Silly me. I forgot to destroy the grid_ data structure in the Clean Up Event. I'll be adding that at the start of part 2. Until then, I highly recommend you all do it yourselves :)
can you add item spawning in the random world, in a following tutorial ???? and / or structure spawning like i can make a dungeon and it will be places far from eatch other in the random world???
Can you Please add in items and enemys that will randomly generate in the room, and is a finish or a room end or something like that possible too? :D thanks a lot!
Hey HeartBeast, just wanted to let you know that your tutorials helped me win a Hackathon at my university, I got a small scholarship and a job interview thanks to you!
I've been holding off on tackling autotiling myself, hoping for the new functionality to arrive - but that Bitmasking stuff is great! Awesome tutorial, as usual :)
Awesome tutorial. It would be awesome to get a follow up for random level generation using chunks or a similar system to Spelunky, where there are pre-designed "rooms" randomly placed around the game room. I would love to see HeartBeast do this! Or a follow up that puts simple enemies in this random level generator
Amazing job Benjamin! I've been working on level generation module for your udemy course game. I was excited when i saw you made new video. It helped me refactor my code and use new better methods for autotiling! Keep up the good work, I'll always support you :)
It's interesting but I gotta say I have a couple issues with the way you're doing it: 1) Doing something to prove it works then undo it is counter productive I'd say. We trust you, don't worry, just do your thin. 2) Also, this video was a little too much "copy-pastey", we just follow and copy the code. I like your "mini challenges" and I definitely missed them here. But all in all, neat video, thanks for doing it! :)
Ah, that's awesome ! It's really gonna help me to build levels for my project, thank you. Altho, is it possible for objects that are not tiles (trees and rock for example) to be placed at random inside the cells ?
Gah! I know this video is years old but I really can't get this to work. I downloaded the file, tested yours and it works fine. Even attempting to copy the work over from yours to my game just breaks it entirely and it stops working. I have looked through every single line and character and I have no idea why it's doing this, I'm sad and frustrated. I don't know if I'm just stupid or blind and can't seem to notice the issue. My DS grid is being initialized but nothing seems to update it. Was there a change that I would have to work this into the Step function or should it still work in the Create? I have no idea what's going on and my brain hurts!
@wynniechan3366 I know it's been a year since you posted this, but do you remember what was wrong? I can't find any videos explaining random generation that isn't just using a sold product and following along with this tutorial doesn't work.
i know im a few years late but in the NORTH * _north_tiles ect. section i keep getting this error plz help Object: Obj_level Event: Create at line 51 : unexpected symbol "*" in expression
This method doesn't seem to be working right for me. The Wall tile set isn't drawing like it does for you. So all the levels I create just look like a mess instead of having defined walls. I'm sure it's something I did, just have to skim through my code and look for a mistake.
how'd you make the wall tiles? I tried comaring your floor tilemap with the bitmask tutorial tilemap structure, couldn't find much correlation with the last few tiles..
I think I'll just use an array or use a switch statement style random chunk load system where I can use functions to make this kind of random generation easier to deal with.
Is it difficult to try to convert the code in Gamemaker studio 2 into code that's compatible with Gamemaker studio 1.4.x? Sorry if this is a stupid question, I just want to be able to use some of these gm2 tutorials.
Hi HB, I just started trying to code with this video (yes I know this tutorial isn't for beginners but I really wanted to create a bullet hell roguelike) and when I try to run the game at at 21:23 it loads but then comes up with a white code error window that says this: FATAL ERROR in action number 1 of Create Event for object o_level: Variable o_level.grid_(100005, -2147483648) not set before reading it. at gml_Object_o_level_Create_0 (line 10) - ds_grid_set_region(grid_, 0, 0, width_, height_, VOID); stack frame is gml_Object_o_level_Create_0 (line 10) I really wanted to get around this. Excuse my noobiness. I'd really like your help! Thank you!
Can anyone tell me how to random respawn enemies outside the walls? Usually we use place_meeting but this random level generation did not contain a "wall" object. In addition, grid_place_meeting works only if we put a object in argument, which not meet my need because I should pick a x&y to check the collision and then spawn the enemies. Thank you guys
You can add wall objects and use those for collisions instead of tile collision. Just place a wall in the same loop as the tile placement. Then you can use the walls to check for an empty space beside themselves and have a chance to spawn an enemy
Nice tutorial man, just wanna point out that you could`ve put line 62 in the `else` block of the conditional @ line 52, making the second double `for` loop useless and the whole thing a lot lighter.
Question: Is this the new method for making macros in GMS2? You have to make a script and type #macro? Or is this one of the methods you can use to make macros?
Pretty much, only it will be much better (using bitwise operators for collisions). Tiles are quite different in GMS 2 and I've gotten lots of questions on my old series, that is why I made this video.
It's not necessarily remembering every single line of code, it's just thoroughly understanding the code, so when he wants to write it again, he has the understanding of what to do.
thank you so much for the video HeartBeast! I was wondering if you could make a video on how to make a high score that saves, so Evan when you exit the game your high score will still be saved. thanks!
I bought your course on your website. Are you gonna update that one to the state of the udemy course? because other wise that would be pretty unfair to sell an unfinished course.
HeartBeast I meant the rpg course from the thumbnail. I am only 36% through the course, just wanted to make sure that they are the same. Great work btw!
That’s going to take place in the loop. After you add the wall tiles, set a one time variable to set 1 exit object. It’ll take place in the same loop as the tile placement
var exit_placed = 0; in the wall place loop: var place_object = SOUTH*south_tile + 1 if place_object == 1 { if place_exit == 0 { instance_create_layer(x_*CELL_WIDTH+CELL_WIDTH/2,y_*CELL_HEIGHT+CELL_HEIGHT/2,"Level",obj_exit); place_exit = 1; } }
Guys if you are interested in learning a lot, i gotta say you should take Benjamins Udemy course, by far its been amazin no bullshit and even thoe its still not completed, there are some future lectures that will be amazin and i bet it would help a lot of you are even a medium lvl dev with gms2
I think that he does it only as a precaution to not have Gamemaker confuse it with some built-in function such as x, y, image_angle, direction, etc:) Vars can't have the same name as built-in functions.
Here is the link to the original series: ruclips.net/video/TZtMNnXFnHE/видео.html Some things about it are old and could be improved (you could use the code from the old one as a base but then upgrade the collisions and tile logic using bitwise operators and bitmasking)
There is a trick you can do to make it more dungeon like. Every time you change direction you can draw a square room of tiles in-front of direction. Room such as 20 by 20.
@@CoffeeAI201 hello :D what sort of tweaks are needed? trying to get it to work and getting pretty stuck would really appreciate some tips if you have time :))
Look, this might have nothing to do with the concept of the video, but for some reason I find it mildly interesting that the video has 1.3k likes and 13 dislikes.

for the moment it's working with the trial version of Game Maker
Happy to see this in GMS2 :)
Can you use the "Controller" to place objects?
How do I always create from the middle to the edges of my room? I don't want the rooms to be generated by the corners
i know im a few years late but in the NORTH * _north_tiles ect. section i keep getting this error plz help

Great tutorial! this helped me a lot with my roguelike game :)
this isnt working for me. idk why.
I dont get any errors it just dont show the tiles :(

Two years late, but did you find out? :D
Hi thanks for the tutorial, what variables would I change to make it 64 by 64 instead of 32?
Instead of o_level, can I create a script and run the script when needed instead?
how'd you make the wall tiles? I tried comaring your floor tilemap with the bitmask tutorial tilemap structure, couldn't find much correlation with the last few tiles..
Awesome tutorial. Thanks for your effort 😀
I think I'll just use an array or use a switch statement style random chunk load system where I can use functions to make this kind of random generation easier to deal with.
How do you do at 26:56 to comment all those lines so fast????
mayathemaster control + k
OMG, this is so useful !
What if i have 8bit tileset? It actually doesnt work, i tried to set array for all indexes of tiles, but i dont know how to find them later.
I followed this to the second and couldn't for the life of me figure out why it wasn't working.....
I was spelling grid wrong the whole time lmao.
Could you also do choose(0, 90, 180, 270) instead of doing irandom(3) and then multiplying by 90?
Is it difficult to try to convert the code in Gamemaker studio 2 into code that's compatible with Gamemaker studio 1.4.x? Sorry if this is a stupid question, I just want to be able to use some of these gm2 tutorials.

I never left ;)
Just in time to help me with my project! :D
when ever i try to start up the game it says "tilemap_set()couldn't find specified tilemap" and a map wont appear. can you help me?
Will it work with a collision? And play as a top down shooter?
How would we go about integrating this into the ARPG course?

why do i keep having diagonal maps, please help me out
Its awesome !Could you show how to create a random generation like in the terraria?
P.S ty for your lessons
Question: Is this the new method for making macros in GMS2? You have to make a script and type #macro? Or is this one of the methods you can use to make macros?
Isaiah Butler It is new to GMS 2
Ah okay. Thanks
Will this series cover the same material as the Gamemaker 1 random generation series?
Pretty much, only it will be much better (using bitwise operators for collisions). Tiles are quite different in GMS 2 and I've gotten lots of questions on my old series, that is why I made this video.
I don't understand how you remember all of this code. : (
Practice. And also they usually have a reference project on the other screen.
It's not necessarily remembering every single line of code, it's just thoroughly understanding the code, so when he wants to write it again, he has the understanding of what to do.
Hes a robot
thank you so much for the video HeartBeast! I was wondering if you could make a video on how to make a high score that saves, so Evan when you exit the game your high score will still be saved. thanks!
Save it in a data structure and write it too a INI
Would this system work with a 2d FPS style game like doom?
Can you make it in drag and drop version?
Great tutorial man!!
What do you mean - can't do in runtime?
could you do a tutorial on enemies attacking from afar please?
Followed along and got to the end product, still mega confused; looks like I need to brush up on some new things. Thanks for the video anyways!
mine don't work... any suggestions?
I bought your course on your website. Are you gonna update that one to the state of the udemy course? because other wise that would be pretty unfair to sell an unfinished course.
Clytax which course? All the courses on my site have the same content as on Udemy.
HeartBeast I meant the rpg course from the thumbnail. I am only 36% through the course, just wanted to make sure that they are the same. Great work btw!
Yup. They will always have the same content :)
HeartBeast and when will the "saving and loading" part come?
Does anyone know how you would make a randomly generating exit door?
That’s going to take place in the loop.
After you add the wall tiles, set a one time variable to set 1 exit object.
It’ll take place in the same loop as the tile placement
var exit_placed = 0;
in the wall place loop:
var place_object = SOUTH*south_tile + 1
if place_object == 1
{
if place_exit == 0
{
instance_create_layer(x_*CELL_WIDTH+CELL_WIDTH/2,y_*CELL_HEIGHT+CELL_HEIGHT/2,"Level",obj_exit);
place_exit = 1;
}
}
Am i allowed to use this sprite?
Is it possible to follow along with Game Maker 1?
The first version of this was in GMS1. Check it out: ruclips.net/p/PL9FzW-m48fn2gQVYFxDzq4cz2A4uGWusx
Sooo does it work on the trial? I don’t have the money to buy the full Game maker studio 2
LivelyMehOtaku Z like I said. I don't know. You just have to try it.
Alright I will do that
seems the system is using the wrong tiles to fill in the floor :/
I did not understand much but I will save this vid for later
Guys if you are interested in learning a lot, i gotta say you should take Benjamins Udemy course, by far its been amazin no bullshit and even thoe its still not completed, there are some future lectures that will be amazin and i bet it would help a lot of you are even a medium lvl dev with gms2

working in gamemaker studio 1.4?
What the difference between irandom and random?
super late but irandom uses integers
I'm telling Ariak! (just kidding ^^. Nice video)
Tony Stroemsnaes Ssssshhhhhh!
My level generation is weird:
They often small and their rooms aren't united, I mean there are two rooms with not any ways to unite
x2
2:46 for people who are not here to learn ;)
Why you write vars with underscore?
I think that he does it only as a precaution to not have Gamemaker confuse it with some built-in function such as x, y, image_angle, direction, etc:) Vars can't have the same name as built-in functions.
This is awesome, but is it compatible with Game Maker v1.4?
Relja Vasic I have an older version of this series that was done in GMS 1.4
oh alright, thanks for the info
Here is the link to the original series: ruclips.net/video/TZtMNnXFnHE/видео.html
Some things about it are old and could be improved (you could use the code from the old one as a base but then upgrade the collisions and tile logic using bitwise operators and bitmasking)
will do, thanks :)
I am breaking my head, trying to create one in unity, I love that it is 2d, but adding some shadows and details, it makes me feel that it is 3d.
There is a trick you can do to make it more dungeon like. Every time you change direction you can draw a square room of tiles in-front of direction. Room such as 20 by 20.

2.3 working?
