Move And Collide with Slopes - Gamemaker Tutorial

Gamemaker has just released a new move_and_collide function, which allows you to program simple collisions in a very efficient way. You can have a platformer with slopes with a very small amount of code.

** What will I learn? **
In this overview I show how to implement collisions using this new function, and solve a few issues you might encounter when implementing it yourself.

You're a really great teacher! Some things I like are also showing the visual code and walking through the failuresas well as going over basic stuff again like only using the 1st 3 arguments! It seemed really helpful and can probably help with a rotating platform that was giving me trouble! Thank you!!

Oh my god it works, I felt like killing someone after trying to figure out stairs, failing to do so, and then I read that this feature was introduced, and couldn't understand how it works, and then I found this video. Thank you, you stopped me from some extreme actions )))

Great job resuming the new function ! First time on your channel, not the last :)

[goamalo]

Thank you for the great tutorial. I also learned so much from your tile based platformer tutorial and though I didn't use it in the end because the lack of slopes, it taught me a lot of things that made me better at using game maker. Now this tutorial gives a really great base to platformers.

you can set the slope sprite to have a "rectangle with rotation" mask which i believe is much faster than precise collision

[heroicoder]

thank you dude I kind of needed this. Keep it up

[AronBaddoPacas]

you can use the "angle" property of the object to set direction of the player...
example:
if you keep colliding with a slope, my direction is the slope.angle and my speed is hsp..

[clayton_games]

my player is just falling straight through the floor. any help?

[TheBuckSleezy]

How applicable is this code for top down, 8-directional movement?

[icethechampion]

I'm a beginner, how would i go about tiling this?

[ChaosMan]

i followed this code but my player movement is jagged, any ideas why?

[gluehole]

Could you make a tutorial on one-way platforms using this code?

[kadenfrfx]

how would you handle slopes differently to normal tiles? want to make a system like jump king where slopes remove the ability to control the player and slide them in a certain direction

[MichaelSchultzSF]

Wait, you're never setting the players x position variable. How does the player object even move without setting it?

[seyuup]

Question: does the new method work well with entity acceleration/deceleration?

[barcherellithereal]

Just wondering, but is there a way to add the drag variable from your previous tutorials onto the hsp?

[samthesoupman]

player's got some jittery movement on the floor, tips on how to fix that?

[adrianmarzec]

How to make one way platform with this?

[mooseyexists]

because I've made the player go faster, how would i increase the clamp to a higher amount?

[druinn]

That video is AMAZING!!!! Quick question, if I change the variable move_spd to 5 or 6 the problem with the slopes start again (the player start jumping them) could you pls mention a solution for that pls!
