[wolfenand]

when the mouse collision with the player this move like crazy, help

[robertjackFunEvideo]

Do you need pro version for this?

[masteranimation2008]

@robertjackFunEvideo I have the lite version, so what do you think? If you have the pro version, skip the animating part and change the following line(s):

image_index=direction-90;

to:

image_angle = point_direction(x,y,mouse_x,mo­use_y);

ERROR in

action number 1

of Mouse Event for Glob Left Pressed

for object Snopp obj 1:

Error in code at line 1: f=instance_create(x,y,sperma_o­bj)  ^

at position 23: Unknown variable sperma_obj

What should i do=?

[masteranimation2008]

@AnonymGangster It's pretty much self-explanitory really, make sure sperma_obj actually exists as an object and that the object is named like that, not the sprite.

[thecamraeye]

@masteranimation2008 when it's done loading my arrow is autotmaticly moving the character instead of me clicking in that spot, this means it is shooting off

[masteranimation2008]

@thecamraeye It's intended to be like that...

[TheKrunk360]

i need help everytime

 i try to play it it says error

[hack3Rtub3]

thnx dude

[piwister]

Thanks im subbing!

[finalkamehamehaflash]

seriously? no sound? one third the picture? this really fucking crap..

[masteranimation2008]

@finalkamehamehaflash Music and sound is not really needed at all( well not for tutorials) if you want music, play your own. It usually brings stupid comments like: "Music sucks"

[lolfactor97]

How come when my character shoots, the bullets don't come out through the middle?

[masteranimation2008]

@lolfactor97 Set the origin of the sprite by clicking the "center" button in the sprite's settings to make them come out through the middle. It's in the video too...

[lolfactor97]

@masteranimation2008 yea, i rewatched the vid. i just 4got to delete the comment. thnks anyways for tut ;D!=

[Littleflip117]

can you make a tutorial on how to shoot the direction you're facing if you're using a joystick. Please...With sugar on top!

[AlmighyDove]

what if i wanted to move with the left mouse button and shoot with the right? I know I type (mouse_check_button( )), but i dont know what to put in the ( ). :\

[AlmighyDove]

@AlmighyDove and i know what to do to shoot with the right mouse button.

[masteranimation2008]

@AlmighyDove Oh, that's simple, all you have to do is remove this part from the code in the step event:

speed=0;

if (keyboard_check(vk_up)){speed=­4;}

Then add the event called Global Right Pressed, and move the code from the Global Left Pressed to that event, then when you're done with that, insert this code in the Global Left Pressed event:

{

speed=4;

}

then add the Global Left Released event, and add the same code but with a zero instead of a four, then you're done!.

[skoolrox123]
