[Request/Listing] Having trouble with new rooms...

(1/2) > >>

Okay, so I'm still working on a demo for my game, and I want to be able to go into houses and stuff, but I'm having just a bit of difficulty with making room transitions look nice. For example, how do you make the main character walk into a room and go to a certain position in that room, instead of where you started him off in that room before? BTW im using GM. Help would be much appreciated :)

do you mean a room to room engine?, i know that hyrule_boy or deku_stick have one try to ask them

You are going about this all wrong. Make your characters object persistent. Have him only be created in one single room, and then when he moves room change the x and y of him, heres and example, for moving him when he hits the object that will make him move room:

Room = [yourroom];
obj[yourobject].x = [wherever];
obj[yourobject].y = [wherever];

Like that. Hope it helped.

Your welcome, just needed some advice from experienced gamemaker users. The ammount of mistakes i made like that, i did it all with global variables at first before i realised that i could do it with the obj[name].x ect, those were the days.
