Gameplay & Discussion / Re: Weird bug thing

« on: June 05, 2015, 02:32:49 PM »

I think I've seen this happen on peoples' streams before, but I'm not sure what the problem is. What I would assume based on what I've seen is that it's a failure to play or maybe initialize a sound...?

K2 and NANG are beginner-friendly and advanced needle games. K2 also has some avoidance-ish fights in it, so I'd suggest that if you can play it. If you use windows 8, you can prevent a bug involving K2 by using a fix that's somewhere on this wiki.

Sounds pretty cool! Try your best to make the bosses interesting and have fun attacks, I don't think I'll be able to stand a generic apple boss with raining apples RNG

But now there is the problem with the upward gravity... I tried all the numbers. 0.5, -0.5 and so on. But nothing seems to work.

It sounds like you put the gravity code into the step event where it triggers when the y is above a certain position. Put it in the create event.

Programming Questions / Re: Creating a wave of Bullets?

I would suggest making 2 objects, one for a spawner and one for a bullet.

In the spawner, make an alarm event set for 500 frames. Hopefully you should be able to set an alarm (It's easy, just alarm[0]=500 in the create event)
Put this code in the alarm event:

hspeed=3 (or however fast you want it to move across the screen.);
shoot=1;

Now, create a step event too. In the step event, put this code:

if shoot=1{
instance_create(x,y,object you make for the bullet);
}


Now put the spawner in the bottom left corner and you're done!

For the bullet object, put this in the create event:

vspeed=-3; (or however fast you want it to go up)

And in the step event, put this:

if y<ystart-64{
vspeed=3; (or however fast you want it to go down)
}

And now you should be done! Have fun.

Actually, a ground level triple diamond is possible under some circumstances that I'm not going to mention here in fear of it being used in a future aiwana

Yep. You can see it in action on Hector's video here.

^ Gif of clearing it

Took me like 20 minutes. It was pretty easy. (I updated the gif, too, that means that I actually did it twice)

Oh and also sorry for the loud music, I didn't want silence playing in the stream :c

Programming Questions / Re: Achievement System

« on: May 15, 2015, 03:15:21 PM »

I think you can do something like that with save data. What I would suggest to start with is in the saving/loading scripts, make lines like:

file_bin_write_byte(f,global.achievement[0]);
file_bin_write_byte(f,global.achievement[1]);

That'll make global.achievement into an array so that it has the same variable but with multiple values attached to it.

To load it, do stuff like:

global.achievement[0] = file_bin_read_byte(f);
global.achievement[1] = file_bin_read_byte(f);

Make sure to put each one at the end of the script but before it stops reading the file.

For drawing it, I would suggest a sprite for each achievement(You can do a single sprite but use image/index, of course.)
Make an object for each achievement and have it draw the sprite if global.achievement[achievement number] = 1.

That's how I would do it. Good luck!

Programming Questions / Re: Issue with some menuSelect2 code I didnt change (yuutuu engine)

« on: May 11, 2015, 02:46:36 PM »

Not sure what could have gone wrong, but I'm pretty sure it's saying that because it's thinking that "global.difselect" is a thing in itself and not actually just a global variable "difselect".

Good god, finally. Took me like 3-4 hours for the TAS drop and the ez saves after also took a bit. Either way, happy to finally be back to the game.
