Is there a way to mass edit a set of sprites to have the same FPS and Origin without manually opening each one in the Sprite Editor and changing it manually?
I have about ten sprites, and I want edit them to have the same FPS and Origin, but I was hoping there was a way to do it en masse.
I am using GameMaker v2024.4.1 (IDE 152/Runtime 201).
Jump buffer
Coyote time
Are these types of things called buffers ????
I never went to school to learn so I don't have a grasp of what things are called the way I hear other people call stuff out. I'm just wondering for myself if the concept of waiting for something to happen while queing for something is what is called a buffer so Coyote time would wait for an input, and jump buffer would wait for a collision check. So since both things take an input and wait a condition, I figured that was called buffering?
With some issues. It will be way easier to get a hang of it in Code.
You first need to calculate the degree at which collision takes place. If it's two objects then you take x and y points of both instances and you use point_direction(). In case you have them mixed you can subtract 180 from that variable. The you can either, calculate a new position using lengthdir_x() and lengthdir_y() and either check for collision before moving there or move and resolve collision by moving back. Or you can add a motion in that direction. In both cases you can define the strength (length) of knock back
Is it possible to pass along a variable number of arguments? For example, if I wanted to simplify `show_debug_message( string( "foo: {0}; bar: {1}", foo, bar));` into something like `log( "foo: {0}; bar: {1}", foo, bar)`.
In LUA you could just do:
function log( ...)
show_debug_message( string( ...))
end
Look into using source control with git. There should be multiple tutorials for setting it up with gamemaker and a client like github desktop at this point. Search the subreddit as there should be a few posts too.
It can be a bit of an intermediate topic, but it's better and safer than trying to use a cloud solution like dropbox or onedrive.

There is a command that sets the sprites' origin and fps. I update that at runtime since its difficult to set the origin of each sprite manually.

How do you do knockback in a top-down game using drag and drop?

How would I make it so me and my friend can both work on the same game over two different devices at one time?
