This is a 6 part series showing you how to make an RPG, good luck! There are TWO VERSIONS of this "Part 1!" This version takes it a bit slower and is aimed at people who've pretty much never used GameMaker, or aren't very confident in navigating it. If you've looked at another basic tutorial before you're probably fine watching the other one instead, it should be right after this one in the playlist!

For anyone wondering how to make WASD movement instead of the arrow keys, simply replace them with the letters like this: right_key = keyboard_check(ord("D")); left_key = keyboard_check(ord("A")); up_key = keyboard_check(ord("W")); down_key = keyboard_check(ord("S")); if you want both to work just like I did, just put the "||" symbol, which means "or", between one and another like this: right_key = keyboard_check(ord("D")) || keyboard_check(vk_right); left_key = keyboard_check(ord("A")) || keyboard_check(vk_left); up_key = keyboard_check(ord("W")) || keyboard_check(vk_up); down_key = keyboard_check(ord("S")) || keyboard_check(vk_down);

for those very new to gamemaker studio2 (me included) if your grid doesn't fit your players as they spawn at the top left section of the grid. Go to your room and beside the grid icon there would be a down arrow button press it and change the number 32 to 16 and that should work. Nobody is probably gonna see this, but it's pretty helpful to me, just want to share it. Also, here's a sprint script that I made up took me forever, but thanks to this tutoriel at least I know how to do it: sprint = keyboard_check(vk_lshift) if sprint == true { move_spd = 3 } if sprint == not true { move_spd = 1.5 }

God this is the exact tutorial i've been needing. Every other one i've seen just jumps straight into game making process without explaining anything because i guess they assume you've made games before but on a different engine or something. This is actually a step by step breakdown of not just the 'how' but everything else as well. Thank you!

@jmott458 Жыл бұрын

After watching the instructor on the game maker YT channel and then watching you, I have this much more ingrained in my head. He is very thorough and good at explaining it but how you explain it helps the information sink in better for me. So thank you very much for the great explanation on this! I only did two classes of coding in college and that was web design so these tutorials are helping me remember how to do it plus more!

@lavendeereatingreens 5 ай бұрын

I remember trying to make a game with these tutorials in a school holiday break. I spent a month working on it before I broke Gamemaker itself (don't ask me how) and the project wouldn't open. Now I'm back to try again with a new laptop, and this music brings back so much nostalgia. I love the down-to-earth way you explain it, as if you're really talking to someone. It feels like it stretches on a bit sometimes, but in a good way, like you're actually explaining the concept instead of just reading off a script. I've never been more excited about making a thing run into walls. Thanks for the tutorial! Moving on to the next one.

For everyone having problems with the wall collisions not working going up and down. This works: if place_meeting(x + xspd, y, obj_wall) == true { xspd = 0; } if place_meeting(x, y + yspd, obj_wall) == true { // changed second argument to y yspd = 0; } x += xspd; y += yspd;

To anyone whose sprite can phase through walls: This is a quick and simple fix, get your wall object and open it, then insert a "Collision" event, (not begin or end, just Collision) and use block code. Then enter a speed set block and have the speed set as 0. Then, go to the property window for the wall object, and make sure the "Solid" property is checked. There's your fix!

Loved your way of explaining things! Talking about collisions...i still dont get the difference between making/not making the obj_wall solid ( flagged ) and if the event " collision " could be used for blocking the player or if it useless :S

@peytonburnham4316 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you! And we basically dont use the collision event and the built in “solid” since the collision functions are much more versatile! For example functions are better for checking collision *if* the player were in a certain spot vs only checking where the play currently is!
