HELP! Game Maker 8 BUG!!

[9robin3]

Hi! I am sorry for posting here about Game Maker once again, but I think you all agree that Game Maker has a lot of small small bugs (yeah even GM8)

Anyways, I made an enemy OBJECT in game maker 8 with a horizontal path. I set event: CREATE=Set Path: Speed 5.

The game works fine. But after the OBJECT have walked it's path about 3 times it lags and keeps hacking in the corner...Its not moving in its path anymore but it's bogged down.

Look on this vid for more info (sorry for the high speed):

Is this a BUG or is it I who have done something wrong? Actually the path can't be wrong and
neither of the objects WALL or ENEMY are solid! Plz help!

Thanks in advice

Send me a link to the demo and let me see what I can do for you.

I'll be glad to help you, but I need too, as Radeth said, a demo, so I can know
if there's something wrong more clearly or if it is a bug.

 

[RadethDart]

Haha, exactly. It might just be something wrong in the way the code is being executed. Whether you use me or Mario, we will get the problem solved, nonetheless!

Ok I'm uploading straight away! I'll upload the GM file (ofc not exe xD) so you can fix it

Thanks a lot, and I feel stupid that I cant fix this small things...but anyway hehe I'll be giving you a demo soon!

EDIT: Here the file is: (Its called 1 life) :

I would be grateful if you fixed this, since this is just a hobbying game, I might not release it, I am working on it only when having free time, so therefore I hope not to encounter any other strange bugs. Thanks in advice!

This should get rid of your problem.

Just make sure to change that speed, and if you had more than two points, you need to get rid of them and only have 2.

 

[9robin3]

Ok. I need to have speed 5 or even more, and i have only 2 points in the path. It must be something else. It must be possible to set any speed (even high), am I right?

 

[RadethDart]

I don't think I understood a word you just typed...do you see the screenshot? Look where it has the cursor at "sp: 80." That is what I am talking about...it didn't say what sp stood for, so I assumed it was speed for the path. You need to change that variable to stop him from spazzing out.

 

[9robin3]

I missunderstood your first comment, but nevermind, I've fixed it. I somehow had 3 points (but just two, I dont understand how) but the sp 80 thing on both helped me. thanks a lot

hate those GM bugs sooo much-.-

anyway I'll be back if I'm having any more trouble! thanks

Haha, it's all good! I love helping in any way I can.
