Platform game in MMF2 1/4

[Tabe112]

Since this is kinda old you maybe know this by now but when I discovered the power of fastloops, you MUST use fastloops when making a custom engine, MUST I say, do you hear me?! YOU MUST!

[luizgustavo822]

you porfect color is red ?

[MrCinnamonBones]

can you do a step by step tutorial on the things you need to do that are most important to make a game? like one vid on how to program the character, one video on how to make the moving background, and so on. I'm really trying to understand this. Thanks!

[pudinthemushroomhead]

when I press the right arrow, he moves right, but when I press the left arrow, he teleports to a side and starts walking left. help?

[jayjay89568956]

i dont know why but people are saying that your to fast and i did get through this tutorial

[ShinoJereamachi]

GM is way better then this, I tried to make a pacman game butwhen i have the entity of one of the ghosts he can now skip through walls. When i contacted them to get this anwsered they couldn't help me. ya, game maker is WAY better, and yes game maker has all of the exporters.

[sskorpiana]

@ShinoJereamachi shut up. game maker sucks. mmf2 is better than GM and Flash 8.

[ShinoJereamachi]

@sskorpiana they're all bad, i don't see your point

[JohnSegway]

This is so insanly hard to follow but I can't find any written stuff on makin Platformers.

Please slow the hell down if you make more of these, I have to pause every second to try and see what you're up to behind them annotations :<

[Xxfades321xX]

approx. 7:02 your comment bubble is in the way of your instructions!! what did you do here?

[adgeofbionicles]

You didn't have to do all that programming! Simply select the character, go to the properties menu, and change his movevent to platform!

[Droid15243Z]

@adgeofbionicles It's for custom movement. (Alot more customizable.)

[HoboNoah]

@StevenNomena I never said it didn't, I'm only pointing out RadaSs90's comparison is unfair. does multimedia flash JUST make games? Game Maker again, is directed at making games, so it's a simpler and quicker process to program a game. And I'm not saying MMF2 sucks, nor am I saying game maker is better, once more, I'm only pointing out each program has their own flaws, and the comparison "adult to a child" is drastically over exaggerated.

[jokeman248]

@HoboNoah dude mmf2 is the upgraded version of game maker just like mmf2 developer is the upgraded version of mmf2.the reason mmf2 has more game making features than game maker it just seems like gamemaker has more because clickteam also added lots of non-game related features to mmf2 when it was upgraded as well

[HoboNoah]

@jokeman248 And pay attention, people are getting pissy with me for saying that MMF2 isn't the god of everything. How could that seem rational to anyone? Oh wait, I forgot, that's how humans function. "IF YOU DON'T LIKE WHAT I LIKE, IT'S OBVIOUS THAT YOU'RE INFERIOR TO ME." Is that about right? So that makes it wrong to say that maybe both programs are okay in certain ways? And I'd also like a sensible version of your argument, all you've said is "It's better because I think it's better."

[jokeman248]

@HoboNoah I aint sayin ur inferior to me and I'm not saying game maker is a bad program, im saying mmf2 is better becuase it's meant to be better, again its the upgraded version of game maker. I'm also not saying mmf2 is the god of everything like I said, mmf2 developer is the upgraded version of mmf2 and there are probably other programs out there better than mmf2 developer. to sum it up: game maker has good features, mmf2 has the same good features plus extra good features they added

[HoboNoah]

@jokeman248 You realize, with each game creation program comes a code editor, which enables the addition of any feature possible for either program? Meaning each program is only as limited as the person using it? My point is neither program is better. That MMF2 is good for multiple things, and Game Maker is good for focusing on games, it's more straight forward since it's sole purpose is to create games, as to where any flash software is meant for a variety of things.

[jokeman248]

@HoboNoah I know that but most of the time the reason people are using game maker, mmf2, or mmf2 developer is because their not very good at programing. If you have to program yourself a lot of the things mmf2 has preprogramed, then that makes game maker harder to use.Plus because for the umpteenth time mmf2 is the new version of game maker, mmf2 continues to be updated with new software and extensions, and because its much more populer, theirs more youtube tutorials on it

[HoboNoah]

@jokeman248 MMF2 is not a version of game maker, Game Maker was programmed solely by Mark Overmars and is still in production, the current version is Game Maker 8. As you said, MMF2 was made by clickteam, these are separate people. And if you expect to get into game design seriously without being a programmer, You'll never make an advanced game all on your own, ever, not one that's unique and personal. And this isn't about what's more popular, it's not even about what's better,

[HoboNoah]

@jokeman248 You're just clinging to the idea that MMF2 has more features than game maker, and saying that that makes it better. While I'm saying that, each program is strong in their own ways, that Game maker Focuses on it's own way of developing a variety of ways, and that MMF2 has a broad horizon, meant for making a large variety of programs, games, etc.

[jokeman248]

@HoboNoah dude I'm such an idiot I was confusing game maker with games factory haha I have no idea what game maker is so I can't really have much of an opinion on that plus just by the way when I say programing I mean programing languages like just plain scripting and if someone were to go into advanced game making like for wii and ps3 and stuff then yes u should have a background in scripting but for making online games mmf2 provides a simpler interface so you dont have to know scripting

[HoboNoah]

@jokeman248 Glad we got that out of the way, sorry if any offense was taken, I remember Games Factory lightly, and I remember it being rather primitive, but to avoid any more scuffles I'll shut up before bringing it up. But you should take a gander at Game Maker, what you see my just surprise you. (And I'm not advertising, just making a suggestion)

[thedragonb0y]

Very nice tutorials. By showing me what you do rather than talk about it for hours get's it done quick and I learned much just by watching! ^^d

[LaNekra]

is this better than IGMAKER(Action game maker) ???

[SirGamer199318]

wow he made this so complicated. There is an active object movement called "Platform Movement" and there is an object especially for platform movement. Basically the same thing as what he did just without the events.

[LaNekra]

whats the diference between this and mmf2 developer?

[kezunetwitch]

A tip? Next time you make a tutorial, have all of your sprites prepared.

[Shadowfied]

@kezunetwitch He should if it actually was a tutorial, but this is an example.

[9848674445]

I think flash is waaay better

[sskorpiana]

@9848674445 It doesn't work. MMF2 is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaay better than this flash 8 and gamemaker crap.

[9848674445]

@sskorpianai agree that gamemaker is crap, but flash is rly good

[sskorpiana]

@9848674445 I also agree that flash is good, because I used Adobe Flash CS5(It look just like Macromedia Flash 8) and make sprite animation tests and stick figure animations :) I really agree that Flash is good ;)

[9848674445]

@sskorpiana glad we agree then =)

[9848674445]

@sskorpianai agree that gamemaker is crap, but flash is rly good, also with flash u can make animations, and movies and ads and websites

[EliaForce1984ita]

1:47

[devinschmitz]

they already have a program in the program that makes your person move around its on properties and if u click the image that looks like a little guy it brings up a stage that says static u just click it and there r differnt styles of move ment

[Ruttie2]

Wait a minute wait a minute wait a minute....

i'm losing it at the part with the at loop thing...

I mean what do i need to enter. And what the fuck is hot spot, i didn't quite catched that.. -_-

[slugheads1]

dude its nice tutorial but to fast and dont explain too good what to do when the boxes come up where you type in stuff

[kingdomslasher]

nice tutorial!

[KiKfilms]

haha jesteś Polakiem

masz platform studio?bo ja mam i to gówno jakieś jest bo nie wczytuje cziekam na odpowiedź

[MyNameIsBret]

Is what you're typing into those boxes significant? If it is, you might wanna slow down or add an annotation to the movie so we know.

I can't really see it even on pause.

Other than that, these help immensely.

[yosi566]

i know the creator of MMF2 D=

and cool vid

[vladikus10]

You're typing too fast i can't understand what your writing in them

[zomglolcats]

You're right Game Maker is so great. It can make java mobile apps, will be getting it's own Flash, XNA, Android, and possibly iPhone exporters. Oh wait no it's not, MMF2 is.

[MettallicDesease]

Game maker is poop - nothing else

[kibjohn]

I agree

[editucko]

Game maker bigest shit it world

[mrbrentx]

@zomglolcats GM can do it now

[sskorpiana]

@zomglolcats @9848674445 MMF2 is way better than this flash 8 and gamemaker crap.

[TheKierandrapper]

you should download the game maker 7 its BETER THAT THAT PEICE OFF CRAP! lol it is im not tryin to be mean

[RadaSs90]

MWAHAHAHA

YOU MADE MY DAY *laughing*

Ok, seriousness, seriousness...

If you campare MMF2 with GM it's same if you campare adult and kid.

Simply saying, MMF2 is more powerful.

[HoboNoah]

@RadaSs90 To be honest that come back sucked, i've only heard of multi media and have truly no intention on ever obtaining it, and you're comparing mm with the lite version of game maker? The pro version (the one you pay for) is capable of Three-Dimensional and multiplayer games, is multi media? I do not know, and also, game maker can be considered a better program because it is USER

[HoboNoah]

@HoboNoah (continued) FRIENDLY, the power of a program means nothing if you can't find out how to use it, game maker is soully directed at creating games, while it is based on already existing games (therefore making a new kind of game can prove to be difficult) it makes the demenial and repedetive tasks (such as programming a simple GUI) into a simple 6 click process, so it may not be powerful, but it is much more resourceful and deserves more credit then comparing an adult to a child.

[HumorOfTW0]

@RadaSs90 game maker is also harder to use

[MeGaEdIIToRMaN]

@RadaSs90 and better ... because you can create even program's :)

[HoboNoah]

@RadaSs90 Tell ya what, show me an example of a GREAT MMF2 Game.

[JundoYoupo]

@TheKierandrapper MMF 2 has heaps better shit

[AZNAngel32]

@TheKierandrapper Rada Ss90 does have a point. Game maker is WAAAAY more complicated than MMF2! i used to think that game maker was the best out there, but then i found MMF2. to make a long story short, MMF2 is better than game maker 7.

[HoboNoah]

@TheKierandrapper GAME MAKER 8 PWNT >:D

[sskorpiana]

@HoboNoah NO! MMF2 PWNS FLASH 8 AND GAMEMAKER D:<

[HoboNoah]

@sskorpiana Show me the best game you've ever seen made with MMF2.

[renzleobert]

@TheKierandrapper Who the hell can say GM is better than this "crap"? It is used to create applications, stand-alones and more!

>tryin not to be mean

>PEICE OF CRAP!

lolwut?

[BunkeyTheMunkey1]

@TheKierandrapper actually this program is better because gamemaker never works for me but only game factory and mmf2 and gamemaker is shit,i'll never test out my game even though it was very perfect.They never put gamemaker 7 anymore.

[sskorpiana]

@TheKierandrapper MMF2 is not crap. GAMEMAKER AND FLASH 8 IS A PIECE OF CRAP!

[AfterShockPivot]

just say, X("Active")+3

[RadaSs90]

No no, that irony was asking for rsedivy2's ask.

I'm glad it was helpful, friend.

[RadaSs90]

There are loops

Repeat while pressing "left" -> start loop "left_loop"

On loop "left_loop" -> set x of player to his x - 1.

:)

[RadaSs90]

Dude, I'm from Poland and I understood only 'ide gore, dole, levo'. Explain please :)

Pozdrawiam :)

[olo1995jarocin]

lepiej zobacz kto pisze na gg ;P

[RadaSs90]

Zawracają mi głowę :p

[rsedivy2]

Youre soo good at graphics! Could you make me coins?

[RadaSs90]

was it an irony? :)

[shinockx]

Hey Cant Understand what You Are Typing

[XxKuJuxX]

please help me it only lets me change the anim ation to stopped help pls!

[hypersnake19]

have you created them both sides ???

[gaaratimeskip98]

dont put +1 just put 1

[I360FlipStuff]

I do everything step-by-step but he still doesn't move right!

[Schakalaka199613]

dosnt understand pls draw in the video WHAT you type in....

[Zambaku]

I get an error saying "Can't understand your experssion" when I type in set X of player to X of player + 1

[nusua]

Alright, I have success so far. Thank you for this video, now to go on to part 2.

[FinalXProductions]

i added x1 but it keeps saying cannot understand expression please help?

[Teemuslayer]

In case people haven't realized yet:

There's pre-set control/movement styles available in MMF that you can assign to your objects. You can for example make the object follow your mouse, or directly apply a basic 2D-platformer movement with jump-feature.

It's just that they can be kinda limited, which is why people looking for more control over things or more complex features tend to create their features up from scratch, like in this video.

[emperornerd]

It seems to clip a lot when you try to jump through an obstacle using the default platform movement setting. Perhaps one of the limitations?

[jerrik96]

i need help with the jumping. i got everything else perfect, its just that the jumping doesent work. but this was really helpful. and can u pleez help me now

[VGasshole]

Oh man, this great getting to see someone make an interface from scratch, but I wish the speech bubbles didn't cover up your menus...

Thanks for making this!

[Dlamby07]

my charactor keeps going up when i move right =/ help plz?

[RadaSs90]

so check loops and check what is going on during every loop, dude

[Dlamby07]

yeh ok thanks! XD works now cant get gravity down tho =/

[lestersole]

hwo is da pasiunia?

[Dlamby07]

your to god damn quick mate =/ x

[Matthawk12]

what the heck does it say on 7:28 - 7:38?

[RadaSs90]

I edit loops writing "left", "right" etc. depends of key pressed, because I copied and everywhere was "left" loop

[Matthawk12]

oh, okay

[Matthawk12]

... still don't understand ^^;

[Shaman703]

What do you write inside the "" at 6:28 it looks like it says "Param0" but that doesn't make any sense...Yeah yeah i know it's a loop, but i want to know the word you put in there.

[RadaSs90]

"Left", "Right", "Up", "Down" - I wrote in polish lewo, prawo, góra, dół

[MSClericKing]

This seems to work, but when I'm pressing right, the animation doesn't loop. It'll only loop when I've stopped and started again.

[MSClericKing]

Never mind, I see what I did wrong.

[RadaSs90]

hehe ^^

[bocca882]

What the hell? Set x of player to X of player +1

[RadaSs90]

omg -.-'

set X of player to:

X( "Player" )+1

[SuperWiiBros08]

That escribistes in the minute 6:10 to 6:11?

[RadaSs90]

repeat while right arrow is pressed - set X of player to X of player + 1

[mriorgute]

man i wish i could draw just like u..

my gaming life would be so much easier...

[RadaSs90]

lol xd

[residenta3]

to jest super

[arkmalfius]

Great tutorial dude.

[RadaSs90]

thx

[PhyrePhenix]

make sure the position is relative to your player and the square that appears is right in the middle of him

[NotMyName9834]

Nice spriting work. Though it would be more interesting with narration. =D

[RadaSs90]

I've made descriptions ;)

[bloodzap]

SPEEK!

[gamergg]

that looks so complicated

[deadthugpaper]

is not rly, but its probs because he didn't explain one thing.

[crilosius]

dude if you gonna do a video with no explanations... you should go slower so people can see what your doing

[j0nte33]

i dont understand anything can you do a movie when you show more easy

[HomocidalCanineK9]

you could have at least explained what you were doing no body could see anything

[jellis1408]

can someone help me?

i saved a game that i was making on the demo version, and when i tried to open it back up it said "unknown file format"

i saved it as a .mfa

[jellis1408]

well, it said "unknown format"

and then "failed to open document"

[simon787nilsson]

Well crack or buy full version. And if you downloaded another one of the Demos, then unlucky you...

[MJKwote]

wow.. sound.. I have no clue what he's doing

[JokingJames2]

Why not just use the preset platform movement? Does this work better? I'm just wondering.

[RadaSs90]

Well I am using my own movement, because I can do anything what I want with it. I can change gravity, making moving effects, double jumps, climbings, low graviting, etc. JUST ANYTHING you can do with your own movement. Movement built in are for newbies to make simple games :P

[JokingJames2]

oh ok

[RadaSs90]

^_,^

[shazarava1]

What did you type in the on loop condition?I can't see it at all.I looked in your earlier comment, but they didn't seem to answer my question.

[RadaSs90]

repeat while left arrow key is pressed - start loop "left" 3 times

on loop "left" - set player's X to player's X -1. Same as right, up, down.

[Tolliacus]

Hey guys listen (or read :D) I want to make my character stab (shooting animation) what do I have to Write (install) in my Event editor please help!!!

Good vid

[Tolliacus]

Hey do's anybody know how

you center screen at 0,0 from character????

[RadaSs90]

always - center screen 0,0 from character.

[Tolliacus]

YEAH but how???

[satansam]

As he said!

[ElectroBlade]

I know this is a really dumb question, but how do you make the sprite in that MS-Paint type thingy? :P

[RadaSs90]

hum? I was drawing it

[Tolliacus]

Hey how do you center screen at 0,0 from character????

[Juiss2]

What do you type at 6:29?

[RadaSs90]

I said 3x earlier. This is a loop.

[Tolliacus]

How do you make your screen(frame) longer???

[Tolliacus]

Hey does anyone knows how to make your frame(the space your working in) bigger (Longer) ??????

[RadaSs90]

in storyboard editor, just click on icon of screen or numbers and change size. :)

[Tolliacus]

Thank you so much ps your movie still rocks

[raiku1988]

i can make platform game only problem is= i can't draw very well

[nathanallisonfilm]

RadaSs90, your videos rock!

[RadaSs90]

Thank you!

[boomkiller25]

im thinking about getting this and i want to know how hard it is to get a guy moving and to get him to throw objects or shoot a gun like in i wanna be the guy

[Tolliacus]

Yeah man I made a platform game without this movie in 2days and now I could do it in 5 min.

[Tolliacus]

But Hey I do everything like you do but if I run the application he won't move!

I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

[RadaSs90]

Ok, tell me what did you write.

[Tolliacus]

oh wait thanks but its already working but now my screen won't follo my character how do you install that

[RadaSs90]

always - center screen at 0,0 from character. :)

[Tolliacus]

And how do you do that???

[Tolliacus]

I know this sounds stupid:

WHATS A LOOP????

[RadaSs90]

loop is a thing that runs event x times. For example if you make

start of frame - start loop "lol" 5 times

on loop "lol" - set x of player to (x of player +1)

in 2nd event player will be moving by pixel +1 but in 5x loop, so it will be moving like in 5 pixels.

[Tolliacus]

what are u typing in at 6:11??

[RadaSs90]

Read my posts before...

[Tolliacus]

how do you get that program multimedia blabla

????

thx for reading and a nice movie

[imamariobro]

Rise of the static engine! :P

[linkman42]

wut did u do at 7:20?????

[RadaSs90]

Read my posts before..... I've made a loop

[AfrojacX]

What did you type at 6:10???

[RadaSs90]

I said already

I've made a loop with a movement.

[xDriscollx]

wat did u type in (6.35mins in) pls msg bck

[RadaSs90]

repeat while left is pressed - start loop "left" 3 times

same as right, down, up

....

on loop "left" - set player x to player x - 1

same as right, down, up

[migse]

This is great! Or,atleast it would be if i could see what you where doing...maybe you could type/say what you do?

[Oshio2]

This is good and all but I get stuck around the end cause I can't read at what you type.

[Rockmage]

Yes, I agree.

[DjTonino]

coool, thanks, but in MMF2 in possible using MP3 mudic for a videogame?

[RadaSs90]

yes, you can play MP3 :)

[Daniel55679Games]

I Personally convert MP3's into WAV Files and play them as uninteruptibles.
