[WereWaffle]

I've been waiting forever trying to figure out how to get GOOD grvity in game maker but i can never get gravity like in stick online  :'(
And Whenever I look at videos on youtube the gravity is REALLY bad and i can walk while in the air.
Does anybody know how to get gravity exactly like stick online?
Please help!

There are many ways to do gravity. This one comes to mind right now. Probably not the best way, but you sound like you just need something to get you started.

Code Select Expand


if place_meeting(x,y+vspeed,objGParent)
{
move_contact_solid(direction,gravfall)
gravity=0
vspeed=0
jump=1
}

direction is a built in variable.
gravfall can (and you should in your case) be replaced with a number, usually 12.
vspeed is a built in variable.
gravity is a built in variable as well.
objGParent is a solid object with a black line for a sprite.

Please don't PM me and post in the topic.

Create your player object. In the step event add this code

Code Select Expand


if place_meeting(x,y+vspeed,objGround)
{
move_contact_solid(direction,12)
gravity=0
vspeed=0
}


Now create your ground object, it needs a sprite that is a line, something around 680x1 should work fine. Make it solid and place it in the room with the player object.

That should be it.

it says: Error in code at line 1:
   if place_meeting(x,y+vspeed,objGround) can you help?

[T-Rok]

did you name your ground object to objGround?

[WereWaffle]

did you name your ground object to objGround?

;D sorry!

[WereWaffle]

did you name your ground object to objGround?

I Did that and he still hovers!  :'(

[T-Rok]

Ohh, hahaha, I forgot to turn on gravity. Sorry about that.

Code Select Expand


if !place_meeting(x,y+1,objGround)
{
jump=0;
sit=0;
gravity=1.2;
}


That goes in the same step event as the other.

Game Maker requires a lot of practice in order to be good at it. I suggest reading some tutorials around the GMC. Also, read the manual.

To do anything "like" stick online, you will need to learn the basics of GML. I suggest you look at tutorials and not request people to generate code for you. Copying and pasting code gets you no where. Look at the examples, read their comments and have a bit of a play with the functions.
