🔴Game Maker Studio 2 | Basics - Bounce or pong way to easy

[@NasuNanu]

Thank you so much, I spent 2 hours trying to figure out how I could get something like this to work and you saved me ahhh thank you thank you!

[@joshuamcmillan6390]

Been forever since I used Game Maker. Last I knew, it had a drag and drop function for that. Thanks for providing the same function!

[@1upIndie]

You are welcome!

[@spookytrav5752]

Thank you so much, ive been trying to figure this out for so long!

[@DariGamesTM]

you jsut helped me so much with this, i was about to give up a very important feature in my game cuz i didnt find a good solution bevore your video

[@1upIndie]

Sweet! Glad I could help out there.

[@enkiimuto1041]

loved the graphics of your game.
Also nice brief tutorial =)

[@TapeYTP]

How do you make bouncing balls disappear after a bounce?

[@1upIndie]

instance_destroy();

Thank you bro

how ican make the bullet bounce gust 3 times please i need your help

[@1upIndie]

Well, you need to do a few things here:
1. Setup a bounce variable in the bullet -> bounce = 3;
2. Then check for theoretical collisions with your wall object (because you don't really collide) in its step event, and if there is one substract from the bounce.
if (place_meeting(x+1, y , obj_wall) { bounce = bounce -1; }
if (place_meeting(x-1 , y + 1, obj_wall) { bounce = bounce -1; }
if (place_meeting(x, y + 1, obj_wall) { bounce = bounce -1; }
if (place_meeting(x, y - 1, obj_wall) { bounce = bounce -1; }
3. Any bounces left? If no, then -> if (bounce < 0) { instance_destroy(); }

@@1upIndie Hello, I followed what you put in your comment, but there seems to be an error because the software shows me an error on the first line, is something changed because of the version of gamemaker?

[@1upIndie]

@@JorisCoutelier Hm, not that I would be aware of. But this video is, well a not optimal way to do the bouncing. Better try this ->th-cam.com/video/hTPHzHM2KQ0/w-d-xo.html and think of it as a bullet.

[@JorisCoutelier]

@@1upIndie thank you, i solved my problem, your video helped me a little to think, in the end the problem was just me x)

[@1upIndie]

If that video was too confusing or lacking of infos, check out a more detailed one:

[@betadyne9559]

the solid state for objets is severely bugged :( I get objects being stuck mi air before collision when I enable this option :(

[@1upIndie]

Well, then go the "medium" route and try without solid objects -> th-cam.com/video/ssFfG0qEyW4/w-d-xo.html
Hopefully that helps.

[@betadyne9559]

@@1upIndie Thanks, but whatever you say in the video is completely wrong. Boucing isn't adding + degrees the your direction. I want realistic bounce, which means if I impact at 20° angle, it should bounce at 160°. Boucing takes a normal vector then sets the angle according to that, this is not what you show in this video.

[@1upIndie]

@@betadyne9559 Well in that case, how about you make a video that does that thing right and share it will all of us. So everybody wins!
I have a correct angle in my video for bouncing lasers -> th-cam.com/video/LQvD8PcGHPs/w-d-xo.html. So if you want the "realistic one", take that approach.

[@betadyne9559]

@@1upIndie Perhaps I'm here to find a solution, but yours doesn't ?

[@mh1593]

@@betadyne9559 if you want "realistic" bounce then you need to factor in the friction co-efficient of the material being bounced against as well as the shear effect of the rotation of the bouncing particle. You are very unlikely to get a "realistic" bouncing simulator on a 2D developer platform without putting in some serious mathematics

... I'm confused, this didn't explain anything on how this works.

[@1upIndie]

Not my best video, my bad. Here is a video that shows you all in detail:

That _was_ fast

[@1upIndie]

Yup, hope that helps!
