How to make more than one "room"?

Postby Fireball16 » Sat Aug 20, 2011 4:21 pm

Hi as you can see this is my first post and one of my first go's at using game editor, I have been using GameMaker by yoyogames for the past 2 years but the lack of export options annoyed me. So i decided to try this as it look relatively easy to use. But i have one problem, i do not know how to make a game with more than 1 "room", how do i do this is their a button or something to press. I have tried looking for a answer but no-one seems to have asked this yet (this either means its so obvious no-one needs to ask or there isn't any way). Does anyone know a solution to my problem?

Also if anyone is willing to teach me 1to 1 how to use game editor then i would be very grateful and would somehow reward them :)

You can't. Game Editor consist of one huge room extending from -1 000 000 to 1 000 000, on both axises(X and Y)

oh... doesn't this make the game possibilities rather limited then? Because you can have different levels and things...

Actually, you can have a huge game in that one room, and GE gives you the possibility of having several levels in different geds using
Code: Select all
LoadGame("filen.ame");
, so I wouldn't call it limited.
But yeah, different rooms would be a nice addition, as this would allow you to build a massive game in one exe without using
Code: Select all
MoveTo("actor", x, y, speed, "relativeto");
, which can be a pain sometimes.

GE and GM cannot be compared, get the notions of game maker out of your head! I made the same transition. But you will quickly notice that one huge "table" is all you need.
