[@Thulipa3]

BRO U ARE A FRICKING LEGEND!!! This is one of the best Game Maker tutorials I've ever seen! You have no idea how much this is helping me. ❤

[@devinmedina9611]

Hey, I have been watching your videos for quite a while. I have never gotten the chance to thank you for getting me into game development. I am only 14 and I was inspired by you to create games. I am currently working on a project that I have Been working at for two years and you tutorials have helped me a great amount. Thank you.

[@LegendaryWizardPS]

When will it be out?

[@randomgamesforu9355]

I like this I am also making a game

[@JonathasCosta]

Direct to the point. Congratulations, awesome video.

[@crystaluniverse9998]

Thank you, you might be why i get to stay in my dream school and make games for a living!!!

[@patrikabc123]

For all of you that doesnt get enemies to show up. Take notice of the order of the Layers in the "room editor". The instance layer needs to be first, followed by tiles and then path and background.

Great tutorial. thank you.

[@PangoriaFallstar]

So, one thing I kinda would rather do than set global variables. One big thing I like about having a spawner the way you have it set up is that the spawner can create the objects and pass in variables. So when you have the instance_create_depth(), if you set it as: enemySpawned = instance_create_depth(x,y,-1,oEnemy); you can then further down in that same if statement use: with enemySpawned { hp = 100; spd = 1; path_start(etc) } Now it means you have to have those things set as a default first before spawning. This may be more of a personal preference. I'm not a fan of having global variables. This would also allow you to have different spawners up at the same time, each on a different path and have them not interfere with each other. Since they aren't pooling their data from a global variable.

[@RealTutsGML]

Great tip! You can definitely do that as well

[@nykerc5127]

Hey your code helped me alot, i will try using it to build this tower defence guide, anyways if i play the game in this current state the spawnrate does not increase as it should...

Are a tutorial to make a game like plants vs zombies?

ARG, shoot me in the face Please No!, no it is not! over 20 years of learning C/C++, Learning anything new is hard YouKnow! He is lying to your face (Give me your money is what he is saying)

[@Evoleo]

@@playnthink1210 You know, you should take this online Unity course on Udemy.

[@johnroberts8088]

​@@Sagitta62 Ha ha, exactly how I feel, the problem it causes for me is with non technical coworkers, it's been drilled into them that "coding is easy", "coding is for everyone" and I always get "my 4 year old has started coding", then they look at me really confused as to why something might take a while as if you are a complete idiot. Another classic was someone said "I'm going to learn JavaScript next week, but in the meantime can build this as I don't have time", from someone with no programming experience at all. Anyone that has ever had to put a lot of effort into anything knows that very few things in life are "easy".

[@xrtitan3252]

Even though i was using Dnd (drag and drop) this was still very helpful. Thank you!

[@bonkser]

how do you do the 1 * room_speed with dnd

[@rentheredsquare]

@@bonkser right click on the event and click convert to GML

[@grapeshott]

+RealTutsGML How to slow down the speed of particles when there is a slow motion of every object? Room speed should remain same.

[@bivisbuns]

Bro holy shit this helped so much lol, i was trying to teach myself and for getting enemies to move along the path i had the corner pieces of the path covered by invisible objects that would switch directions of enemies that made contact with it

[@larryteslaspacexboringlawr739]

thank you for gamemaker video

[@tommybloomfield6690]

this is like the only tower defense video on gamemaker studio 2

[@eb2k445]

Where can I find a tutorial for a puyo puyo like game?

[@owencui5270]

So, I created the game, and everything is fine until about level 23-24. Then, all of the enemies start spawning really close together and it gets impossible to beat the level. After they get past, no more enemies spawn and you have to close the game. Do you know why? And also, if I want to create more levels, do I need to make a new path? Because if I change path 1 in the second room, it also changes the path for the first room.

[@owencui5270]

Actually, the enemies just stop spawning after I think room 24.

[@DOOMchaoslord]

for some reason the enemy object will not spawn into the field and instead, I just have a room... not sure of what I have done wrong.

[@charlieschaff4863]

2 big things one I made the mistake of doing spawn_amount < spawn_amount. When it should be. spawn_count < spawn_amount

[@andreasnara]

after my tower defeated all of my enemy, it did spawn again, but there's only one enemy for one wave, it's not spawning to 5, help idk what went wrong

[@user-jp1mo7mv5e]

thanks a lot 😉

[@SergeiVlassov]

Nice! But had to put Path1 in the line " path_start(Path1,global.spd,0,1); " to make it work

[@sakshamsahu9222]

Ummmm!!! My enemies just dont spawn :( IDK why Any HELP plz :3

[@DavidAdochiti]

easy fix, JUST DELETE THE PROJECT AND MAKE A NEW ONE

[@nathanconstable4633]

Is this doable on gms 1.4?

[@theycallmepapi6804]

possible to make an artilery type?

[@WolfgangBrozart]

I thought my right earphone had gone out but it was just the video

[@randomgamesforu9355]

But how do u do it in drag and drop

[@bonkser]

i just used tile offset to fix the tiles using some of the wrong tile

[@seanbrownlee9474]

Uhhhh I followed the steps in this tutorial but now my game won't open when I try to test it. What should I do?

[@bonkser]

does it say that 2 variables are mentioned once in syntax errors?

[@cheesefuzz1992]

Currently at the path_start(path0,global.spd,0,1); part and when he says to run the game it gives me an error on that line.

[@Dutchyuri]

i did everything he said it didnt work but when i made the p in path uppercase i all worked!

[@exoticbutr1690]

make sure you've put spaces (example: path_start(path1, global.spd, 0, 1))

[@rwoooosh3748]

i want to make a td game where the enemy is killed it turns into a weaker enemy like bloons td

[@alyxzthezera8752]

Make a instance self-transformation code instead of simply "deleting" it like some others do for when a instance "die". All the traits are inherited anyways, since you're changing the object into a weaker version, and that goes all the way until you hit the "red bloon" phase, where, then, it gets destroyed.

[@altbrain6002]

Does anyone know why the path_start(path0,global.spd,0,1); doesn't work?

[@dmnotes]

check capitalization on your 'path'. Make sure the code, and the path itself have the same case. Once I changed the path name to have a lowercase 'p', it worked. Should also work if you change the code to have a capital "P". Basically, as long as they match up you should be good to go.

[@Kleshtrem]

fantastic tutorial. just super frustrating that nothing spawns. I've checked the code several times with the video and nothing happens...

[@FranciscoacBatista]

i have the same problem did u figured it out ?

[@corliss3674]

Me to and now im starting to get really upset because this is the only tower Defense game tutorial for game maker studio 2 😭😭

[@corliss3674]

HEY! I just figured it out! im not to sure if this is your problem but it was mine so the first line of code in the enemy was path_start(path0,global.spd,0,1); but i made path1 and path0 so the path on my screen was path1 not path0 so i put in path_start(path1,global.spd,0,1); and then the enemys started to move!

[@kingofspades9720]

I have a few fixes, First, did you add your sprite to your enemy object Next is your instances behind your tileset in the room

[@Cardifyz]

room_speed is deprecated you now have to use "spawn_rate = 1 * game_get_speed(gamespeed_fps);"

[@zamu6713]

Or just type 30, means one second in step...

[@Cardifyz]

That's hard coding if you change the game speed at anytime then you would need to change that as well. I'm just trying to be helpful :D

Hey dude, i don't have time to watch the whole video, but i've been wondering for ages, how much more work would it be to make a copy of this game, it's called "Vector TD". Its the same idea as what you've apparently made here but alot more in depth. How would i add in the cool graphics from this one, and how would i program different guns? Here's the game, can you give me some tips of if it's possible, and what i'd need to do it, such as graphics and the ability to make 4 different colored gun types? www.arcadeboss.com/game-175-9-vector-td.html
