"

Also, make sure you actually have a sprite named "spr_lorgo" (without the quotes).

Posted: **Sun Nov 20, 2011 7:00 am**

It is like that, only the other character has no headshot.

Posted: **Sun Nov 20, 2011 7:06 am**

You need to have all of the arrays defined and the headshot sprites need to exist, otherwise it will get an error.

If this means anything, I'm using 34x34 or something like that for Circuit and it looks fine.
I knew it was intended to be 32x32 when I did that, though.

Unless you look closely and realize that it's 2 pixels too big.

Posted: **Sun Nov 20, 2011 8:46 pm**

Now none of the variables can be found. I added an even that makes them, but the text and box aren't getting displayed.
