drawing triangles with 2D

hi

Notice how one of the shapes not included is a triangle. So this scipt can form a 2D trinangle, it uses one argument, The size of it. Also the triangle is what you would call of perfect angle, so it has a right angle and then two 45O angles. To edit the perfect angle you need alot of knowledge of Co-ordinates (i cant remember what you call the mathematical term) and angles

[code]
//put in draw event!
draw_line(x,y,x,y+argument0)
draw_line(x,y,x+argument0,y+argument0)
draw_line(x,y+argument0,x+argument0,y+argument0)

[/code]

Turn in one direction to a point

Hi

This script will turn an object from one direction to another ONE way

[code]

dir = point_direction(x,y,argument0,argument1)
if direction!=dir
{
if direction < dir
{
direction+=3
}
else
if direction > dir
{
direction-=3
}
}
else
{
direction = direction
}
[/code]

Quoting Written Text - VB

Hi

my first script for Visual Studio Visual Basic

This script is about quoting written text when a button is pressed. I can't really explain it more than that sorry

[code]

Public Class Form1
Private Sub TextBox1_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox1.TextChanged
End Sub
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
TextBox1.Text = "quote : " + TextBox1.Text
End Sub
End Class

[/code]

The Textbox1 and Burron1 can be changed with a different name, but i wouldn't advise it if you are a new user

New Topic - Visual Basic

Hi

I have decided to share some visual basic with you. I am only a novice so people who know what i am talking about, don't be shocked when you see these posts are nooby

Encryption

Hi

The purpose of this script is to encrypt or dencrypt a string. It is very simple and useable by novice GameMaker Users. I am still finishing on the dencryption which may come in a little while



[code]

{
str = argument0
key = argument1
str2 = str
str2=ord(str2)
str2*=key*2
show_message(string(str2))
}

[/code]

AI - 3D collisions

Following on from my last script:here

This is the collisions for this script. You can just add The nesscery stuff into the script as i quote from the same GMC topic

i have worked out collisions! (for your AI) just add these codes where i say

[CODE]
/////////////////////////////////////////
*Create Event*
//////////////////////////////////////////
collision=false//initates the variable/trigger which is set to false
/////////////////////////////////////////
*Step event*/ //i can't explain what this does else my codebox mucks up
/////////////////////////////////////////
if distance_to_object(argument0)<2 and collision=false
{
alarm[0]=1
collision=true
}
/////////////////////////////////////////
*Alarm0*/ // add in the "position_meeting" ELSE Bracket after "done"
/////////////////////////////////////////
if collision=true
{
alarm[1]=30
}
////////////////////////////////////////
*alarm1*
//////////////////////////////////////////
collision=false //resets the variable
[/code]


Ok so i will explain what you up in argument0. Make a new object called par_solid. this is a parent. when you open a static (unmoveable) objects properties. where it says parent add par_solid so it has all the effects of par_solid

AI - 3D and Topdown

This Ai script is for topdown and 3D. It was made for 3D and you may have to optimise it for Topdown. And i have copied it off a topic i posted of here:Link

Here it is anyway

[code]
//////////////////////////////////////////*create event*/////////////////////////////////////////
tagetx=x
targety=y
done=false
alarm[0]=1
//////////////////////////////////////////
*step event*
////////////////////////////////////////
dist = distance_to_point(targetx,targety)
if (dist>0)
{
direction = point_direction(x,y,targetx,targety)
speed=2
image_speed=1
}
else{
speed=0
image_speed=0
done=true
}
if done=true
{
done=false
alarm[0]=1
}
////////////////////////////////////////////////////
*alarm[0] event*
//////////////////////////////////////////////////
targetx=floor(random(room_width))
targety=floor(random(room_height))
if position_meeting(targetx,targety,all)
{
alarm[0]=1
}
else
{
done=false
}
[/code]

Factorising

The opposite of expanding. It basically factorises 2 numbers to make a(b+c) or - or / or * as the mathematical operators. Factorising can simplify numbers and expanding functions can un-simplify them (as most people would think)

Unforuantely unless more functions are added to GameMaker or if i upgrade this script, you have to figure out the lowest common divsion between the two numbers.

I will look into it :)

[code]

fig1 = argument0 // BIGGER NUMBER
fig2 = argument1 //SMALLER NUMBER
divison = argument2
new_fig1 = fig1 / division
new_fig2 = fig2 / division
[/code]

Expanding

Hi

Here is another Mathematical function from me.

Expanding is when you multiply two figures in a bracket with the number on the outside on the left hand side. Or as most people would call it. Blimn algebra. Expanding works as follows a(b+c) or a(b-c) or a(b/c) or a(b*c) . A is the multiplying factor and B and C are the figures that are multiplyed.

[code]

fig1 = argument0
fig2 = argument1
multiplyer = argument2
fig1 = fig1*multiplyer
fig2 = fig2*multiplyer
fig3 = string(fig1) + " + " + string(fig2)

[/code]

fibonacci

I was looking at fibonacci sequences and i thought, was this GM compatiable. And of course it was. There are better scripts for this but this one doesn't use sqrt or power, but it does require variables!

[code = create event]

last_number = 0
new_number = 1

[/code]

Last_number is the last number which is 0, this won't be found unforunately without calling it first.
new_number is our first number

Don't put this in STEP event
[code]
//usuage: fibonacci(num) - num is the number of figures to find
repeat(argument0)
{
i = new_number + last_number
last_number = new_number
new_number = i
}

i is the finding of the last two figures


that is it. I am not sure how this would help with your games but it is here

Finding the difference in Angles

Hi.

This post is about finding the difference in angles. Angles are very unbelievable in GameMaker. Because they have to use the X and Y co-ordinates to give 2 angles this makes it harder to figure out what the difference in angles. We will have to use a example to make this script more easier to understand.

[code]

angle = point_direction(x,y,argument0,argument1)
angle2 = point_direction(x,y,argument2,argument3)
angle3 = angle - angle2
show_message(string(angle3))
[/code]

Explaining what everything does.

angle = point_direction(x,y,argument0, argument1) - The biggest angle you need to use. This defines the angle which is will be taken away from the smaller angle (or the first angle)

angle 2= point_direction(x,y,argument2, argument3) - The smaller angle. Subtracts the first one from itself.

angle3 = angle - angle2 - Finds the difference by taking away angle (big one) - the smaller one
