There are several variables that you can use to set sprites accordingly, for example the flip variable indicates which direction (left/right) the player is looking. All the variables you need are commented in the create event of the player.
Touch controls are tricky, I suggest you look up a tutorial on how to implement them. Once you are wiser, you can simply replace the keyboard_check() functions in the movement script with your own controls.
That's really strange. Did you try in a new project? I don't have access to MacOS I am afraid, but can refund your money if you are unhappy and cannot get things working.
I just tried and the answer appears to be no. It seems that slopes are borked entirely with the latest version of GameMaker.... great. I'll put it on the todo list.
Thanks for reaching out. If you look in the script "motion" you will find all the states under the green comments (collapse all regions).
Instead of a classic switch statement, the script uses if statements and calls exit (exiting the code) after performing actions for a certain state.
If you want to use a classic switch statement, just add a switch statement and state variable, wrap the original code in another state that you call whatever you want and voila!
You can write a separate input handler and pass its state as booleans to the motion function. If you manually start overriding stuff things might break :(.
I think you are probably not using the correct code to draw the player. Try checking out draw_sprite_ext in the draw event of the player and input the correct arguments there.
Indeed! The player never collides with anything. As you will find while you gain more knowledge, you generally want to prevent collisions rather than detect them and then fix them. You will have to use a floorcolor switch or write your own collision in the step event using place_meeting(x,y+1,objectocheckfor) {}. Good luck!
Hi! The sprite center is of no consequence! Do whatever you like! You can simple copy paste the object if you don't want to rotate it over and over. Alternatively, you can use a triangular or really any sloped mask and that will work fine!
You need to put the code where the original code for drawing the player is. You will also want to draw image_index of -1 if the sprite is animated. For questions like these you should check out the r/gamemaker Discord server: https://discordapp.com/invite/By6u9pC
