Ok :P
But remember, larger projects would probably require more than what GM offers.
For instance, I was thinking about making an RPG, with evolutions and many kinds of abilities. Thing is, I have -no- idea how to make an inventory and save system :s

For my game I am using an object based inventory, for saving you want to look up how to save using a .ini file in gamemaker, it is what I currently use although I am thinking about switching to .JSON (which you can google, too).

.JSON? I don't think INI would cut it, but, indeed, JSON would probably do the trick. After all, it IS what Minecraft uses...
I might look into it later on.

Ah, I see.
I can help with -that- itself, as I have a faint sample of knowledge on those.

I think I mostly get the idea and most of the syntax with GM:S it's just understanding where and how to apply them so they are efficient. The game was made on a whim and if an actual programmer saw the code and how unorganised it was, they would probably faint. For any future projects I will write my ideas down and organise my thoughts more clearly before I begin haha

Ah, this can turn into something very, very good...
Did you use global variables?
If you didn't, they can be used for so many things...
For instance: Custom HP bars

As I posted in the other introduction forum I am fairly new. I think I only have 1 global variable in use but I can not for the life of me remember what it is. When my PC, which is what I use for programming, is back on line I will be able to refer to it. But for now the game is entirely all too simple.

I've been trying to learn C++, but the Redistributable hates me and won't install correctly </3

Cant be assed to learn any other language to be honest. With being a full time dad and having a full time job, my time and resources are extremely limited. Best of luck to you with that though!

Thanks :)

Thanks! o/ I also failed to mention that I have been attempting to learn the GM program and how to use it for only a couple of months now

I am in between learning how to do pixel art and use GameMaker for game development. I have a full version of GM after an impulse moment I had and tossed cash at YoYo. I have only fully(subjective term) developed one game that is currently on the workshop for GM. I am always looking for info and tips on how to better myself in both areas of development so if you have any questions or C&C for me I am always open!

Welcome o/

My character is healing herself every room;
The code is as follows:

spd=4
spd_jump=-9
jumping=0
image_speed=0.30
shot=0
shottime=0
right=0
left=0
crouching=0
immortal=0

global.MPMax=100
global.MP=50

global.HPMax=100
global.HP=100

Being in "Create" event, it's expected for her to reset, but how can I do as following:
I'm trying to get her to keep the variables when changing rooms, but I don't know any efficient ways to do so. Can anyone help?

Dev. Started making games this week. I'm getting the hang of it. ;)

All I can say is: Learn to read the code, it's just like learning a new language :)

On-topic, I'm an amateur dev, also getting the hang of things and struggling on almost everything :P
