    to be even more convaluded there is Time Source. Which is basically what if someone made a timer script instead of manually doing it.

    Great video! Here's hoping you start doing DnD stuff soon. There's a lot of folks who can't really parse out code due to learning disabilities, but still want to make games.

    • @1upIndie

      Thanks, sadly I have to disappoint you here, there will be no tutorial series on DnD from my side. DnD seems like the easier tool and it is easy to start of with, but once a project gets only a bit more complex it becomes harder to manage. Sadly, if you want to make game nowadays you need to understand the basics of coding. It is the same with learning a language, once you do it enough times it becomes second nature and you don't think about it.
      So if you see yourself making games and don't see yourself programming (totally fine, most people don't really like it), well you don't really need coding on a normal to high level. You can go the game designer (level designer for example, this is a highly searched job) route, artists, marketing or playtester route. And team up with people who have the same dream but different skills set. In the future you will be putting in some promts (like chat gpt) and it will write code/engines for you and you don't need any coding at all, but that will be soonest in a few years.

      ​@@1upIndie I couldn't agree more. The basic knowledge of how to script is essential to being successful in the industry. I'm actually a Triple-A Designer in the industry right now. I'm TERRIBLE at coding but I know the basics of visual scripting (Blueprint, GameMaker DnD, Construct 3, ETC). But if I look at an actual block of code, something in my brain short circuits and I have little/no chance at parsing it out.
      You wouldn't happen to know of a good community of devs that would welcome an outside Designer do you? Every time I try to find one, they are only looking for coders. Which makes sense considering Design is a "Soft Skill" that everyone THINKS they can do well. It's like being funny. Everyone thinks they have the ability to do comedy but if that were true we wouldn't have professional comedians.

      @@GameTesterBootCamp If you are looking for a job opportunity, then from my side I cannot recall any instance of need (besides one argentinian current project and they are super tight on money). You can use my discord channel and ask there or the offical GameMaker discord channel which has more requests on hire/commission work/ collab. So there you might find what you are looking for. Ask around, the more you spread the more is your chance to find an opportunity.
      The question for me is what your end goal is. I am myself an allrounder and always looking for small side hustle/collab (because from experience doing all is way too time consuming), so if you are looking for 50/50 commercial revenue split on a game (Steam, small scope and see if we can work together), we can have a chat (once again, please join my discord if you are serious). Programming would be my strong suit and graphics and design you can take over. But here you would need to provide not "just" the game design part but also graphics. I am currently entangled in 3 games (2 will be released in the next few months, one big one ending in September), so my time is limited.

    So this timer is frame dependant right?

    • @1upIndie
      @1upIndie  Год назад +1

      Both are. The default refresh rate is 60 steps = 1 second. The alarm uses the default setting but the timer is user defined, so here you need to ajust if you change the default setting, Short answer: You are correct, yes :D

      @@1upIndie thank you. I cant wait until you make it. Its driving me crazy. I can do it but it feels like its not the best way. I have different states. My enemy is moving from a block state to a punch state. And during certain frames i want a bool vulnerable to be true, then back to false. I have the parry all done on the main character code. All working great.

    I have the timer starting after a certain event is triggered
    please my friend
    how do I get the timer to stop looping and reset to original time like nothing ever happened. I know timer ++ will go up - but what is the code for timer (stop)? I tried timer +- but obviously that wouldn't work. I tried false but that didn't seem to work either, lemme try false one more time

    • @1upIndie
      @1upIndie  Год назад +2

      Timers are running down all once set, so to stop the alarm from running down you can set it all the time to a high value (so it still runs down but it would take ages to trigger) or once you are in the alarm event you have a varibale (call it let's say stopLooping) that functions like a switch.
      Create event:
      stopLooping = false; // initialise, so that you can use it as a trigger
      Alarm event:
      if(stopLooping == false){ alarm_set(0,90); } // loop when needed, if you set at some point stopLooping = true, then it can't refresh.
      Was that helpful?

      What you are asking for is a hard nut. Nothing that can be made casually. If there would be high demand, I could do a tutorial, but not under 40min.
      So for now, I have to decline you request. Here you can find another youtuber that does what you are looking for -> ruclips.net/video/Hds06We0_g0/видео.html

      Tout d'abord, je ne suis pas sûr de ce que la "maison desi" est / devrait être. Google ne m'a pas aidé là-bas (erreur dans une traduction ?).
      Deuxièmement, dois-je (veulent) contacter la maison desi ?
