There’s some really great tutorials out there on sequences, but give it a go it’s really easy to get some quick wins. Game Options > Add-Ons has gone - you should just use My Library to get those two Google/Amazon assets from the Marketplace as normal. Typewriter text Another easy to implement technique is typewriter text that is, displaying a string one character at a time as though it were being typed out.

Create Sequence (same x,y alignment to the boss object)Īnd this is the final result after the boss is dead and the sequence is triggered within the room! The easiest thing to do is to set the instance that is drawing the text in motion.

When you want to trigger the animation you would do something like the below: This method could be used to create Parallel universes in a game Instance layers are used for more than.

As I said you could do this in code but this shortens the feedback loop and allows you to experiment a bit more freely with different effects. In this video you will make a little program to toggle instances on and off using layers. You can change a number of different properties such as rotation, scale, colour and position over time. The other thing I’m doing here is a a simple key frame positional move with the main boss sprite as it losses power. In this cases it allows you to stack explosions on top of one another to create a cool effect. You can drag existing sprites onto the sheet and play around with timings. The sequence itself is created in the gamemaker UI. To be able to replicate a similar death animation using sequences only requires two lines of code! var seq = layer_sequence_create('Blocks_Layer', x, y, sq_Boss2_Death) You can see below I have a number of alarms to control timings as well as a collision event when it hits the ground to trigger more explosions.

It took a lot of trial and error to be able to do it in code. I had already implemented something in code for a previous boss and although the final result looks pretty good. This lets you chain and layer objects and animations to create a cool looking…well…sequences.įor me, a really easy win for sequences was to add one after one of the bosses in my game dies.
