it says that draw_set_color is read only
Third time I forgot to put the origin in the middle center anyway great tutorial it really helped at GameMaker studio
Go to 7:03. Turn on captions.
If you right click while your character is dead, there will be no oPlayer object for the point_in_circle function to work. To prevent this, you'd need to use a "if (instance_exists(oPlayer)" before running the Global Right Pressed event.
The create event of oText can become
spd = 0.25;
letters = 0;
border = 10;
because all the other variables are or can be created elsewhere.
You can remove
if (h == 0) h = string_height(text);
from the step event because you can add
draw_set_font(fSign);
h = string_height(text);
to the global right pressed event of oSign within the with statement.
i actually figured out the latter part of the tutorial with the sign on my own although i did do it a different(and slightly less optimised) way so i could add a prompt for a keypress, i feel really accomplished
i also like how this works a lot since theres no line limit so you can decide that yourself
also when i wrote other.text it came as red in gamemaker and showed it was an inbuilt variable so i changed the name of the variable in all instances to signtext
My solution for making a sign marker when close to the signpost is probably inelegant, but I was really happy I made it work anyway.
I made a sprite with a downward arrow that cycles through a little animation, then made an object for it. The object is invisible by default, but made visible whenever the player is within a certain radius of the sign. Then I just had to place the marker object over the signpost in the room editor!
Big thanks for the tutorials so far.
Why does my text disappear immediately as the last letter is loaded?
It has no hang time, so now you have to toggle it a second or third time for you to read it properly
If anyone's interested I created my marker with a blinking effect. After creating the sprite and attaching it to the marker object and everything, I used the following code:
In create : timer =0;
image_alpha = 0;
in the step event:
if (instance_exists(oPlayer)) && (point_in_circle(oPlayer.x,oPlayer.y,x,y,64))
{
timer +=1;
if (timer = 30) //assuming framerate is 60fps
{
switch(image_alpha)
{
case 0:
{
image_alpha = 1;
timer = 0;
}
break;
case 1:
{
image_alpha = 0.25;
timer = 0;
}
break;
case 0.25:
{
image_alpha = 1;
timer=0;
}
break;
default:
{image_alpha = 1;
timer = 0;}
break;
}
}
}
else image_alpha = 0;
Also in the create event for oSign I wrote this:
instance_create_layer(x, y – 40,layer,oSignPoint); // where oSignPoint is the name of my marker object.
anyone know how to move the rounded rectangle down on the Y-axis? it's currently way too far above my little npc dude.
20:11 If anyone wanted to make an ANIMATED arrow appear, I came up with a way to do so using a Draw Event in oSign:
/// Arrow Over Sign When Player is Close
draw_sprite(sSign,0,x,y);
if(instance_exists(oPlayer))
{
if(point_in_circle(oPlayer.x,oPlayer.y,x,y,64))
{
sprite_index = sBouncingArrow;
image_speed = 1;
draw_sprite(sBouncingArrow,-1,other.x,other.y-30)
}
}
NOTE: You have to make your own animated arrow sprite, which for me was sBouncingArrow
the only homework that i did with a happy mood
Are we able to put in multiple strings off text in each room?
For the "homework" you can add a draw event in oSign and put this code:
draw_self();
if(point_in_circle(oPlayer.x, oPlayer.y, x, y, 64)) && (!instance_exists(oText))
{
draw_set_alpha(1 – point_distance(x, y, oPlayer.x, oPlayer.y)/64);
draw_sprite(sMarker, 0, x, y-sprite_height)
}
draw_set_alpha(1);

How to make it tiny
16:40
19:06 my text pops up on top left, outside of the box – edit: i fixed it
edit: and the text doesn't go away after all the text has loaded in and i press any key
my text and box do not align 🙁 heeelp
fohrutniyite
xets
teckst
extremely hacky sign marker code incoming:
in obj_signpost step event:
if (point_in_circle(obj_player.x,obj_player.y,x,y,64) and markeron == false)
{
markeron = true;
instance_create_layer(x+5,y-35,"Entities",obj_signmarker);
with(obj_signmarker)
{
image_alpha = 0.6;
image_speed = 1;
}
}
if (!point_in_circle(obj_player.x,obj_player.y,x,y,64) and instance_exists(obj_signmarker))
{
with(obj_signmarker) instance_destroy();
markeron = false;
}
the text appears on the top left side instead of inside the box, help pls, and the color appears black
for me the game crashes lol, i think i'll skip adding the this vid stuff for now
I made an indicator object for the sign all by myself! I'm proud of my progress and it's all thanks to you, Shaun! Thank you for your content, I'm forever grateful!
My text is being covered by my wake and I don’t know how to cancel that. Please Help
my box is very small ,Does anyone know how to fix it
For some reason within my oText, my text drew outside of the text box… To alight the text I had to use draw_text(x+100, y-h-border+50, text_current); Although now aligned, the text is black although was specified to be white in in DrawSetText(c_white,fSign, fa_center, fa_top);
If someone does not like the fact that the player cannot move while reading the sign, I wrote at the bottom how you can change it.
1. In oText>Step>Destroy when done change vk_anykey to for example vk_enter
2. In oSign create Step event and write this:
if(instance_exists(oText))
{
if (!point_in_circle(oPlayer.x,oPlayer.y,x,y,64))
{
instance_destroy(oText);
with (oCamera)
{
follow = oPlayer;
}
}
}
I know it might not be the best way to do it, but it works very well for me.
I noticed a little bug. If you reset game when player is dead the slow-mo effect is permanent. To fixed this you need to change script in oTransition.
oTransition>Key Press – R
if (instance_exists(oPlayer)) SlideTransition(TRANS_MODE.RESTART);
FIXED!!!
If you are having the same issue I had (detailed below) with the scrips not working it IS because of the changes to how scripts work since the release of this tutorial.
Shaun has a great video explaining the changes to the scripts (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nwlgfzyNzA)
.
For some reason the script no longer seems to work. I know scripts have changed with version v2.3.0 so not sure if this is the reason. I get an error:
############################################################################################
ERROR in
action number 1
of Create Event
for object <undefined>:
draw_set_colour argument 1 incorrect type (undefined) expecting a Number (YYGI32)
at gml_GlobalScript_DrawSetText (line 14) – draw_set_colour(argument0);
############################################################################################
gml_GlobalScript_DrawSetText (line 14)
I've resolved the issue by not using the script Shaun uses and putting the four draw events in separately as he suggests as the other more long winded way.
Just an FYI for 2021.
my box and text is too big how do i make it smaller
For anyone wandering why Game Maker Studio (GMS)'s Y-coordinate is reversed, this is because "Screens display left to right, top to bottom, as scanlines. So, historically top left was 0,0." (Reddit Comment)
If you succeed in making a little marker that appears above the sign when you walk within a certain radius, you can use this code to make it bob up and down smoothly 🙂
Create Event (inside the marker object)
/// @description Defining the Marker variables
frequency = 5; //Control the speed – higher is faster
amplitude = 5; //Control how 'high' the sign bobs
midpoint = 20; //The starting point
timer = 0; //Leave as 0
bob = 0; //Leave as 0
createy = y; //Ensured the Y fluctuates around the original position
Step Event (inside the marker object)
/// @description Make the sign bob
bob = dsin(timer * frequency) * amplitude + midpoint; //Function to make the value of bob fluctuate
timer++; //Progress the timer
y = createy – bob; //Convert the bob value into movement in the y-axis
if (!point_in_circle(oPlayer.x,oPlayer.y,x,y,125)) instance_destroy(); //Destroy the object if the player is not close enough
That's all 🙂
So im tring to add a sprite above the sign post when the player is withing the same distance of the sign post but i cant seem to get it to work. Can someone help me?
Thanks for these tutorials – super helpful and clear!
I'm having an issue with the DrawSetText you created. When I try to launch the game, it gives me the error that it expected a variable in argument one for draw_set_colour (whereas of course it's currently set as (argument0). Any idea why it might be doing this? Means I can't use the script and have to input all the lines every time.
9:00 dude this is already better than some AAA games, where they skip entire conversations the moment the player presses a key by accident, even before having finished writing the text to screen!
GMS2.3.0> Users the scripts has been changed:
this fixed for me:
in the DrawSetText Script:
function scr_DrawSetText(argument0, argument1, argument2, argument3) {
draw_set_colour(argument0);
draw_set_font(argument1);
draw_set_halign(argument2);
draw_set_valign(argument3);
};
for some robotic guys like me:
7:20 – Shaun didn't put the brackets in the code so some of you may have misunderstood his code as:
if ( h == 0 )
{
h = string_height ( txt )
w = string_width ( text_current )
}
but it's actually this
if ( h == 0 )
{
h = string_height ( txt )
}
w = string_width ( text_current )
hope that helps you!
Shaun where's the sign post sprite download link?
For the homework, my method was to dive into the draw event of the sign (making sure to write a basic draw for the Sign right at the start), then add an if statement if the player got in a 64 pixel radius. If they did, there is a second draw event using with oSign that draws the same triangle Shaun uses above the sign (other.y – [some distance]).
This has the added benefit of less faff with objects floating about, and you can envision using a variable to set the y distance everyframe, then count that variable up/down to "animate" the triangle by redrawing it every so often.
if (point_in_circle(o_player.x,o_player.y,x,y,64))
// … Yea, that code doesn't work if your player is dead / disappeared… It goes against the Dying tutorial…
if (instance_exists(o_player)) && (point_in_circle(o_player.x,o_player.y,x,y,64))
// That thing saves the day!
My player walks behind the sign, but the gun on front 🙁
I was stressing so much on drawing the freaking sign post
