General game making help

[Shadow-Lucario]

this is to do with my earlier question as well which is still not answered lol but no matter what map i go on even if it is inside or out it seems to be snowing how do i turn it off i know about the debug menu option for weather which i have set to nil but it wont turn off

 

[ERROR]

@shadow lucario
have you tried opening the editor.exe and going to set metadata, goto your map and choose the weather effects?
u can press z ro reset weather effects back to nil which im guessing means nothing >_>

 

[WindBlows]

P.S: That error comes out when I try to go out of the first map.​

I have a rather stupid question, but I can't find any answers for it. Can someone explain what the priority tab does in the database for tilesets? I mean, I know what it's used for, but what "level" should I use for buildings, trees, etc?

 

[thepsynergist]

Either 2 or 3. 2 for base buildings, and 3 for layers you want to "decorate" the building. I just use it for layers that I want to appear overhead of the player, but what ever suits your needs.

Well, since I'm not planning on having anything over the player it shouldn't come into play, am I right?

 

[thepsynergist]

Like I said, its just my preferance, it actually doesn't matter as long as you don't use tiles with transparency on the first layer.

Place this in a Conditional Branch via the script option.

pbWildBattle(251,15,4,true)

251=Celebi
15=level
4=variable to store victory outcome
true=you won/caught it

Uhh T_T
Well I suppose I'll start with asking are you using GML.
Also I won't HAND you the code, I'm only going to explain that at an alarm set movement to a random between 1-4, and at each of the different variables move in a different direction on step.

If you aren't using GML then there's your first mistake.

 

[Pichuichu]

Okay Script

Okay How To I Correct This Please Help I'm New (I'm A NOOBIEEEEEEE!) 8)

 

[Poeman]

First, realize you posted the error, not your script, which might not always be the problem.
But the issue is that it isn't defined, in create put

global.transition=0;

This is really the first thing you learn in Game Maker, are you sure you don't need to go through some basic tutorials first?

thanks

Thanks. that worked. :shocked:
