Out of curiosity why image_speed does it require that you don't manually draw your own sprite?

i guess i could use image_speed as the subimg section of draw_sprite_ext but, lets say i wasnt doing that, and i had a draw step, i would have to draw the sprite manually anyway. if you have a draw step you MUST draw the sprite manually or it just doesnt show up.

either way, i dont like using game makers busted ass built in stuff unless i absolutely have to, and i dont like using underscores.

You can code your own image_speed pretty easily as well. It makes sense that if you use the draw event you have to draw the sprite manually. If you are using other code in the draw event it's pretty easy to toss in draw_self as well. I guess GameMaker has a lot of oddities, but I haven't encountered too much actually busted shit. My biggest annoyance is how easy it is for code in events to get overwritten. Most frustrating thing in the world. The game maker world, at least.

Also, love the arts.

i DO use my own variable for it. thats my point.

draw self only exists as a drag and drop, which ill never use. and draw_sprite doesnt give me enough control, so i use draw_sprite_ext because its badass.

draw_sprite_ext is pretty badass but...

oh whoops looks like its in studio after all, but not in 8.1 or something. okay but its still missing all of the reasons i use draw sprite ext. being able to change the sprite, without changing the mask, is god like and i will do this forever and ever always.

im not going to start using a bunch of built in game maker bullshit no matter what you guys post so you can save yourself some time and just not do that.

That looks like a dangerous game of rock paper scissors.

Also that helmet bob is fantastic.

I don't think he was trying to convince you to use GM stuff. I kind of was at first, but my main motive for that was to understand why you didn't use it in the first place.

Anyways, I have my own drawOwn function as well and I just call it in every object's draw event through drag and drop, so I'm kind of a hypocrite I guess.

And yes, Shelmet is the shit.

sorry for replying to this oldass post

That way you don't ever have to target oMomo, you can just target global.p

tbh i would just use "with" in the actual code rather than the target selector thing. i personally never use that and never even look at it (which is why i guess i couldn't identify the actual problem when i "fixed" your code way back when lol)

ANYWAY, game seems to be coming along nicely, keep it up!

im positive the problem way back when was the same problem i just had, where i clicked a check box on accident and it broke it.

[Rat Casket]

i did some experimenting with weapon clashes and decided to look at samurai gunn to see how beau did it. it is, effectively, how i have mine set up right now. check to see if your hitbox collides with another and then push each other away. to test this i set both player 1 and player 2s attack button to be the same.

as you can see from the gif above, player 1 always seems to have the advantage in these exchanges. no matter what, player 2 is knocked away every single time. it is impossible for both players to be knocked back in samurai gunn. at least in this set up. this can be avoided in a couple of ways but the easiest by far is to make it so both players are knocked back and return to a neutral state (which is how i do it).

also you can see that the weapon clash happens even when you are behind the player. as long as your hitboxes intersect, they completely ignore the hurtboxes. making it impossible to kill someone if your hitboxes are touching at all, regardless of the hurtbox being hit.

personally i think it feels a bit strange to clash from behind, but i agree with the rest of it. ultimately this makes clashing very strong and extremely safe since it completely ignores hurtboxes after colliding with a hitbox. otherwise you end up with weird shit like this, where one player is killed and the other makes it out unscathed. this is also because one player is updating before the other, which effectively gives them that 1 frame advantage over the other. but i fixed that. because its bullshit.

The target selector is used by the with command:

with(global.p1)

which just targets one out of the possible four oMomo objects, instead of this:

with(oMomo)

which would target every instance of oMomo.

oMomo reminds me of my username for an old di-gata online rpg I used to play as a kid.
