Announcements / Re: Country Flags

« on: August 27, 2013, 07:22:49 AM »

Why is this mandatory? I don't think it's a good idea to force someone to show where they live if they don't want to. There's absolutely no point to this other than driving people away from the forums. If I have to hide my flag to proove a point here, I will.

There are alot of forum containing everyone having a country flag, such as osu!. I'm not trying to come of as mean by having you put your flag on your account but it doesn't auto-validate like most forums would due to the host of this forum not being the greatest. Showing your flag doesn't make you more open to "internet attacks" or some stalker may come and find you, but if you have a problem please PM me about it and I will consider it. Now if you will I have to continue adding faces to the forum with you guys knowing...

It's not about you coming out mean. It's a matter of infringing on people's privacy and telling them you will delete their accounts if they don't abide by this pointless rule. There is no reason whatsoever why this should be forced on people and therefor should not be done.

How do you stop the current music?

I'm assuming you want to stop a music using another object.
Simply do this:

with(world){ filePlaying = 0; if SS_IsHandleValid(bgm) = 1 { SS_FreeSound(bgm); } }

I cut off your arms and beat you off the hill with them. You managed to survive without your arms only to find that your family has been brutally sodomised and murdered. You fall into a deep depression and decide to take your life.

My hill apparently.

I'm guessing at least 16 stages 

I think it's mostly gonna come down to how much I can fit in game maker. I think at one point I would have to learn how to load backgrounds externally.

Before getting into IWBTG I used to play that game a lot. (the Fortress Mode at least.)
Just be ready for a really steep learning curve. This game will take quite a while to learn and can be very hard to master. In other words, this game will kick your ass and crush your dreams many times.

The game itself though is very deep and extremely addictive.

I would concider checking out some tutorials on how to get started.

This forum is for our TwitchTV IWBTG fangame community (The Wannabes).
I'm not sure who exacly is hating on this forum, since we have a larger and stronger fangame community than the official forum.

If you're interested in this community then I would point you to our team.

Programming Questions / Re: How do you actually use buttons?

« on: August 14, 2013, 02:39:37 PM »

Alright, I'm going to assume you want spikes to come up and down when you press the button.
You're going to need a couple objects for this.

oButtonSpikeUp1
--------------------
Create Event:
image_speed = 0;
io = 0;
ys = y;
--------------------
Step Event:
if io = 0 { if y > ys { y -= 2; } }
if io = 1 { if y < ys+32 { y += 2; } }
--------------------

oButtonSpikeDown1
--------------------
Create Event:
image_speed = 0;
io = 0;
ys = y;
--------------------
Step Event:
if io = 0 { if y < ys { y += 2; } }
if io = 1 { if y > ys-32 { y -= 2; } }
--------------------

oButtonSpikeUp2
--------------------
Create Event:
image_speed = 0;
io = 0;
ys = y;
--------------------
Step Event:
if io = 0 { if y < ys { y += 2; } }
if io = 1 { if y > ys-32 { y -= 2; } }
--------------------

oButtonSpikeDown2
--------------------
Create Event:
image_speed = 0;
io = 0;
ys = y;
--------------------
Step Event:
if io = 0 { if y > ys { y -= 2; } }
if io = 1 { if y < ys+32 { y += 2; } }
--------------------

oButton
--------------------
Create Event:
image_speed = 0;
io = 0;
--------------------
Collision with Bullet event:
if io = 0 {
image_index = 1;
io = 1;
with(oButtonSpikeUp1){ io = 1; }
with(oButtonSpikeDown1){ io = 1; }
with(oButtonSpikeUp2){ io = 1; }
with(oButtonSpikeDown2){ io = 1; }
} else if io = 1 {
 image_index = 0;
 io = 0;
with(oButtonSpikeUp1){ io = 0; }
with(oButtonSpikeDown1){ io = 0; }
with(oButtonSpikeUp2){ io = 0; }
with(oButtonSpikeDown2){ io = 0; }
}
with(other){ instance_destroy(); }
--------------------


Hope this helps, let me know if something goes horribly wrong.

Programming Questions / Re: How do you actually use buttons?

« on: August 13, 2013, 05:12:51 PM »

Well alright, let's start with something basic then.

Make a object called 'oButton'
The sprite should have 2 frames, on and off.

--------------------
Create Event:
image_speed = 0;
io = 0;
--------------------
Collision with Bullet event:
if io = 0 { image_index = 1; io = 1; }
else if io = 1 { image_index = 0; io = 0; }
with(other){ instance_destroy(); }
--------------------

There you have it, one shootable button.
