i think im a 9 :D provided I can use the latest DSL.

ok
but im not doing GM too often lately, im busy surfing, playing new games, and drawing (new hobby ^_^)

Hey how here is good at coding???

At a scale between 1 and 10 where 10 is best I am 8!

I don't know everything.
I don't know how to do arrays.

But I'm still very good.

Cuz I do code and code only.
No D&D allowed for me.

no the scale 1-10 I'm a 7 arrays I kind of under stand it a bit.

I am a 2.

ya...i can't do arrays...but i know my way round GM pretty well...and i use lots of code...not very much D & D...i'd give myself a 7 outta 10

6/10 so-so. i don't understand all coding, but what i do understand makes up for the other 4/10 :D

any one else

No.

:lol:

Spam bad y' man!

ok then <_<

Why not?
Join in!

Ok Burning Sheep Productions about the Arrays An array is like a long list of variables with the same name, but with a (usually) numerical index that tells them apart. Suppose that you have a need to lots of very similar variables, like the location of different text in our example. We could write it like this:
in create event

in drawing event

now give it a test



ok now that you have dun that
you should see the text Hey!!
but how do you change it to the next text???
so we create a new variable call it

in create event
in drawing event we will change the code to

so now we need to change nexttext value in the key press event for the up key we will do this

now give it a test again :unsure:



did you get an error :( not to worry :rolleyes: we need to fix that....
we know that text index gose from 0-6.
so we create a new variable call it

so in step event we will check if nexttext >Maxtext we will set it nexttext back to 0;

now give a try again :blink:
now you should have an idea how array work right :D

now i get it...its actually really simple...how would u use this in a game?

i dont know Monkster ;) i just explane how to use it :D

did you try it?? :unsure:

not yet...but i will...right now im on a pc that doesn't have GM on it, yet.

ok when you get some time :D

I only code when i need to. I try to use the drop drag options. lol :lol:

I stop using D&D a long time a go :rolleyes:

Woah!
I've been using arrays all this time and I never knew!
I tohught they were that kind of:

if i<100 i=1 i!=5

I dunno but I don't understand one bit of that.

ok Burning Sheep Productions it's not

it's for like

I'll try to give you a example when i get home :rolleyes:

Heh, danke.

What's it called?

ok we will use the for with draw_sprite(sp,0,0,0)
so load up a sprite any sprite and rember the width of it.
in create event we will create a varaible name

now in key press event for up put code

and in the down press event

now in drawing event we will draw the sprite0 wtih image number 0
and the x and y position.
so you should have this

so lest look at the for so we have a varaible we call it a
so a has a value of 0 now if a less than a value say 1 then
a will + or - a value so we have this for(a =0;a<1;a+=1)
we will use the varaible food so now we have for(a=0;a<food;a+=1)
so now we will use it with the draw_sprite(sp,0,0,0)
now here we go

now give it try
what happen nothing :(
we will add the sprite width to x 20
so we have thisdraw_sprite(spriet0,0,20+32,20);
so now we will take the sprite width and multiply by a
now we have thisdraw_sprite(spriet0,0,20+32*a,20);
now give it try and press up and doun key

I kind of...
Well...

I would've done it differently.

ok tell me then

I'd have the food thing in the key events but just have:
draw_sprite(sprite0, 0, 20+food, 20);

ok that wont work :( sorry that will make the sprite move left :D

Fizzwhizz?

I'm confused.

I would've done:
sprite_set_width();

ok show me how

there is no function for sprite_set_width();

There isn't?
Then howabout:
sprite_width();

I dunno what it is but I saw it in the manual yesterday.

now how can you use it with draw_sprite(sp,0,0,0);

You don't.

Are you useing v5 or v5.1?

V5

That's why you can't change sprites in real time!

yes i can :rolleyes:
