Does any body here use GameMaker 6? Because I need your help.

[ivan mage]

If anybody uses GameMaker, tell me, how do you get an object to change its sprite when the player moves around it? Like, when the player's to the left, have the object change it's sprite to one facing left. I've tried EVERYTHING!

If you help, i'll put your name in the credits of my game.

Ill put an example on a player and a shooting monster, if the player is on the left side of it.

I think it is like "If there is an object "player" on a position ---somewhere left of the monster, determined by its shooting range---", then do "---whatever stuff what you want, like shoot a bullet to the left---".

Change object instance?

If it isn't called that, sorry, I'm a bit rusty.

You can use the image_index (or was it sprite_index?)

[ivan mage]

I thought it worked, but it diddn't. and gary, what do you mean, sprite index? ive only been using gamemaker for a month, and im not sure on certian aspects. is there some sor of script i could write to make it work?

[Trevlac]

Game Maker...right, but yet any discussion or help with RPG Maker XP is forbidden.

[Kijuki_Magazaki]

trevlac , game maker is  way more legal than any translated rpgmaker will ever be.

Sides your comment was like, not helpful at all, yet this comments will help you understand that game maker is aoud to be alked about cuz... it is not illegaly translated, for it's in english to begin with. and it's free i believe. so freeness pwns illegal freeness.

Anyway, if you need not of this thread, pm me or post about it an myself or another mod will lock it. (alking to the author) If not then resume with a diff problem i guess.

Yet the broblem at hand has not yet been resolved.

[LynX]

Try to describe what does the event do now or send me the game on e-mail and i'll look at it (on saturday, when i'll come home).

BTW any volunteers for beta-testing my game? (on saturday, yet again )

[ivan mage]

Well right now, the npc creates an object of a bullet when the player is nearby, and the bullet is programmed to go towards the player. I'll email the game to you.but since i just started the game, is only one room.

Once you have figured it out could you please send it to sundre12@telus.net

Thanks for your help.

EDIT on second thought, could you just pm me the directions, as my emal has just crashed on me.
