Don't worry, the challenge gets better, at least through the stage 3 games. Tribute's a huge pile of shit, though, I'll agree there.

This looks really cool! If I could suggest something, I'd like to see a way to draw shapes like in MSPaint or something. Great beta, though! I'll update when I have a chance to import into Game Maker.
PS your english is fine : )

I think we need to change the color on the thread page text, as it's really hard to see against the gray background.

not instance_create(object,x,y)
I guess I should have checked how that function worked. Thanks, sudnep!

« on: November 27, 2015, 09:56:07 AM »Here's a snippet of a basic cannon using alarms: https://klazen.com/gm/QVK
Let me also tell you what's wrong with the code you posted. By default, all alarms start out at 0. Alarms will only trigger if you set them to a value above 0, and then they count down back to 0 later. So, setting alarm[0] to 0 does nothing; the alarm event will never trigger! If you want the alarm to trigger immediately, you can set it to 1.
In your alarm 0 event, you set alarm[1] to 25 three times over, which is unnecessary. The alarm will only trigger once, not three times; that's just how alarms work.
In regards to what Kyir said about emulating alarms yourself, I think which method you use depends on personal preference and context. In one-off objects like this cannon I might prefer to use alarms to keep things simple. In more complex objects, I might prefer to do it manually.
Alright, I understand what you're saying about alarms. However, when I try to implement that code snippet, GMS throws me this error:
ERROR in
action number 1
of Alarm Event for alarm 0
for object objCannon:
Creating instance for non-existing object: 448
at gml_Object_objCannon_ObjAlarm0_1 (line 3) - new_cannonball = instance_create(objCannonBall, self.x, self.y)
I do have an object called objCannonBall, which only deletes upon hitting a block, so I'm perplexed.

Hello! I'm trying to recreate the cannon enemies from I Wanna Be the Aura, but I'm having problems with having them launch projectiles. In my cannon object, I have a create event and two alarms.
Create:
Alarm 0:
Alarm 1:
Creates moving instance of the cannon ball object moving upwards at speed 3
Unfortunately, nothing happens when I run the game. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Create:
Code: [Select]
alarm[0]=0;Alarm 0:
Code: [Select]
var i;
for(i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
alarm[1] = 25;
}
alarm[0] = 100;
Alarm 1:
Creates moving instance of the cannon ball object moving upwards at speed 3
Unfortunately, nothing happens when I run the game. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Wow! I'm only at Tribute because fuck Koffing. I've been grinding out most of the stage 2 games, though, so I'll be moving on pretty quickly once I pass this dumb roadblock. Seriously, fuck Tribute.
