Cross posting

Maybe I'm just dumb.

I have a class called Paddle, which I use to generate an object called paddle.

I have another class called Ball. I want a function in ball that puts the location at the middle of the paddle. I can't use the object paddle to reference it though (to find where the paddle is on the screen). Why not?

c# btw.

Sounds like your Ball doesn't have a reference to Paddle, which it probably shouldn't

I'd make a third object called Level, and give it references to both Ball and Paddle, and when the game is reset, Level is the entity that moves Ball into position above Paddle or whatever you're doing

If you're using Unity you can give things references to other things by putting

public Ball theBall;

inside a script, then after you save and switch back to the editor, it'll chug for a moment and recompile, and then what ever script you added that line to, will have an entry in the inspector called TheBall, which now you have to drag your ball gameobject onto.

Theres other ways to do it but theyre probably too advaced for babbys first project, no offense

I have a small problem with my game, so I thought maybe someone here could help me.
There is this parallax map, a couple of transparent layers in PNG but when they start moving it looks like this. Buildings that should be in the background are overlapping with buildings in front of them. I think the problem is with VBOs and the way SDL2 handles them but I'm not sure. Any ideas how to fix it?

GetMouseButtonDown() is updated every Frame and Addforce() doesn't set the velocity but adds a force that pushes your body using physics.
physics should be manipulated in FixedUpdate() but the problem here is that FixedUpdate() might miss the Frame your MouseButtonDown() got registered, so you should remember in a variable that your mouse got pressed and reset it when it got processes by your FixedUpdate

>>148167323
This first is probably more in line how it will appear in the actual game(emo haircut was just a response for you).

Each mech will have a nanite flow with which they can invest into additional modules and weapons. Because the legs are on the side and there's ground below the only real option is to build straight up. So all guns, launchers and shield generators will be stacked on top the existing base fortress. Some might appear as auxiliary slots behind but overall the better a mech/fortress is the taller its core will be. Which also happens to makes it an easier target.

>Why shouldn't the class Ball have reference to the object paddle?
Personal preference, objects shouldn't 'know about' things they arent directly concerned with, but it depends on where you do your collision checking

Where are you creating your ball and paddle objects?

as long as the Ball class has
public Paddle paddle;

just go
Ball ball = new Ball()
Paddle ThePaddle = new Paddle()
ball.paddle = ThePaddle;

The advantage of this is becoming more familiar with retard-proof designs. Specifically well made intuitive designs. The next thing you make will be even more resilient to their stupidity, so that kind of makes it worth slogging through it.

Evolved a creature with an additional fitness constraint today - floor is lava, essentially. Touching the blue root block to the ground costs a huge amount of energy, and it kills the creature almost instantly.
I was already hoping for something with actual limbs, but I guess true walking can't really evolve before I put some balance and contact sensors into their brains.

I guess my big problem is I don't understand how gameobjects in unity are actually supposed to interact with each other in any meaningful/performant way, all I can come up with is a higher level object that stores references to everything and does it procedurally, but then how do you build the references?

I don't know how I'm supposed to organize shit either, do I make a ton of subobjects? a single massive behaviour per thing? I just don't know.

OOP just encapsulates things away from you being able to use them I guess

Dungeon Break dev here.

Anyone have any experience with creating basic 3D models for Game Maker: Studio?

I've been working on some Star-Fox-esque space segments between the planets you explore in my Space Jam entry (which is in 2D otherwise), and I do not know where to begin with texturing this spaceship.

This ship is super simple, and basically my first 3D model ever, but I have no idea how to go about making a texture for it. I tried to bake a UV mesh thing in Blender, but I must've done something wrong because I wound up with an unintelligible mess of hundreds of triangles, which can't be right, given this ship has like 8 shapes.

I'd appreciate any help, or if someone who's way better than me at 3D wants to help with 3D models, I'd be down for that. I really just need the player ship and maybe an enemy ship, literally no more detailed than this, since its a Star-Fox-esque game.

Appreciate it in advance.

yeah, it should be possible to optimize their bodies like that, at least. I could start with a single seed input into the network, run it through a bunch of hidden layers and generate several hundred values to be used as body genes on the other side. After calculating fitness, I could tweak the hidden layers with backprop.
Same with the walking, optimize the net that outputs muscle activations.
I'm also planning to put a reinforcement learning layer on top of the neural network at some point, so the creatures could learn several behaviours, but that's gonna take a while yet.

Does anyone have any advice for having solid collision detection for top down games that point towards the mouse? (game maker)

I'm still getting caught on edges, corners, normal walls, everything under the sun, etc, when changing angles and moving. I've tried using precision collision. I've changed the mask of my sprites from precise to a perfect circle. I've tried using collision_circle to ensure that nothing jagged could get stuck. I've made my own system and I've tried some on the internet. I've even remade my movement system in desperation. I have no idea how to get this working.

Any advice, please?

I don't understand your question animegirl.

Unity objects are just like that, objects. You should use them like you'd use a standard OOP object if that's your thing.

There are features, just use them.

I'm not using solids. I'm using a parent object for my walls and such.

>>148174272
Give a collider and a script to a game object. Whenever it crashes into something it does whatever it's supposed to do.

Or if you have a lot of shit on screen at the same time you write an overseer class that probes their state and can affect all of them at the same time in a coordinated fashion.

What are you trying to do rly?

Ignore the shitposting regarding Game Maker and image_angle.

What kind of terrain are you dealing with? Block/straight walls? Curves? All kinds of freeform terrain?

How precise/realistic do you want physics to be in this game?

>>148175767
>>148175942
Aren't projectors a better alternative?

>>148175594
use simple masks like circle or diamond.
use the draw event to draw whatever you want at whatever angle you want.
if you completely need to have your object have more complex mask, you can keep using image_angle, but whenever you change it, make sure to check whether or not the object is inside a terrain object and "unstuck" it through pushing it out of the terrain (some basic trigonometry and a while loop could do the job). also, when you change the position, make sure the object can't get stuck too.
also, keep in mind you can effectively separate the object mask from terrain collision checking through using the collision_shit functions

At the moment all the terrain is rectangular. I'm not sure if I'm going to end up making it any more complex, but I may decide to make collision with enemies which will end up including circles. I don't really have any physics to speak of. It's just a simple top down game, you know basic movement and smooth collision. Don't even really have any friction or acceleration on the player.

>>148176120
Thanks, but that's what my biggest problem is at the moment. I've done both a perfect circle for my collision mask as well as collision_circle when that didn't work. I'm not sure why I'm getting caught on walls even though the mask/collision check should be silky smooth.

Flappy birds is popular and it's a game you could make in an afternoon.

>>148176953
You're caught up in the jam mentality because you don't want to face actual content-dev.

>>148176953
Just work on them a little longer. Make them prettier or add a gimic/mechanic.

>>148176953
make a game design document first off
once you have that things get a little clearer and not so open ended

>>148176641
the problem could be that likely you do detect the collision properly, but you do it "after the fact" when the object is already in the terrain
if you use the default hspeed/vspeed/speed/direction variables, the position is updated between step and end step. if you don't use collision event for the check, use end step to check whether or not the object is inside the terrain and if it is, push it out of it. if you do use the collision event, it's actually called before the position is updated, so you'd have to do it the other way - push the object to the edge of the terrain (but precisely enough so that it doesn't actually overlap it).
if you change the position differently (for example using your own motion variables in step or end step), again there are different ways to tackle it. you could perform the check "predicting" where the object could go in the next frame and simply not go if that would result in getting stuck or you could perform the checks after the movement and push it out of terrain if necessary.

>>148176641
Your terrain should be your main concern with collisions. If your terrain is all rectangular at the moment, and you don't think you're going to make it more complex, then you're just making things way more difficult than they need to be.

I assume that you're only moving in cardinal directions, right? Just WASD-ing around while the player always faces the mouse?

Just give your player a movement speed variable for x and y, xms/yms or moveHor/moveVert or whatever. If you're pressing a movement key, the movement speed variable for that direction gets set to whatever you want your players movement speed to be.

So if you're moving left, that'd be negative whatever your max move speed is. Right would be positive, etc.

You can make another local variable to store this, maxSpeed or mxms or what have you, so you can alter his max move speed on the fly for sprinting/crawling.

Then in a Step Event, just have a two part movement script:

Check if he can move horizontally.

if place_free(x+xms){
x+=xms;}
if place_free(y+yms{
y+=yms;}

Simple rectangular collisions. If your guy can move horizontally he will. If he can move vertically, he will.

You could obviously spruce this code up with making your character slowly speed up to max speed, move to pixel-perfect collisions when you hit a wall, etc.

This method also assumes you're using Solid objects. If you're using just wall parent objects, then you'd use instance_place(x+xms,obj_solid) or whatever instead.

Can you speak more about that? Or somewhere I can go read about it?

Oh no you lazy animegirl I'm not thinking of your code design for you.

But one thing, having a "superobject" will just be painful for you later, even more if you don't have any idea on how you're going to implement things so there are going to be changes.

Just keep it simple. One hiecharchy for the fleet, one for the planets which may be part of a external, not parent, system, etc.

Someone tried that ways back, I even did a few sprites for it.

I don't think it's going to be coming back, though.

>>148177475
fuck off jamal.

>>148177371
Forgot a parentheses

if place_free(x+xms){
x+=xms;}
if place_free(y+yms){
y+=yms;}

But you get the idea. You could throw in an else{} in there to set xms/yms back to 0 if there is a wall in the way. You'd also want to math your movespeeds if you're moving diagonally so you don't wind up moving faster diagonally. Unless you want that speedrun thing people love so much.

I just wanted to get my blocks to rotate.

NOT LIKE THIS.

>>148176953
Pack all of them in wariowere thing and release it.

>>148177560
Oh for fuck's sake, I can't type code in browser for shit.

Should be place_free(x+xms,y) and vice versa.

Anyway, I've used this system for countless topdown/zelda-style games and it works really well for square terrain.

>>148177395
sord jam when?

>>148177543
I've always thought it'd be a neat idea if AGDG Smash only had their characters from shipped games. So it'd be kind of like a hallmark and goal for devs.

>>148177430
what the fuck is that

>>148176953
Just make something where your in game progress is through playing multiple short quick games in succession.

>made it smaller

Anon you're constantly taking steps towards making it look like less of a moth and i'm disappointing

>>148177440
but I have literally no idea how to think of the code design

>>148177575
keep that for end-levels /random events.

>>148177430
Who cares?
Would tap/10

>>148177709
Plus it would prevent any awkward "character is in the game but the project they're from got abandoned and never finished" scenarios.

Too easy to exploit, although they make fun speedruns.

>spent entire day off designing player ship for shmup
>have one fucking sprite to show for it, not even a good design
I feel so goddamn useless.

>>148178049
i dont like how wide the sprite is. looks awkward, like you have it on the wrong aspect ratio. protip, just because the grid is on 32x32 doesn't mean the character has to be.

i agree with >>148178210
