oh yea and to slayer 64 i edited the code alot because ur code did not have very good calculations for the camera "cc,ss,ccc,sss" so i replaced them but i left cc,ss,ccc,sss but i didnt use it so i also understand all ur code now except idk why im having these problems and im still learning to program i understand all the code idk why im having probs tho

also can some1 plz tell me how to animate by giving me a SIMPLE tutorial / example

PLEASE HELP

ALL HELP GIVEN APPRECIATED (unless it sucks.... lol jk)

let me guess. u used code like this for calculating the projection.

Code:

d3d_set_projection(x,y,8,x+cos(degtorad(MouseHor)),y-sin(degtorad(MouseHor)),8-tan(degtorad(MouseVer)),0,0,1);

yea so maybe u should have left it alone.

so ur telling me to put back cc,ss,ccc,sss as the main calculations?

well, it worked when i had it. but its your game, do what u want. i dont care.

fine then but then after i use them tell me what to do to fix my other problems

Sorry I can't open *.gmk files. If you give me an *.exe I can see what's wrong.

I presume you're going to actually launch a bullet. Why? Unless you're making UT kind of weapon like flak cannon or bio rifle I don't see any reason to actually make a bullet with motion. Actually the motion makes it able to move through things if not done right. You could use instant bullets instead. Just use a for-loop to check for collision and instantly shoot & collide a bullet.

I agree with whatever Phantom says... Ok but you shouldnt give up on the game, It great (except for the errors you listed, of course)

phantom why dont u get gm7 so u can read them u can upgrade so u dont pay

I got my gm6 reg key from a friend.. And I'm not going to pay for GM7 while I can do GM6 for free.

dont be so cheap phantom, dont u want to support game maker? game maker 8 will kick ass if you support it. oh well, i used to use gm6 with a key i found on the internet. lol. its so easy.

Haha yeah I think that friend got the key illegal too. Before I support GM8 I first want to see some major improvements. GM7 was a huge disappointment for me. I want GM8 to run C++. I don't necessarily need shaders and fancy 3d stuff, but GM should speed up one hell of a lot.

ok then is there a gmk to gm6 converter?

ok ok slayer 64 with ur thing alot of things were fixed and i edited some code but now i have only 2 problems.

1.Bullet Doesnt Draw At All
2.Need to learn how to animate things!!!

well make sure the bullet is being created in the right spot. if you dont even see the sparks hitting the wall, then the bullet must be going i the wrong direction or something. draw what these values are up in the corner. and the values of the player.

Code:

draw_text(40,40,string(Bullet.direction));

if you know the bullet is traveling the right direction then make sure your transformation code is right. you don't want code like this.

Code:

d3d_transform_set_identity();

d3d_add_translation(x,y,z);//this moves the bullet to position

d3d_model_draw(model,x,y,z,tex);//these should be 0's not x,y,z

d3d_transform_set_identity();

that code can make the bullet jump WAY off course.

ok screw models ima just use different sprites.....CLOSE THIS TOPIC
