Topic: Game Development Issues / Foward attacking... Puts me through the ground?

So, in one of my games (A platformer) I'm trying to make an attack in which a
character leaps forward in a charge (head-butt) but instead of going forward, I
sink into the ground and given the inabilty to move, any help?

Topic: General Chat / PanZer DraGooN

Does anybody here know of this amazing series?
I loved all the games, really i consider it one of the best series of all time.
As well as their soundtracks, nothing tops their full-orchestral themes.

Their later soundtracks were composed by Yutaka Minobe who did many great
soundtracks for Sega's RPG games like Skies of Arcadia which was one of the best
RPGs of all time.
So how 'bout it? How many people here know this all time epic adventure game?

Topic: General Chat / A game's difficulty

It's tough for me to do so. Really, the first couple of levels have like a few
jumps really. I don't see how i could make it any easier, just make the first 10
levels straight lines?
are today's players really that bad at games?

Topic: General Chat / Them Crooked Vultures.

I copied this straight from my MySpace bulletin. Just... Listen. And comment
about what you think and stuff.
Best supergroup ever. It's a great band. Seriously.
The members are:
Dave Grohl: Nirvana, Foo Fighters
John Paul Jones: Led Zeppelin (Duh)
Josh Homme: Queens of the stone age.

The new single is New Fang. It's pretty good. You'll probably be hearing it on
the radio soon.
My favorites that I've listened to so far are: Mind Eraser, No Chaser (That's
one song), New Fang, Scumbag Blues, and Elephants. They're all good, though.
Listen. Now. And buy the album. Don't pirate it, actually buy it.

Topic: Suggestion Box / Animation menu for backgrounds!

its easyer just to make an animated sprite and have the controler draw it across
the room. I guess if there were animated backgrounds it would be easyer but gm8
is no longer taking suggestions

Topic: Game Development Issues / Move_Contact equivilant

do you mean move_contact_all() or move_contact_solid() ?
i don't understand the question. I use move_contact_solid with no problem. Who
sets this rule that you shouldn't use it? And why follow it? Just do what works
for you.

Topic: Game Development Issues / Two Issues

1- yes it's possible. Use the sound_add(fname,kind,preload) function.
2-
-A: if distance_to_point(mouse.x,mouse.y) < 30 speed-=2;
of something like that.
-B: set a certain var to true when it's speed hits 0, then keep that direction
constant when the speed is 0 until the speed changes.

Topic: Game Maker Games / Animator - A Skeletal Animation tool written entirely in GM.

It's defiantly a nice idea, i can see people using something like this a lot.
Perhaps a choice in style would be best. Like traditional 8-bit looking
characters (32x32) or 16-bit characters (32x64) as well as street fighter like
characters and more modern styles.
