Videos code:
Create event:
hitTime = round(1.8 * 60);
hitTimer = hitTime;
Step event:
// time total for being hit/invulnerable
hitTimer--;
if(hitTimer < 0){
hitTimer = hitTime;
hitBlinkTimer = hitBlinkTime;
image_alpha = 1;
state = "idle";
}
#region collisions
var collInstance = collision_rectangle(bbox_left,bbox_top,bbox_right,bbox_bottom, obj_Enemy_Bullet_Parent, 0,0);

if(collInstance != noone and state == "idle"){
state = "hit";
}

#endregion

What are your thoughts on the newly introduced "move_and_collide()"? Does it fully replace old collision detection method with place_meeting() in your opinion?

[@1upIndie]

It is one of the best additions to the engine. It pretty much reduces tons of code for all directions and you can use it for tilesets and instance collisions. I personally love it. Will is replace all collision codes? Nah, there are still things you need to do manually, but for basics topdown movement or a platformer it is a god send (so here, yes it replaces it and makes it more convenient).

@@1upIndieThanks, are there any use cases in a platformer that it won't support fully?
