[7heReaper]

[henrikse55]

how do i make it to change the level after i have comepleate the first level?

[yourgamedesign]

@henrikse55 You could use Test Score and set it to go to a new level (room) once it reaches (above) a certain score.

[henrikse55]

@yourgamedesign i have try that but nothing happen

[fari40433]

[c00kietome]

@yourgamedesign Thank you, i am an IDIOT!!

[benaan100]

how do i get the sprite move less fast?

[yourgamedesign]

@benaan100 You need to add more frames to animated sprites to make them appear moving slower.

[Jango747]

where can i get the sprites?

[SongoftheLute]

This is a very good tutorial

[illusionistdave]

I have the same problem with the negative lives. How does one fix this?

[Klutchirish23]

[dinfarsdick]

[Nastroboy69]

ive created some "power ups" in my game, how can i get the icon that drops from them to pass though the bricks and wall but not the bat? please help!

[Spirky7]

I dont have all the options on set time line even though im in advanced mode?

[TheSaska20]

I do everything but my bat can go just to left!!!

[MrRunesman181]

@TheSaska20 check the right event on your bat and make sure that it says jump to position (7,0)

[l0kidaf00l]

[MrMishow7]

@l0kidaf00l You must put the software on advanced mode !

[TheSaska20]

[Marko2000Rules]

[MrMishow7]

@Marko2000Rules Use the test score. when you have (220 for example ) use the fonction go to the next room !

[1kalekip1]

[deadassasin1]

[MyOwnEmailshow]

[MyOwnEmailshow]

@scurvylobster yeah right after i posted this i found that button

ps, my break out game is awesome

i even put a opening part with a button that says Play

and an ending part

[saintsUbermenche]

thx for helping :)

oh, and by the way: kult at du er dansk!

[nikolapehnec]

How tu use test lives?? pls explain tnxx bro!

[PeckhamFreerunner]

also my lives go to minus as well and where do you put the test score action and also can you make like a leaderboard?

[PeckhamFreerunner]

Double ball speed and bat speed then its way more fun :D btw ty for this vid

[pikmin1231]

I want to make a high score for the game. If i used score check there would be no point of getting the points. Every time I go to a new level the score goes back to 0. How do i make it that when i go to a new room it wont set the score to 0

[skisundayriver]

My lives go negative after I've hit zero. How do I make the game reset after I lose all three lives. I may have missed something :)

[yourgamedesign]

@skisundayriver Use a Test lives action for checking up on this.

[allinpokerhand001]

@skisundayriver

go into the "control" object. Create a new event called "other". Click "no more lives". Then go into the Main1 tab, and select the restart room

[Mcstudios2011]

@kharel123 the time line won't show if the program is in basic mode, to add backgrounds you need to load a background and then go into room properties and select tab backgrounds and then click on set background to what ever you named it, and yo get rid of the life problem simply go into the ball object and select other then select no more lives and then click on the second tab in the events and select redraft game or go to a game over screen your choice :)

[kharel123]

how do you add backgrounds????

[TopTwentyProduction]

@kharel123

Follow the tutorial, PLEASE!

[kharel123]

how do you make game over my ones goes -1,-2 and so on

[kharel123]

o dont worry about my last comment i found the solution

[kharel123]

can you download game maker 8 lite for free

[mreawsomeman]

@kharel123 yes game maker lite is free but if you want to go pro it's probibly going to cost you

[kharel123]

my one doesn't have a time line and i have game maker 8.0 pro please help

[NubiStudios]

How to go to next level, how do you do that?

[yourgamedesign]

@NubiStudios Use a Go to next room action. Use a Test Score action or something similar to check when the game should move on.

[NubiStudios]

@yourgamedesign

Oke, let's try ( Nice tutorials BTW! Go on! )

[NubiStudios]

@yourgamedesign

But, with what object?

( If you know what I mean )

[vaho20001]

@NubiStudios you mast go to main1 and there will be writen rooms you mast click there next room

[snarkbaited]

I have 8.1 and cant find the timeline button please help

[crazyguyuno]

@snarkbaited you have to make everything full screen. ex make the room cover up all of the words in the background

[NubiStudios]

@snarkbaited

By file, click advanced mode

[luisfilipe552009]

I make a error men , on reall the technic work. The problem is: I not create an second room , and that is the stupid error I make. xD. Else, you help me very much with this tutorial about breakout. You are very cool and friend.

[HGRiot]

Hi because it says lite does it mean that you can't save the game or that it works like a trial. I was just wondering because i would like to download it but it seems quite pointless if I can't save the game or if it's a trial. Thanks



[yourgamedesign]

@HGRiot It can save :)

[HGRiot]

@yourgamedesign thnaks I downloaded it today and it's great.It won't let me export it so is the only way that i can play it is through game maker 8?Thanks

[HGRiot]

@yourgamedesign thanks I downloaded it today and it's great.It won't let me export it so is the only way that i can play it is through game maker 8?Thanks

[yourgamedesign]

@HGRiot The Lite edition can also use "Create Executeable" to make a stand-alone game.

[luisfilipe552009]

The MORE LEVELS Technic is not working ,can you tel me wath is the problem?

[sammylockwood]

I have a slight problem. My version of GM8 lite does not have the Timeline section, does this mean I cannot finish the game or is there another way around it? :/

sam

[yourgamedesign]

@sammylockwood Go to the File menu and set it to Advanced mode.

[sammylockwood]

@yourgamedesign Thank you very much :)

[KillerPenguin98]

How do you make it so when lives reach 0 the level restarts

[yourgamedesign]

@KillerPenguin98 Use a Test Lives to check when lives hit zero. Then use the Restart game action.

[KillerPenguin98]

@yourgamedesign what do i put it under?



[scurvylobster]

@KillerPenguin98 You could make an object with no graphics (no sprite) and place it in your room. Have it run the Test Score (or Test Lives) to always check when that condition happens.

[xtrashine]

lol when i break em all the game keeps going

[badman240498]

But when i lose and i lost all my 3 hp then hp-s goto in miinus.How i do like this way then come gameover or somethink,,,

[scurvylobster]

@badman240498 Use a Test Lives action to check when the game needs to do something.

[badman240498]

@scurvylobster But how i send to my friend this game folder?

[Lameroid1998]

thank you so much!!! =D

[ImTheManResponisble]

Can you not use timeline in the free version of Game Maker?

[yourgamedesign]

@ImTheManResponisble I believe so - just go to Advanced mode in the File menu.

[ksjfka]

When i start the game the life stays at -1 but i put the set lives to 3 exactly as you did help please

[gr3gor15]

Tnx man! Realy helps..But u canhelp me how to build this when u finish 1 level behind hem is level 2 and then 3 ,4 and 5 and then type Congratulations! You finish the Game! ? :)

[yourgamedesign]

@gr3gor15 Hi! Read the article on adding levels on the yourgamedesign website.

[shadowmaster4554]

and when i destroy all the blocks?

how do i make go to next level

[yourgamedesign]

@shadowmaster4554 Read the article on it on the yourgamedesign website.

[shadowmaster4554]

@yourgamedesign thanks alot (:

[liveordie97]

can you get the timeline in the free lite simple mode????????

[scurvylobster]

@liveordie97 In GM go to File menu and set to Advanced mode.

[OscarOBerry]

I dont have the create a new timeline button, please help!

[killer24norway]

@OscarOBerry in Game Maker go to the upper left corner and turn the "Advanced Mode" on. Then you should have it.

[Ulve124]

you can reach -1 lives, how do i fix it so you lose the game at 0 lives

[yourgamedesign]

@Ulve124 Use the action Test Lives to check when lives goes below 0 and the use the action Restart game or something else you want to happen.

[Tauronos]

how do i make the high score pop up after ive lost 3 lives, always comes up after i loose 1

[yourgamedesign]

@Tauronos Make sure that it runs Check Lives to equal 0 then show hiscore.

[509g1]

4:43 your die marker is fake lol, it just bounced back up without losing a life and restrting at jump position ?

[yourgamedesign]

@509g1 It's working fine. It a rare bug that causes the ball to bounce back when it hits the wall sometimes (it never hits the die marker). Check at 6:20 to see it working.

[509g1]

@yourgamedesign are ok cool, where using this at my college lol, my teacher said watch this video, hope u make me pass :P lol. and we watched it on the big screen lol, i just got use to gamemaker :/

[yourgamedesign]

@509g1 :)

[CPTrainer100]

how do u save it so u can play it on ur desktop

[yourgamedesign]

@CPTrainer100 Go to the File menu and use Create executable.

[TheDClad]

how come when i destroy the blocks it just keeps flashing and doesn't disappear

[yourgamedesign]

@TheDClad Take a closer look at the video tutorial on that part once again since that really shows all steps in full detail.

[PcGamersHD]

How would you add levels?

[yourgamedesign]

@PcGamersHD Read the small guide on the yourgamedesign website.

[operationphotoshop]

how do i end the game when a) i run out of lives and b) i break all the blocks?

[yourgamedesign]

@operationphotoshop You should use either the End game action or the Go to room action. Use a Test Lives to check when lives hit zero and then end the game (or send back to a menu). Take a look at the Adding more levels guide on YourGameDesign website for more hints.

[operationphotoshop]

@yourgamedesign thanks! I'm still new to this program so i don't know much about it.

[bjornar1999]

the time line button is not with me :( please reply

[basketballdude138]

i have a problem if i set the end step so that if i go under 1 life it shows highscore table and then restarts the ball wont move and the bat ownt move

[yourgamedesign]

@basketballdude138 I'm not sure what is wrong but try using the Restart game action instead.

[pwnstylz]

@yourgamedesign where do i put it

[MrAlexanderHoff]

This was very helpful, thanks for making it.

But I will change the speed of the bat, it is way to slow(lol).

[roberto218218]

thx man! good turorial

[judegines]

can you appear a background once all the stones are gone? like when you beat the game, the background changes reveal a hidden message?

[yourgamedesign]

@judegines You could send the user to the next room (Go to next room action) and have a message there.

[judegines]

@yourgamedesign ok thanks. :D but i have another problem. how can you reset the bat when the ball collides at the "die" object?

[yourgamedesign]

@judegines There is an action called Move to start (or something close to that). It will return the object to its starting point.

[XxDahamonnahxX]

@judegines do the same thing with the bat

jump to start

[player11421]

can not add more levels to play?

[yourgamedesign]

@player11421 Hi! You can use a Test Score action to tell if a certain score has been reached and let the following action be a Go to next room.

[Kerelkneus]

Thx!

Its a realy cool game!

[zoranhacker]

it's cool and also simple to create

[rotsebanotman]

and also, when i run out of lives, it starts going to minus lives, how can i prevent that and then it would say GAME OVER.

and another thing, when i open up the game, the ball drops down so quickly, right when i start the game!!!

plzz help!!

[Prototype60]

@rotsebanotman

1.Add a Step event

2.Put in it "Test Lives"

3.value: 1 operation:smaller than

4.Put in the Step Event after that "Destroy Instance"  xSelf

____

Watch this Video again!

/watch?v=xXXmhjwss6Q&feature=i­v&annotation_id=annotation_666­193

[rotsebanotman]

once the game is over, it keeps on going but without blocks... how can i make it say

good job, or game over??

[yourgamedesign]

@rotsebanotman You can use Check Score action. It's found under the Score actions. You can add Check score to pretty much any type of event. I sometimes do it in an object with no graphics that just sit in the level and check for certain events to happen. With it you can send the player to a Game Complete room. To make a Game Over use the Check lives action instead and then use the Hiscore action + the restart game action (in a block element (found under Control actions)).

[nar4tt]

dude ... you have no idea how fucking fun was that ;D Amazing tutorial your awesone and THNX (Y)

[nocll23]

THX MAN THX THX!!

[BelfastBeatz]

@yourgamedesign where can i get the timeline button if its already not on my GM page??? please answer some 1????

[yourgamedesign]

@BelfastBeatz Hi! Set GM to Advanced Mode in the menus. Should fix it.

[joflano]

@BelfastBeatz set to advanced

[bahamasartits]

thx for the tutorial dude but is there a way to make the game end once u die?

[yourgamedesign]

@bahamasartits Insert a Check score action and make the following action a block with Show Hiscore + Restart game.

[zhir96]

thanks man!

[orcmansabre]

@yourgamedesign where can i find check score?

[yourgamedesign]

@orcmansabre It's found under the Score actions. You can add Check score to pretty much any type of event. I sometimes do it in an object with no graphics that just sit in the level and check for certain events to happen.

[Samiam10100]

@yourgamedesign Hey, after the ball hits the green block once and tries to hit the same green block again, the ball just goes through it and nothing happens. It does that will all of the green blocks. Help!

[orcmansabre]

@yourgamedesign , you can help me? when I have destroyed all the rocks path does not end and you can help me how I go to the next room

[yourgamedesign]

@orcmansabre Hi! You can use a Check Score action to tell if a certain score has been reached and let the following action go to the next room.

[orcmansabre]

yourgamedesign , can help me? when I have destroyed all the rocks path does not end and you can help me how I go to the next room

[paso841]

I Dont Have A timeline

[yourgamedesign]

@paso841 Go to the menus and swith to Advanced mode.

[LyricVids11]

How can you make it change to the next level after destroying all the green and yellow stones? please help

[yourgamedesign]

@LyricVids11 You could always make a Check score action and go to next level when the score goes beyond a certain point.

[rotsebanotman]

@yourgamedesign

wats a check score and where do u find it??!!

[rotsebanotman]

@LyricVids11

what did u write?

[ramp01821]

when i destroy a stone i take plus 10 to my score but when i dostroy the second stone i do not get plus points to my score pls help me



[yourgamedesign]

@ramp01821 Make sure that you set the +10 score to Relative. Otherwise it will always just set the score to 10.

[Maevelovebee]

i want to say a huge thank you, i needed this fotr my it homework and i was in trouble before this, ur really good at explaining this and its very clear. thanks again

[xiocx1]

AwEsOmE

[KeGiJa]

awesom!!!! i create it......THAK YOU!!!!

[krich451]

great tutorial everything works fine but how would i add a level 2?

[yourgamedesign]

@krich451 You need an action from Control called Test instance count. Use this to test wether there are any bricks left to hit. If none are left go to next room.

[oldtimegamelover]

I don't know where to click to create a new timeline, its not on it for me. Please help.

[Maevelovebee]

@oldtimegamelover

you must be on simple mode, i had the same thing. What you must do is save your game as it is and then go into file and click on advanced mode and it will altomatically change from advanced to simple more. Then you simply open up your game maker file and all your objects, sprites etc. will stil be there.

hope this is helpful

[TheEthanedd]

why do the lives go into negitive mumbers?
