Learn to code it yourself through experimentation and ghetto prototypes. No one will ever want to code for you if you don't put in the time to do stuff yourself first.

All of the vanilla code can be copy-pasted as small snippets and have everything you need for this mod. It's a matter of knowing what things do (hence experimentation) and where to apply it.

I'll give you a few examples of useful code snippets to get the ball rolling.
- Most of the weapon user defined 1 events have projectile instance creation, which can be used to create more projectiles after one is destroyed
- Rifle code has hitscan if you ever need that
- Sentry turret code has target lock code and hitscan
- Character obstacle collision code is useful for wheel attacks that roll across the ground
- Infiltrator revolver alarm 1 (iirc) has stuff for melee attack hitboxes

Thanks. But where can I get the code?

You have to order the .gmk files online, right now it's around a 25% off limited time sale making it around $34.99, so I'd hurry up and grab it if you want to start modding soon.

PM me and I'll send you the Paypal site.

You can check the official source via MedO's github
https://github.com/Medo42/Gang-Garrison-2
or you can check in your Gang Garrison folder then go to /Source. The .gmk file should be in there.

You'll need Game Maker 8 Pro in order to open. And since you have the vast repository of "The Internet" at your disposal, I'd encourage you to use it to get Game Maker 8 Pro.

Hey, is there a way to stretch a single slightly transparent pixel over the entire screen?

EDIT: wow, im stupid, this has already been posted like twice in this thread

[RebelINS]

use draw_rectangle. there's a similar code in the menu overlay that darkens the screen.

[uberdeath]

hey, I could really use some programming help for this one problem.

Essentially, I have a piece of code under the step action of an object (object x) that calculates fall damage and subtracts the fall damage from the object's health.

When object x loses health, I want a new object (object y) to be created for a few steps and then be destroyed, while the health stays the same. It's essentially a damage indicator.

I have no clue how to do this!! The way I have it is, the step event of object x creates object y for every single step while object x's health is under 100. I only want object y to appear for a few steps, disappear, and then return the next time object x takes damage.

Can someone please help me out here??

[RebelINS]

Can you post the step event code using the [co de] tags?

[uberdeath]

Code:

health-=FallDamage;

if health < 100 {instance_create(x,y,objecty)}

basically, I want to have the instance objecty created only right after fall damage occurs and then for it to disappear until fall damage occurs again.

as it is now (obviously) the instance objecty is created during every step where health is less than 100.

use an alarm?

[uberdeath]

yeah i could set an alarm but the only problem is i dont know under which event to set it

if i set an alarm when health is lower than 100 then the alarm is set over and over and over for each step

[RebelINS]

I think a better way would be to not delete the object after each pass.

Instead, when you take fall damage, you set a fall damage variable for objecty and also an alarm. After the alarm passes, you can set visible to false.

[uberdeath]

The problem is that objectx's fall damage is calculated in it's step event. For every step that vspeed is over, say, 9, falldamage increases. When there isn't a position free immediately below objectx, falldamage is stored as "playerfalldamage" and then set back to 0.

so if i set a fall damage variable it would have to be in the step event, like this:

Code:

if playerfalldamage > 0 {falldamagevariableforobjecty = true}

And then object y would have something like this in it's step event:

Code:

if falldamageforobjecty = true
{
image_alpha=1
alarm[0]=10
}

The problem is that then, for every step that playerfalldamage is greater than 0, the image alpha is 1 and the alarm is set to 10. So after objectx takes a bit of fall damage, objecty is continually visible and will never disappear.

NEVERMIND I FIXED IT, YAY ME

Sonic class.
Faster than Scout, but has lower HP. M1 spindashes/somersaults (if moving when used)/homing attacks or Insta-Shields (if in the air when used), and he can do damage by jumping. Has no projectiles.

I'm pretty much just thinking out loud to be honest.

[Ignis]

If you like an idea, code and sprite it.
If you can't, this is not the place for your input.
