does this work with animated sprites?

[mrangus703]

ur vid iz blurry

[blazeml111]

dude ur vid messed up my game -_-

[SkullBlackRose]

ok im trying to make a little sonic game and i need to ask because im trying to make my character jump.... but the gravity brings him back down slowly when he is air born what do i do to make the jump... look like a jump? (as in bring him back down faster) and also how can i make sure the my character wont go threw the walls... because he does sometimes when hes running?...

[taneli2288]

I did everything right, but it does not jump, and it moves just a little bit left or right at a time? Why? Does it matter if i'm using a mac?

[frikken20]

FINALLY! a simple tutorial that works. thank you very much, every other tutorial has a million other things to add into the event box and it never ends up working.

[NSHentertainment]

my animation of the player isnt there? it works but he stands stil in the animation ? :(

[PubumProductions]

mine has gravity, but it is sinking slowly through the wall

[Legofan200]

Umm... I thought you ment like super mario galaxy or somthin. yea i know another way to do this...

[JakobRobert00]

i try to do the same in GML

but what is the corresponding function for (If there is a collision at a position)?

it would look like this the code:

if(keyboard_check_pressed(vk_u­p))&&() {vspeed=-10}

what has to go in the brackets after the && thats what i mean

[tyyou9]

my player can jump,but he is realy realy slow at the way down(its hard to explain,im from sweden)

[Deathbringer3557]

workes but is there a way i can fix this if i dont hold up and another button he goes down rly rly slow how do i fix it?

[superhiman99]

ty man!! it worked! thanks!! can you make another vid that tells you how to make a shooting game? it would be really helpful. anyway ty man!!!!

[CyberZombies]

Works perfect! 5/5

Thanks for the video!

[tardsplooger]

kinda workded

[LordPeter120]

Very Thanks!

[Nabeel19982nd]

it doesent work!!!!!!!!!!!!

[FrozenAnarchy]

Problem. The jumping isn't as clean as I'd hoped. Yes, my character can jump. But if I hold jump while running against a wall, he climbs the wall all the way up. Also, if he runs into a solid object, he bounces around against it.

How do I fix these?

[eonpkmn111]

your very kind.. thank you, but I really want is: an item storage for my game pokemon.(Please comment my channel if you seen wrong spelling and tell me that because i'm a filipino)

[jrwiggles99]

Omg it worked!!!!!! THANX SO MUCH!

[Jwix598]

nvm, i completely understand this now, ty sooo much! I never would've thought about what to do next on my own...!

[Jwix598]

I didnt understand anything...

[blazinghellwheels]

my guy is doing good but he *sticks* to the floor as if its doing more then one collision

[MrAlligatoooor]

same here, how did you fixed it?

[bosybosyboy]

Thank you very muchhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i love bec. you know me that i want it

[gamemasterp789562]

nice vid, works well.

thanks

[lonewoulf239]

how do you keep him from dubble jumping?

[erik1609]

I found out how to go to the right and left!

In the jump to given direction thingy you must type -1 at y. Then it will look like it walks to!

[bermotter]

Guys, if you keep going up with your character, you, you've made a key-press event, not a keyboard event

[Bulley007]

If i start my room, my guy goes fast to the right of the room till there is a collision

[zrap100]

Do you have something wrong in your Create event?

[runeguy574]

when my guy touches the floor my guy dosent move can you help me please relp quik if you can thx

[bobheadownz]

wtf? wen i start the game...it pushes him through the floor...even no it solid...i did everthing u said to...

[joshualuigi220]

you forgot to set gravity direction to 270.

[njnjadriver]

@Bulley007

you must "direction" to write small

[linksbrawler]

how do i make my guy stop moving then?

[flashman2201]

release key

movement stop

[yocrazyblobbyblob]

thank u so much faved!

[Edwin0o]

?? when i jump i dont fall down, it keeps raising

[AMAWproductions]

When i try to make my character walk left and right it wont move left unless in mid air and only moves right but uber laggy-like. help please?

[zrap100]

I really don't know why, but try to doublecheck the video. I can't give more help. Sry...

[xXShadowAsasNXx]

thx man that relly helped :)

[thewhulk]

work* XD

[thewhulk]

my own gravity did not wrok yours dos ty

[articuno01]

got it working thanx heaps

cool room you have made

+

awesome snake desktop background

[imsososogreat]

hmm i hav a new problem

wen i press jump, it dosnt limit how many times i can jump, it just keeps jumping

[zrap100]

Did you forget the "Check collision-action at 1:20?

[imsososogreat]

my player dosnt jump wen on the solid object, yet wen in mid air it does

[zrap100]

I think, that you have checked the NOT-box at 1:20. It have to be unchecked, if it's checked, your characther can only jump, if it don't hit a solid object.

[WCMagmaLava]

Good tutorial, but i got a problem: When i touch a wall, my guy go to right a bit. Can you help me o fix it please? =) anyways thanks for the tutorial+.

[zrap100]

I really don't know why it do that.

[ScienceNoobs]

mine wont jump :S

[zrap100]

watch 1:20 again

[brede2000]

help i jump but dont fall down

[zrap100]

I think your problem is at the player/bears step-event (0:29) it's the two first actions.

Try watch them again, and try. I think your problem is about there.

[pivotfrance800]

its almost done! so far i have the instructions screen, and 3 levels.. lol

[pivotfrance800]

thanx so much! this helped alot, and now im making a game called "Baker's Dozen" with my mom :)

ill let you know when im done, and ill send you the link to play it :)

[zrap100]

I'm looking forward for it xD

[snowstormy3k]

I mailed u but whateva. the gravity and jumping works fine except if i press right and up he glitches to the top of the screen. he also get stuck moving. i'll try to get u a vid of it so u can pick things out. thx

[zrap100]

Okay. Maybe, i should have made an better ver. of the video...

[zrap100]

I think the thing about, that your player move to the top of the screen when you press right, is because of, that you need to check the relative box in the "Jump to a given position" in the players "Right"-event.

but i don't know why you get stuck. Try make that video as i can see it (-:

[EggzNHamVideos]

i tried your method of moving and i have to repeatedly press left or right to get anywhere!

[zrap100]

Did you make a Keyboard > left and a Keyboard > right-event?

Or did you make a press key-event (or what it's called. This is my mothers pc...).

It have to be the first one.

[SolidWorm88]

This was insanely helpful. Thank you so much!!! 5/5 for sure!

[DeathWeeps]

while somewhat helpfull I find my character

sticking to the ground and running in place...

is there some sort of friction setting I should know about or??? And my character isnt jumping either like yours, and i have viewed your video several times that I know it by heart at this point. If you check this video any more I would be most happy if you would reply and tell me what I am doing wrong because it is really annoying me... thank you,

[zrap100]

At the step-event, there is two 'set gravity-actions' but i think, your problem is at the first one. Who should be:

Direction: 270

Gravity: 0.5

Relative: FALSE

i think, that you have checked that relativebox.

If it doesn't work, just tell me.
