*Click click*

[sanabria601]

ok i have a problem wen i punch and move at the same time my charecter just keeps going in the direction i was moving in until i move again can you help me with that in any way? anyone?

[AznKei1]

Does the gamemaker have a feature where the characters can do special moves via specific motions like quarter circle forward attack (hadoken) from Street fighter?

[TheBucketTv]

@AznKei1 You might need to use code to do them but yes it can!!!

[AznKei1]

@TheBucketTv That's what I thought too. But, I guess it was more complicated to do on Gamemaker than on a pc fighting engine such as M.U.G.E.N. Oh well, thanks for the reply. :)

[ChrisExcomix]

check my channel out I make animations and comics.

[thenewalfmonster68]

my player eyes are coming off and coming back i need hlep

[TheRealAsen]

@thenewalfmonster68 oh god wut

[XxTOTALROCKSTARxX]

Okay I Fixed Problem But Now He Punches In 1 Direction And Turns Back Around.

What Do I Do?

[XxTOTALROCKSTARxX]

I DID WAT U DID! I DIDNT WORK! DO WE HAVE TO MAKE TWO SPRITES?!

PLZ REPLY!

[brutaka359]

where is your health video?

[XxTOTALROCKSTARxX]

the first part worked but when i pressed q(my attack button) nothing happens and i cant maove

[EvidLekan]

square punch XD

[TheVideoGamer104]

Dude, you freakin rock!!! I just learned how to use Pathes! Thanks man :D

[protosscch]

worse tutorial game maker i ever saw! wasting my time watching this and i hate that clicking sound and he is acting like a expert, come on!!

[XxTOTALROCKSTARxX]

@protosscch what ever, he rocks at this your just jealous

[TheAnhduy]

thanks

my game is so cool caus you

[MrPugman2]

i was hoping it would show how to make an enemy punch :(

[Jimppi6]

i hate those clicking noises :<

[rasslytam1]

How can you make the character punch without changing object, just sprite and still change back to the previous sprite when the animation ends?

[MAJStudios1]

How do you make the jumping pic show when jumping?

[evar136]

It is so funny while the player fall to the quicksand

[0987654a5]

hey ive used one of your tutorials (i dont remember wich one) and it was about making gravity and stuff. now i pile on certain blocks i cant jump anymore

could you tell me what to do or not do ? please

[eduardosing]

super maria :D add a song

[XBeatstyleshufX]

Really sick of looking at this fucked comments hey theres lots of tutorials that are alot simpler than this and you are saying the is crap?, seriously it is great and @mrGamemaker2000 if you want to add that into your game look up on how to use health? this isnt health its just showing you how to create the base of a fighting game D:

[InternetReviewer]

How do I do the paths

[AnMitProductions]

@InternetReviewer Under the "Sprites" folder there are some more folders, right click the "Paths" one and click "Create Path"

[InternetReviewer]

@AnMitProductions I have Game Maker 8.0 and I cannot find it. :(

[MrDa11]

@InternetReviewer Go to "File" in the top left corner,

check if advanced mode is on.

If it is this is weird,

if not its because you can only create paths in advanced mode.

I hope this answered your question.

[TheAchmed123321]

very nice

[narutokhinuyasha]

Thanks man!

I was adding a fighting mini-game to my stealth game and I really needed this! Thanks for this and your line of sight tutorial!

[nhmllr725]

Is there a way to make it so ONLY the fist hurts the enemy?

[ghrayche3]

Can u make the enemy die in more than one punch?

[nhmllr725]

@ghrayche3 Yeah, there are a few ways. You can make a variable, let's call it health (which you would put in a create event) like this: health=3 Then under a collision with the punching object, say: health-=1 and in a step event say: if health<1 {destroy_instance} (or instance_destroy, I forget)

[j5sully2012]

dang all that work just for one punch and died

[99007046]

how do you make the punch animation slower?

[Sasuke19969696]

Thanks it rrealy helped me out...This is the best tut ever...Thnx...do you know how to publish my game???

[Sasuke19969696]

Thanks dude you are awsome...It rreally helped me out...anyway do you know how to publish my game????

[sulianaw]

D: so complicated. and all u done was fighting skills (people,walking) and death

[LiWo02]

GameMaker is a piece of $hit.

Burn it to a CD and piss it off!

[norisak]

@LiWo02 You are a piece of $hit.

[aemneko]

@LiWo02 you clearly under estimate it's power. learn how to use it. i'm EXTREAMLY bad at the program, but i love it because of the things you can do with it. i just need to learn, and you should too.

[LiWo02]

@aemneko

Man, i don't need to learn this. i develop in C# and PHP. This is for idiots only.

[aemneko]

@LiWo02 2 things. 1, we're not experts like you, which is why we use this program. it's easy (or easier then most programs) to use, and it doesn't make us idiots just cause we can't make a highly advance game. 2, if you don't need to learn this, why are you looking this up?

[jmlport98]

@LiWo02 than why did you watch it :O

[fanoultimatev3]

@LiWo02 hurr

[Lovingirl1234]

what did you press during the path thingy

[Lovingirl1234]

thanks, this is a simple fighting game and i think it is better if the red guy can fight too :) but i ♥ this

[brianjuegos]

2:43 lol xD xD xD

[SamOwnsAll100]

those are probably the collest looking people i have ever seen

[MrGamemaker2000]

this is stupid, i wanna make games like mortal combat or street fighter. one punch and game over?! nice fighting game

[vlamer12]

@MrGamemaker2000 you can't make games like that if you are new what you probaly are if you need to watch this vid

[57painpillz]

all you have to do is make a script for obj_control under game start an put: global.ehp=10 //or what ever you want then make a script for obj_player _punch or what you call it, put under you attack button (like space or what ever) put: //damage global.ehp -= 1 //or what you want them make a (check variable) under step for the enemy an put: variable: global.ehp value: 1 operation: smaller then then put in you destroy and you done then you have to punch the amount of time you want to to kill

[Idiotsinspace]

@MrGamemaker2000 If you knew anything about game maker or GML, you could fix that issue.

[AmericanIdiotWannabe]

@MrGamemaker2000

it's a tutorial. it's supposed to teach you something. if you want more health and stuff you just have to add it yourself. it's easy as hell.

[julle12346]

@MrGamemaker2000 maybe that sucks but i thing this tutorial is maked for beginners who are learning to make games with gmk...

[goodboy122]

that dam clicking IS DRIVING ME FUCKING NUTS!!!!!!! but over all good video

[AldoJMagno]

FUCK

DUDE! I Wanna Know How Apply Facing

You Know Like Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat

[RKEreal1]

@AldoJMagno

me too...

[LabronnConner]

how to go on there

[MrBledar007]

you good where do i get this program where do i download :)

[thedarklordx]

WOOO!!! I HAVE PRO JUST LIKE DIS GUY WOOT AND I GOT IT FOR FREE OFF DA INTA NET WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[retardeddude0000]

thanks man, this helped me put together an enemy system for my beta. Been watching some of these tutorials since i got game maker back in '08

[DonUzaki]

this tutorial is really bad coding :S

learn GML, it will save you tons of time and it doesn't take much effort to learn.

[Stevmay09]

@DonUzaki

This was made more than two years ago.

[Dude7469]

@Stevmay09 it doesn´t matter how many year ago. why did you posted this video then???

[Stevmay09]

@Dude7469 i'm saying i have gotten much better since then. this was my first video.

[Stevmay09]

@SuperVipers Part one and two were actually one video, but i had to split it because the video was longer than 10 minutes.

[smwExpert]

@SuperVipers you're a little bitch lol

[SuperVipers]

@smwExpert You really think that is funny? Unsuccessful troll is unsuccessful.

[smwExpert]

@SuperVipers lol

[jessewam]

@smwExpert You're not very nice--not the type of guy one would want to invite to a dinner party or anything.

[smwExpert]

@jessewam just trolling dumb nitpicky people

[MrVk93]

@SuperVipers wow, you're a fucking faggot.

[tisfatman]

@Stevmay09 *3 years later* any of your games on yoyo yet?

i might upload mine but i keep messing the park where you ca drag buildings in to the screen like game maker 8 td game tower dence i watched a tut but i hate gml it sucks way worse then c++!

[MK519]

@Dude7469 your a fucking idiot, lol. he posted it in 2008 and ur commenting 4 years later of why he posted dthe video.. rofl..

[Dude7469]

@MK519 your a fucking idiot, lol. I said: it doesn´t matter how many year ago. Are you unable to read or something??? and he already answered to that so stfu.. rofl..

[pidku8]

@Stevmay09 ik

[SaMyZeR]

@DonUzaki

And where do you learn GML?

[DonUzaki]

@SaMyZeR i think there are tutorials on the internet, just search gml tutorial on google or something :P

use game maker's Help, it's really useful.

[thedarklordx]

sorry for taking up like 3 pages in comments but alot of people needed help/to be corrected

[thedarklordx]

@onkel650 i could make more intelligent enemys(this aint the creator talkin) easily but i know how hard it is to make decent ai(so i just copy the goomba behaviour from mario except with drops and attacking

[32pauser]

you shouldnt die on the first hit = /

[firemario10]

for newbs and not fight . :p

[TheAchmed123321]

nice made i am yo biggest fan stevmay09

[Niso40]

and you wasted your fucking time just to do this thing this is not even a fight bucause

1.the other one cant fight back

2.is not you really fighting

3.this fighting is so short that when i blinked it was finished

[kamenkaze]

your vid did help me alot thanks btw there are still some people don't apreciate your work here!(those are too shallow to post a foul comment)

[exhale4life]

Your videos just sucks.

[TheAlexHesketh]

Could you send me the .gmk or .gm6

Im interested in makeing a fighting game but i cant follow you`re tutroial. If you could sen me a .gmk or .gm6 i would greatly appreciate it.

[PikaChamp112]

if it takes this much time to make a basic "kill that guy" game then imagine how long it would take to make a game like street fighter O_O

[kamenkaze]

@PikaChamp112 sure did it long!

[thedarklordx]

@PikaChamp112 it took him litterally 20 minutes to make this at this rate street fighter would take 6-8 hours of actual work(the seconds you spend actually working on this) meaning the creators worked for 15-30 minutes a week(counting only the time they were working on this not down time or time away from computer/not working on game)

[akatsuki09KO]

THIS SUCKS!!!!!!!

[masteranimation2008]

In order for the guy to punch back, you will need some serious AI coding in GML XD

[GameMakerPrince]

@masteranimation2008 It would actually be fairly easy to make the other guy do the exact same quality of attack you would be able to do, since this is already so low quality, now if your fighting system was high quality you'd have to make the AI for the opponent high quality too.

[Lineout95]

I think it would help, if you didn't made the movie in two parts. I think it really fucked it up when you switched to another part. And by the way, didn't you showed the start in the last movie to?

[Iamgandalfwarlord]

i am terrible on game make any advice

[dyldon12]

PLEASE LOOK AT MY GAME MAKER VIDEO. I NEED HELP!

[superwatcher22]

the game don't work. i'm doing everything as you do, but when i click play button game maker shows me that there is no valid runner data. and i'm using game maker 6.1. what i need to do?

[Thingie5]

@superwatcher22

Game maker 6.1??? Thats old.

Download game maker 8.

[masteranimation2008]

@Thingie5 Did you ever stop to think that he probably bought 6.1? and doesn't want to buy 8?

[thedarklordx]

@masteranimation2008 dude that means he'll be lightyears away fro us as in things that worked then wouldnt work now and things that work now might not work then

[sotcNoob]

They should have HP =P

[thedarklordx]

@sotcNoob HP is some hard shit man its not easy shit tis hard shit to do(though technically you could just make a variable and have it decrease per hit until it hits 0 then the guy dies but that would be the gay 80's/90's you cant see if what your doing is even hurting the boss/how much longer before he dies

[blackoff1cer]

you call that fighting

[raeaic]

how do you make the character punch in each direction?

[thedarklordx]

@raeaic same thing he did for the single punch just with an animation for every other direction same with sprites and objs sound fun?

[raeaic]

@thedarklordx its cool i worked it out a long time ago =P

[lolvids100]

when i attack my character goes into the ground then goes back up plz help

[GammaFoxTBG]

Three things really bug me about this video:

1) You use a different object for various actions. That's a bulky method to doing it and very inefficient.

2) You wait for the entire animation to be finished; why don't you get it to check the image_index, and at the very point where the punch is most extended, THEN activate the hit?

3) Getting stuck into a platform is not a glitch, that's bad programming.

Other than that, the tutorial wasn't bad, but wasn't very good.

[thedarklordx]

@GammaFoxTBG (not the creator incase your too lazy to read my name)

1) i agree he could just use the change sprite thingy but even i only learned bout that shit recently so cut him some slack plus that seems like an advanced concept for noobs/newbs(the people who this vid is made for)(theres a difference a big one) to grasp

2) thats also super complicated for noobs and its in gml

3) duhh its for noobs what did you expect pro games to look like/use tuts like this?(no offense stevmay09)

[GammaFoxTBG]

@thedarklordx none of the concepts I just talked about are difficult if properly explained. The second point I made, for example, is very simple, all you need to do is just have a test variable function in the step event, wait for the image_index to hit the right image, and then execute the hit. As for that last comment, just because the video is made for people who are just learning about Game Maker, doesn't mean they deserve to be taught bad habits.

[thedarklordx]

@GammaFoxTBG baby steps baby steps man teach a simpler concept then teach the more advanced/better ways to do it

[GammaFoxTBG]

@thedarklordx so you would rather be taught inefficient, bad concepts at first, and later learn better ones that would render the old ones completely useless later, even if both were simple?

[thedarklordx]

@GammaFoxTBG ok the second concept wont work for lots of animations/would be pointless what if its a multiple hit animation? so your gonna use that image index crap for every hit instead of just lumping them all together at the end(which would work unless your animation is so long people would have time to look at the hp and notice that it doesnt register til the end but then again that may be a bad example to answer your question what your saying isnt all that simple

[GammaFoxTBG]

@thedarklordx, Yes it is. If you have multiple frames that are supposed to register hits, then just put another test variable with an 'else' function.

[thedarklordx]

@GammaFoxTBG that seems like alot more work than necessary...

[GammaFoxTBG]

@thedarklordx Then you're going to have a very hard time making games in the future.

[thedarklordx]

@GammaFoxTBG dun worry ive greatly improved in skill over the last week i just powerlvled to gm noob to intermediate in less than a week(watch alot of youtube gm tutorials and get a pirated version of gm8 pro for free of da internet(a youtube video link) and your skills will power level)

[GammaFoxTBG]

@thedarklordx Sorry to tell you this, but you're not gonna learn a whole lot off of these YouTube tutorials. If you really are what you consider an "intermediate," you already know more than enough to not bother with these anymore. If you really do want to learn new stuff and very useful concepts, go to the Game Maker Community, where you can find tons of tutorials and get help without having to wait weeks. I can't put a link due to YouTube, but Google it, I guarantee you it will help.

[thedarklordx]

@GammaFoxTBG i went to the gmc im currently on a 3-day ban for calling gmc staff douche bags in japanese(Which i dont speak i just google translated it aparantly you can get punished for what you do in other languages too its gay) so for now just lurking youtube watching game maker vids learning things i didnt know before that will come in handy for most(if not all) of my games

[GammaFoxTBG]

@thedarklordx Eh, suit yourself.

[link11111996]

@GammaFoxTBG FUCK YOU!!!!! It actualy helped me and you don't have to be a bitch about everything YYYYOOOOUUUU don't "approve" of.

[GammaFoxTBG]

@link11111996 It's called constructive criticism.

[tavetavo]

that clikin has rythem

[spritefan11]

your using the x but a z poped up and there is no Z!

[compatflame9]

where is this path i can't find it

[OldjimBob]

good, but was the clicking really needed

[fattyvid]

After I press the key and do that attack animation, I can't control my character anymore! Help!

[thedarklordx]

@fattyvid did you remember to make the character go back to the regular sprite with do events turned ON?

[Lolmatcho]

-_-

[drawner22]

ihave a bir of a prob in here i do everything like you say me two and when i press x i changes into a sprite and i cant move anymore plz assist?

[thedarklordx]

@drawner22 see my last comment

[goronable]

this is not a fight

[5KellyChan5]

@goronable can you do better?

[goronable]

@5KellyChan5 sure



[5KellyChan5]

@goronable for you do better, you had to go by the basics.

So do not despise the basic, because they are essential.

you're very stupid....

[thedarklordx]

@5KellyChan5 actually if i put enough time and effort in i could do better hell no matter how fast he was going or what he was doing i could predict it and i know how to do all of this if i wanted i could have this done today(albeight with different sprites)

[5KellyChan5]

@thedarklordx can you shut up?

It's stevmay09 video not YOUR video

so shut up and arpeciate his work

[thedarklordx]

@5KellyChan5 i was just making a point no need to be a dick and I DO apreciate his work likes half my comments were helping those who need it

[MADGAS360]

@goronable Yeah, you're right, it's more like a game where you just punch a guy and win. lol

[5KellyChan5]

@MADGAS360 other idiot

[thedarklordx]

@goronable STFU! dont let noobs know that then they'll come asking how to make STREET FIGHTER!!(which for a professional would take a couple weeks for the first 2d one and a noob would do that in 3-6 months)

[GoranMPG]

dam, you create so much instances, that is not good for more demanding games, this is for newby's , try to make single object that changes animation and not instances, since it is harder to make health for it in this state it is now...

[thedarklordx]

@GoranMPG yeah theres the change sprite thing in either main 1 or main 2 i forget at this time but it works wonders for not having to make new objs all the time

[jorkey0roblox]

lol wut about health? wouldent that make it much better and more fun?

[funkysander2908]

thx it's work

[itswillymac]

Do you have a link to your game??

[Mrpalkia00]

im create a mini player and gigant enemys is was hard that was on a sinkin ship water was lava

[WildLandRoockie]

I thought this tutorial woulod teach me how to make the enemy fight back! :S

[OurFavoriteGamer]

@WildLandRoockie Making the enemy fight requires timelines or alarms.

[thedarklordx]

@OurFavoriteGamer how do you use a timeline(you may think from my last 5 or so comments im some sort of supa pro but im not im just as newb as the people this is intended for(well a little more advanced that that) and i have no idea what timelines are for or how they work what are those? what they do? how they work?(sorry bout the grammer too lazy to type right)

[thedarklordx]

@WildLandRoockie welll... you could just reverse code this(code the same thing for the enemy as the play then change the controls to say

player 1 left right up to move and ctrl to punch

enemy a d w to move and space to punch

then rename enemy to player 2 then go get a buddy and have a showdown(dont forget to make a backwards sprite for teh player like with the enemy(renamed player 2)

[littlekuriboh500]

Nice, but how do you make the enemy fight back and also make health bars.

[quibbloboy]

dude this sucks i could do 10,000,000 times better in 10 seconds

[thedarklordx]

@quibbloboy dont you mean 10x better in an hour? because tahts more realistic

[machinen2]

this is not a fight 0_0

[FBProductions12345]

this is poor, sorry but i know and can make better

[thedarklordx]

@FBProductions12345 so do i
