Need help with GML? Beginners look here!

Trying to start out with GameMaker: Studio? I can help you with code related questions, just add me! I will awnser your questions when I can, just sent messages at any moment (even if I am offline!)!

I can help with the basics of code, explaining functions, giving general coding advice and tips on how to optimise games.

Please note that I am not experienced in everything GameMaker related, I for one am not good at shaders or networking.

If you have had more then a year of GML knowledge then chances are high that I wont be able to assist you :'(.

You sent me the wrong file, you need to export your project first (to a .gmz) and upload that. what you sent me is a .gmx (project controller file I think) without the project itself (sprites, objects, scripts, etc).

Oh sorry : https://mega.nz/#!S8IVzSoT!e89IckJcKn0q5TBpQmhnIFTfJv2Yhl0jRj5IOejBgJ0

Put this at the beginning of the "scr_dash_state" script,

// Get direction
var dir = point_direction(0, 0, xaxis, yaxis);

you weren't getting the direction but you were searching for it :P

I'll take a look when I can, I am really busy atm :(. Also I didn't get a notification that's why I replied so late.

Do you know an efficient way to make blocks you can't see black in my procedural generated game? (2D block based) I have used simple place meeting checks but they are too intensive for the amount of objects I have.

I've never tried something like this but I think I read something about exactly this, I'll search for it and update you when/if I find it.

Just so you know, it was in one of nocturne's dev blog posts on the YOYO games website, I used to read them and I remember him having dealt with something like this for his lighting system and he mentioned a name of a tile based system that does what you want but I forgot it. So still searching :).
