i found this a few years ago, and just remembered it..out of the blue, i think i'm going to learn it up again. the cool thing about it, is it requires no C++ or other coding knowledge. BUT, if you wan't 3d game making, or advanced commands, you have to know some code called GML...

but hell i think this things pretty cool, i enjoy myself with it. just wish you could change your file names to some kind of java or something so you can put it on websites...

MadMel

k no one in the gamemaker threads will reply with an honest answer so HOPEFULLY someone here who has experience /w gamemaker gml will know...

i have an 8 directional isometric character, he walks and attacks perfectly as i wanted. now i need an enemy. so i made the skeleton. i got the code in to where he will follow the player if you get to a certain distance from him. the problem is, how can i make it to where he faces northeast if the player is northeast, north if the player is north, etc.

i want him to follow the player in an isometric direction instead of ALWAYS facing down.
