    I know this is old, but to anyone finding this, I suggest you not use set direction and instead just set the "Set Speed" node to type: Horizontal for left and right and type: Vertical for up and down, make the speed negative on UP and Left, so using the variable example in the video, you type "-spd"
    this gets rid of the issue where combining key presses by pressing something like Up then Left/right at the same time can't combine while left then up/down works

    Okay, so, I wanted my character to move diagonally, so I used the jump to point method, which works. However, whenever I try to walk diagonally up against a wall, my character freezes.
    I want to know if there's any way to fix this.

    @Tezzica 5 месяцев назад

    My sprite continues to move with 'set animation speed' at 0. Not sure where I went wrong on following this or if the functionality changed on GM
    /edit: figured it out. my sprite must have glitched on the room after deleting and replacing it on the room, it worked like a charm.

    Nice tutorial. Using this for one of my games, HalfWay. However, I have one thing I'd like to do... Make it to where Jayde (The player) will sit. Seems easy enough. Just have to make it to where when down is pressed he'll play the sitting animation... But one issue I have is that I want him to face the direction he was already facing when standing up... Is there any way to do this?

      Since everyone is being mean let me explain, for each key down, you have to add a key up, that says to set the speed to 0 and anispd to 0 so keydown right keyup right.

    When I hold down the 'right' key for example, my character moves to the right, and then if I press the 'down' key, he moves down even if I am still holding down the 'right' key. This is great, but it does not happen for all the directions. If I hold right and then hold up, the character does not go up until I let go of the right key. I can't figure out where the difference lies. How do I make it so that every key press is like the first example, so that no matter what key I'm holding in, a new direction will be activated when the associated key is pressed?

    • @vampbat
      @vampbat 2 года назад

      It sounds like 8 Directions Movement could help you. Even if you do not want to move diagonally (8), you can tell the program to move as though you only have 4, I believe. If this nice creator doesn't have a video on it yet, the creator FriendlyCosmonaut does.

      @EricGallery  7 лет назад

      If you want to be able to move diagonally by pressing two keys, you will need to use the Jump to Point action. For the Left key, set the x to -4 relative, and x to 0 relative. For Right, x to 4 relative, y to 0 relative. For Up, x to 0 relative, y to -4 relative. For Down, x to 0 relative, y to 4 relative.

    I’m gonna be real here, There are way better tutorials than this most scripts start with this (Not to be rude)
    If (keyboard_check(vk_something)) or you can do “ if (keyboard_check(ord(“Letter”)))
    And under that you do this: Sprite_index = sPlayer etc
    After that: Walkspeed: something.
    And then copy all that and do the same thing. It’s way more simple than this.
    Really hope this helped inexperienced coders and game developers.
    And as he explained it in DND™ || GML is easier for inexperienced coders and game developers
    So I will write the whole code here for the create event.
    Create:
    Image_speed = 0;
    Walkspeed = 3.5; //or lower.
    Next we move on to the step (Feel free to copy and paste this)
    If (keyboard_check(ord(“D”))) {
    x += walkSpeed;
    image_speed = walkSpeed /3;
    sprite_index = ???
    }
    If (keyboard_check(ord(“A”))) {
    x -= walkSpeed;
    image_speed = walkSpeed /3;
    sprite_index = ???
    }
    If (keyboard_check(ord(“S”))) {
    y += walkSpeed;
    image_speed = walkSpeed /3;
    sprite_index = ???
    }
    If (keyboard_check(ord(“A”))) {
    y -= walkSpeed;
    image_speed = walkSpeed /3;
    sprite_index = ???
    }
    And that’s it.
    For collision just add a collision to the player object which is simple
    There will be advanced here soon for platformer lol anyways enjoy this.
    But I know this is a long as hell comment but it’s useful for most starters.
    So you don’t need to like or anything but it’s appreciated so haha please sub at least

Once the toolbox is opened you can delete the DnD instance that appears and it wont effect the movement. I did the rest of the tutorial like this and it worked fine.
