Long shot that you will answer. But how do I make it so the weight doesn't smoothly go from 0 - 1. Say I want it to stay 0 until half way up and then lerp from 0 - 1. For clairity I want the wind to only affect the top half. Really good tutorial and good intro to shaders, thanks in advance

Told me what I needed to know: it's similar enough to Unity that I can do it for others without much issue. Thanks.

I know this video was from quite a while ago, I've followed up to 21 minutes but when I went to test and see the json file in my browser GameMaker is giving an error with the statement at 7:34 "var object = instance.object_index;" saying "Variable <unknown_object>.object_index(14, -2147483648) cannot be resolved. at gml_GlobalScript_scr_instance_get_save_map (line 6) - var object = instance.object_index;". I'm uncertain what may be wrong this far in, and I'm fairly new to GameMaker. Perhaps something has changed since the making of the video? Either way, I appreciate the tutorial because I've learned a lot about how saving with json works this far. Just not knowledgeable enough to figure this problem out yet!

that really helped me a lot, thank you sir 😎

it might be a new problem but it just wont work, you fall threw that blocks either way, I tried a newer method and it worked immediately, everything else worked tho, maybe it was mb

Has anyone found a way to do this same effect with moving lights?

My last time using Gamemaker was Studio 1.0 back in 2014. Crazy seeing how much more refined the engine is getting.

Thanks for this guide, at least it's a good start to understanding vertex shaders. I would also like to know how I can change the rotation of the image in real time with shaders, and also how I can change the position of individual vertices so that I can make a tentacle that moves based on the rotation of an octopus's head. A tutorial on Gamemaker how to edit a mesh in real time and doing math inside the shader, seems taboo on the internet!

THANK YOU How would I make the pool cue go closer to the ball when you release the left mouse button, so it looks like it's actually hitting the ball?

Hey! Very nice tutorial. I have one question. Why using shader for bending? If I got how vertices work right, you can modify vertices' coordinates to make grass bend.

9 years of a video and here i use it for my game. :)

Amazing video, really helped me! I was just wondering how the collision test could be adapted to stop the player moving through certain objects too? I know this may be obvious, but I've just started with gamemaker and any help would be really appreciated!

How do I do an "if variable" function with multiple values? if variable: "name" is equal to "1,3,4,7,19, or 35"

have You got an example of it with the scripts that You didn't show? :)

Fantastic Tutorial, I have it all up and running perfectly and smoothly in my initial room, but once I transition to the next room it no longer detects the tile layer, and the collisions stop working, do you know of any way to fix this? It is not a naming issue as all the tile sets and tile layers are named exactly the same as the previous room. If anyone has any ideas please let me know! Thanks again :)

Why does the car decelerate as it corners? Can we nullify the lateral velocity whilst keeping the speed in any way?

on loading the json file on the newest game maker it gives my this error ############################################################################################ ERROR in action number 1 of <Unknown Event> for object O_load: ds_list_size argument 1 incorrect type (undefined) expecting a Number (YYGI32) at gml_Script_load_instances (line 12) - for(var i = 0; i < ds_list_size(list); i++) { ############################################################################################ gml_Script_load_instances (line 12) gml_Object_O_load_Gesture_0 (line 7) - load_instances(json);

I am so confused on all these videos I watch for GMS2 everyone says it works perfectly but everytime I emulate these videos I get bugs that won't let me do anything. Is there something outside what the video describes that I need to do to prep for these videos? I am brand new just trying to get a few specifics done for me game it seems like D&D really is the only method that works for me as every code I try inputting I apparently do wrong somehow.

This is gold, thank you so much

does it work if you leave the game alltogether and come back

For some reason, the bboxes cause the game to not load for me. Weird.

Hi, I updated gamemaker and this doesn't work properly anymore. Now when the player and the camera moves, all sLights also move.

Followed your code to the letter and am getting this error: Variable <unknown_object>.state(100003, -2147483648) not set before reading it. at gml_GlobalScript_Move (line 5) - if (state == states.idle) { What am I doing wrong here?

this is a pretty flawed tutorial. Everything you did is inside a restricted room with a bog standard viewport following the player. No matter how big you make it it's still not infinite. So makes the whole point of chunks pointless.

does anyone know how to replace the function instance_get_save_map()? the video is 5 years old now and today that function dosent exists anymore.

For those having trouble with the "jump" glitch on the first drag, etc, or wanting the ability to zoom, put these on your camera object: Create: camera = view_camera[0]; zoom_level = 1; default_zoom_width = camera_get_view_width(camera); default_zoom_height = camera_get_view_height(camera); drag_room_x = 0; drag_room_y = 0; Global drag start: drag_room_x = event_data[? "posX"]; drag_room_y = event_data[? "posY"]; Global dragging: ratio = camera_get_view_width(camera) / window_get_width(); var real_mouse_x = event_data[? "rawposX"] * ratio; var real_mouse_y = event_data[? "rawposY"] * ratio; var _x = drag_room_x - real_mouse_x; var _y = drag_room_y - real_mouse_y; //_x = clamp(_x, 0, 400); optional //_y = clamp(_y, 0, 400); camera_set_view_pos(camera, _x, _y); Step: zoom_level = clamp(zoom_level + (((mouse_wheel_down() - mouse_wheel_up())) * 0.1), 0.5, 2); var view_w = camera_get_view_width(camera); var view_h = camera_get_view_height(camera); var rate = 0.2; var new_w = lerp(view_w, zoom_level * default_zoom_width, rate); var new_h = lerp(view_h, zoom_level * default_zoom_height, rate); camera_set_view_size(view_camera[0], new_w, new_h); --- The magic fix here is the "ratio" bit in Global dragging. Basically, we use the ratio to make "posX" and "rawposX" coordinates align to the same spot on the screen. I'm pretty new to Gamemaker and haven't experimented with this very much, but it works in my little demo. Let me know if you guys figure out something better.

This tutorial helped me a lot thanks

Sorry for commenting here on this incredible old video, but I'm having the stuttering issue a couple people have mentioned in the comments, only instead of happening at every tile, it seems to be happening every frame. I tried making a post on the GMC forum about this, but they don't make posts visible until moderators accept them. Any idea as to what this could be? If need be I can show the code.

I'm watching it exactly 7 years after it was recorded. Thanks

uncomplit

Just came across an old vid of yours and wondered - what you up to? see no upload since this.. Hope all good !

hey GM Wolf please comment I really love your youtube vids and I just made this on gml so I can have some fun with my bros 😍 😍 😍 😍 please comment 😍 😍 😍 😍

I was looking for a "code" and "dynamic" way to do that, not just a "right click and rename" solution >.> ...

I know this is almost a 5 year old video now, but I also followed this guide exactly as shown. It would instantly crash all the time stating that Variable <unknown_object>.state(100003, -2147483648) not set before reading it. at gml_GlobalScript_move (line 4) - if (state == states.idle) Neither me or my professor could figure out why it's happening, but the solution was to put the move script directly in the key down. Any idea why? Thanks for the video regardless, lots of great info!

please make a tutorial on how to zoom and do this

this only works when my camera is 1920 x 1080 I want it to be smaller however any fixes? edit: i fixed this by dividing the rawpos values by 4 because I wanted my camera to be 4 times smaller

How do I use gml_pragma now that GMS2 uses the function keyword, instead of scripts acting as one big function? I tried putting this in a script: gml_pragma("global", "functionName()") ...but nothing happened

Hi , just wanted to know , how to add the sprint functionality , i change the walk_anim_length when sprint key is pressed , the player move fast but it make some jerk like movement. can you help me on this . thankyou

what you're talking about is realy similar to how they would make the game objects at least it sounds like it

Very good video, I would love to test how this effect works, but copying code from 40 minutes of video is really lazy. Too bad the link is down. Still I think I will make the effort as it will be worth it. Thank you very much for these kinds of tutorials

I'm using this line of code to turn but the car only turns right: ((gamepad_axis_value(4, gp_axislh) > 0.3) - (gamepad_axis_value(4, gp_axislh) < -0.3)) * 5 Can't figure why :(

Thank for the explanation. I tried to replicate the code in GMS2 but I'm getting a compile error and I don't understand why

You forgot mentioned different ratios between window with and camera with it flick at beginning of dragg but thaks save me lot of troubles :D

in gm8 you could use sprites / objects as tiles and hold shift to duplicate them, is that not a thing anymore? kinda annoying to drag every single piece in a room

Can you share the project? I try doing it on my computer but it throws me error everytime

This is cool and all but is there a way to initialize variables from instance_create_depth? In the older versions of GMS, namely 1.4, you could just do this: m = instance_create(x,y,myObj) m.var1 = 24; m.var2 = false; In GMS2, you can do the same thing but, if you set default values for the created object instance, it will take the default values instead of the ones specified in instance_create_depth. Now, even in the older version of GameMaker, namely, 8.1 and below, you could check to see if a variable is initialized and else set a default value, this check also exists in GMS2 called "variable_instance_exists." It has 2 parameters (id, "var") It'll output a boolean if "var" exists. I tried it, but it always seemed to initialize from the object not from instance_create_depth. Say, I have this script: function shoot() { shot = instance_create_depth(x,y,objShot); shot.var1 = 20 shot.var2 = true } And on the create event of the object: if !variable_instance_exists(id,"var1") var1 = 5 if !variable_instance_exists(id,"var2") var2 = false When shoot() is executed, the defaults set on the create event, not the bit from the script. Am I doing something wrong? Am I using the wrong functions? Methods? Am I stuck in the older ways of doing something like this?

I cannot seem to manage to get this right, the movement always stutters unless I set walk_anim_length to be 1 second or slower.

Thanks for the great tutorial. How does this system work when game is a complex rpg, with room changing?

Thanks GM Wolf.. this is the best tile collision system ever. Deadly Accurate !

Been looking for a good muliply shader for a while now.
