Bouncing Ball Tutorial for GameMaker Studio 2

[@robotsturm6488]

I love you, from clickteam to game maker

[@almightyzentaco]

Thank you. I hope you are fulfilling all of your game dev dreams

[@fahren1884]

Shaun is a great tutor, still great that someone like you does an updated version of it, thank you!

[@Sagitta62]

Very useful tutorial 👍 what I did I use the (copy/paste) code segment and change the object wall to object ball now the balls bounce off the walls and each other // collision if(place_meeting(x+xspd, y, oWall)) { while() … xspd *= -bouncedecay; } … (other part of the code) but what I having problem with is to make that code segment into a collision script so I can reuse it

[@armyofonev8]

you sir have earned a star of approval

[@TechBoxNorth]

Nice video! I had completely forgotten how fast performance game made with GMS2 have compared to games made with the other two engines I have (Construct 3 and CF2.5).

[@MarcadetFPS]

So well explained and clear, THANK YOU!

[@elirichardson8251]

Awesome video, expertly presented. Thank you!

[@fierorecensione5828]

Hello there very nice video! Thank you a lot! Is there any chance so create a logic where the ball is moved by the kick of objPlayer? Thank you!

[@DoubleDoubleD]

Wow your channel seems interesting. Appreciate your efforts on the Tuts and keep it up !

[@emmanuelroux3845]

Tell me if I'm wrong, but in reality the bounce never stops. Indeed, yspd will tend towards 0 without ever reaching it. For example, if yspd = 0.01, yspd*0.8 = 0.008 and so on. So, in my code, I had to add an if condition to set yspd to 0. What do you think about this?

[@almightyzentaco]

Yspd will always change, yes. But values below 1 pixel of movement dont translate visually whatsoever.

[@emmanuelroux3845]

Maybe because I work in low resolution (240x320), the movement remains visible! I can see a slight vibration.

[@rogerosullivan9881]

Code you paste the code here please. I'm having the same issue.

[@SwitchedOn]

Have you got that bit of code please Emmanuel as I've having that gravity jiggle too! Thanks.

[@aaronmaldonado6562]

Creation Event: xspd = 0; yspd = 0; grav = 0.6; bouncedecay = 0.66; rot_angle = random(360); Step Event: if place_meeting(x + xspd, y, obj_ball) xspd *= -bouncedecay; if place_meeting(x, y + yspd, obj_ball) yspd *= -bouncedecay; if place_meeting(x + xspd, y, obj_wall) { while not place_meeting(x + sign(xspd), y, obj_wall) { x += sign(xspd); } //bounce xspd *= -bouncedecay; } else { x += xspd; } if place_meeting(x, y + yspd, obj_wall) { while not place_meeting(x, y + sign(yspd), obj_wall) { y += sign(yspd); } yspd *= -bouncedecay; } else { y += yspd; } if mouse_check_button(mb_left) { // pull effect var dir_x = (mouse_x - x) / 100; var dir_y = (mouse_y - y) / 100; xspd += dir_x; yspd += dir_y; } if place_meeting(x, y + 1, obj_wall) { xspd *= 0.99; } rot_angle -= (xspd / 2); yspd += grav; Draw Event: draw_sprite_ext(sprite_index, 0, x, y, image_xscale, image_yscale, rot_angle, c_white, 1);

My bloody hell mate, you are a legend!

[@almightyzentaco]

I like to think so.

[@TaughtSimply]

This is a fantastic tutorial, I was hoping you could update it so the balls will bounce off each other?

[@bromaster6643]

Can you do more Psuedo-3D for Clickteam Fusion?

[@tototation]

Does it work with slopes ?

[@EnderPlayed-lp9ko]

okay nice but how to let it bounce on a diagonal wall?

[@LoboTCG]

Another great Video Zen! You are the #1 resource for Click Team fusion tutorials! I'm currently working on a platformer, and I'm trying to do Mega Man type scrolling, where the camera is locked during boss fights, but smooth during platforming. But I can't quite get it to go smoothly. Would you happen to have any tips or pointers? I'm using a variation of your Smooth Scrolling Tutorial, but changing the target with a variable. Thanks for all that you do.

[@SgT0dessa]

Is there any way to stop the shaking the object does once it comes to a rest on the ground? I thought it would be the same as bleeding the x velocity but it appears to be gravity affecting it..

[@BugbeeYT]

very helpful, i smashed like

[@matthewwoosley8403]

Hi zentaco. Really big fan your tutorials. Was wondering if you have any videos on making a mobile game with clickteam fusion? By putting joysticks, exporting, and things of that nature.

[@TomFowkes]

this helped a lot! but i want the balls to fly from my character towards my mouse pointer do you know of a way to do this? thanks

[@almightyzentaco]

Of course. You could do this a lot of ways. One way would be something like this: direction = point_direction(x, y, mouse_x, mouse_y); x += lengthdir_x(4,direction); y += lengthdir_y(4,direction)

[@TomFowkes]

@@almightyzentaco thanks that works great!

[@andrevanderleeuw8070]

Will there be another game jam this year?

[@bovery23]

how would you constantly make it bounce without decay?

[@EnderPlayed-lp9ko]

just turn decay to 1

[@ksioncdesign7075]

please more GM tutorials

[@badcat8162]

How can I make balls that appears and disappears?

[@6ywho]

Good, now in clickteam

[@sebaVRarg]

can collide each other?

[@LeftyyGD]

Can you make Icy Tower in Clickteam Fusion?

[@cheesecakejojo]

I wrote the exact code you wrote but my obj_ball just falls through obj_wall with no collision. Why is this happening?

[@cheesecakejojo]

Nvm I just figured it out: Under //collide on y-axis, yspd*=-bouncedecay; was actually xspd*=-bouncedecay in my code. So I changed it to yspd.

[@icyloves272]

how to make over than 1000 objects?

[@randominternetuser5123]

hey zentaco, which game engine is better? clickteam fusion or gms studio 2?

[@almightyzentaco]

It depends on your level of experience. Gms2 is more powerful out of the box and I recommend all intermediate users try it out. Fusion is best for getting your feet wet in the coding scene.

[@randominternetuser5123]

@@almightyzentaco thank you for the quick reply...im experienced with both engines which made me super confused of which to use :)

[@jgee7605]

How do you IOS export?

[@jgee7605]

With ctf 2.5

[@prorambler8605]

having a problem where at low enough speeds the ball clips into and slowly falls through the ground until the game crashes when its collision box is below the wall. Fixed on my own! for those who encounter this: make sure the object's position updates after the collision checks

[@ssmot113]

how? for me it does not stop bouncing

[@prorambler8605]

@@ssmot113 if you follow this tutorial it's not supposed to stop, only get slower

[@ssmot113]

@@prorambler8605 yes, in the end it does not slow down beyond a certain speed
