    I’m working with a group of 8th graders trying to learn how to use Game Maker. We successfully completed the first tutorial (fruit game). Now we are completely stumped on the scrolling shooters game. Do you have any ideas or tutorials that can help us?

    I’m an absolute novice at this. The kids have good intuition though and I’d like for them to continue to try to create their own games without getting frustrated.

    Here are some of the problems we’re having:
    Cannot get the explosion object to disappear once it appears
    Confusion on the drawing of life and health – I’ve done it twice but I cannot get anything to change.
    Once we kill our enemy planes, we cannot figure out how to get them back.
    Can reset the game when we die, but it starts over instead of using the set lives
    Confused about the set paths part of the tutorial for the enemy planes.

    Sorry I know this seems like a lot and it is. It seems like there is a huge learning curve between tutorials numbers one and two.

    Any assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated!
    Thank you for your time

    I’ve got some problems with my levels. I have an upgrade game where you are in a spaceship and shoot asteroids. The game works fine until I get to level 10. You complete level 9 and go to the upgrades room. After a few seconds in the room (or maybe if it is when you upgrade something, I haven’t figured it out) the level variable dissapears. I ran it in debug mode to watch it, and when it got to the room, it took it off of the list. Then when you go to the level, it takes you to level 10, but the view is screwed up, because it is in the right place, but you don’t see it in the right place. It is hard to understand, and I will probably have to just give somebody the game to figure it out. Please help if you can.

  • Umsy

    Scrolling shooters, eh
    To solve your problems do this:
    1. For explosion to disappear once it appears u need to go to your explosion obj. and put an ‘animation end’ event and tell it to destroy the instance.
    2. In your controller life obj., or whatev it is, put in a ‘draw’ event and tell it to draw a health bar and draw lives as images. Set the x and y values to whatev u want but make sure it’s not relative.
    3. To get a plane back after it’s destroyed go to your enemy plane obj., create a ‘step’ event, put in a test variable with variable y, value room_height and larger than. Then put a jump to position in with x as random(room_width) and y as -20 (not relative).
    4. Am confused with this one.
    5. Don’t know about set paths.

    Hope dis helps.

  • Umsy

    BTW Can anyone tell me how to continue health, score and lives onto the next level/room.

    pls help

  • Anonomous

    @Umsy i don’t think their is anyway to do that unless you code a script to make a player lose lives and it detects it so it carries on to the next level such as this quick code i wrote up:

    if (health_points == 10)
    {

    my_color = c_green;
    show_message(“You are at full health”);

    }

    else if (health_points <=10)

    {
    my_color = c_red;
    show_message("You are almost dead");
    }

    else show_message("You are dead");

    but thats what you would want but you would have to edit it to make it whatever your life works in the game or you could just add a total amount of health points and use my code.

  • Soul collector maker
