if canshoot = 1 {
    if mouse_check_button(mb_left) = 1
    {
        repeat(1) instance_create(x,y-1,oBullet);
        canshoot = 0;
        alarm[0] = 1;
    }
};

Can anyone explain to me why this only works when I'm holding right click as well as left click?

[iLegend]

shouldn't those equal signs be double equal signs? like canshoot == 1
or maybe thats just old habits from other languages and gml being really lenient.

[Catman]

Gamemaker is fine with either

        alarm[0] = 1;

I'd hazard a guess that PlayerControl "clears" the button somewhere but doesn't for right-click.

[Catman]

Looking at the info I get from the mouse_button variable, left click is 1 and right click is 2. When I hold right click it equals two and turns to one when I then hold left click, if I hold left click on it's own it is also one.

When I set up the code to run from 'if mouse_button = 1' it didn't make any difference, it still only worked when I had right click held...

[Catman]

I just realized why this isn't working, I left some code in the draw event of oBullet which makes it only do the checks if right click is held, which is redundant seeing as I spawn that object on left click.

[01:17] <@ajf> this bug was also me being dumb
[01:17] <@ajf> but also GM
[01:17] <@ajf> I mean jesus fuck
[01:17] <@ajf> (0).x
[01:18] <@ajf> should not error that no such variable x
[01:18] <@ajf> it should error that no such object 0

[iLegend]

How do you accidentally type (0).x

[Phantom Brave]

he didn't

[ajf]

he didn't

That code won't actually parse, I think. I was just doing that to mean instance.n where instance = 0.

Drawing text when suddenly gm can't even do that anymore.

You have to round the offsets yourself because babby gm can't even do that for you.

I hit this same problem when making pixel art stuff in other languages because if you don't round the coordinates they'll just anti alias the shit out of it by blurring it between two pixels.
I guess gml doesn't even blur it, it just disappears.

I assume GM usually uses a non-anti-alising rendering thing or just rounds it. Maybe it's actually the former and that's why it fucks up the text.

[iLegend]

does gm even support anti aliasing?

[Catman]

If it does, it might come in handy for making GG2 look decent in full screen
