🚨 Game Maker SOS Series - Ep.1 🚨
Need help with character movement in Game Maker? This tutorial walks you through simple 8-direction movement using both Drag & Drop (DND/Visual) and GameMaker Language (GML below). Perfect for beginners! 🎮

This movement setup is ideal for:
🎯 Top-down shooters (e.g., Geometry Wars, Enter the Gungeon)
🛡 Side-on RPGs (e.g., classic Zelda-like games)
🌀 Maze-style games (e.g., Pac-Man, Bomberman)
🚀 Shoot 'Em Ups (SHMUPs)

🔹 What You’ll Learn in This Video:
✅ Move a character in 8 directions (Arrow Keys and can be converted for WASD)
✅ Use Drag & Drop (DND/Visual) - No coding needed!
✅ Implement the same movement using GML copy the code just below.

GML CODE HERE:

These are the object names used. You will need to check what yours are called and swap them out:
🟢 *obj_player* = player object
🟠 *obj_wall* = wall object that the player cannot move through

🎮make a CREATE EVENT in obj_player
...copy under here:

// +-+-+-+-+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ +-+-+-+
// |G|a|m|e| |M|a|k|i|n|g| |T|u|t|o|r|i|a|l|s| |1|0|1|
// +-+-+-+-+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ +-+-+-+

// Set player speed
player_speed = 3;

...to here

🎮 make a STEP EVENT in obj_player
...copy under here:

// +-+-+-+-+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ +-+-+-+
// |G|a|m|e| |M|a|k|i|n|g| |T|u|t|o|r|i|a|l|s| |1|0|1|
// +-+-+-+-+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ +-+-+-+

// KEYBOARD INPUTS
var left = keyboard_check(vk_left); // swap (vk_left) for (ord("A")) for WASD
var right = keyboard_check(vk_right); // ord("D")
var up = keyboard_check(vk_up); // ord("W")
var down = keyboard_check(vk_down); // ord("S")

// Nice code to make left and right work
player_x = right - left;

// Nice code to make up and down work
player_y = down - up;

// Movement code and collision with wall object
move_and_collide(player_x * player_speed, player_y * player_speed, obj_wall, 4, 0, 0, player_speed, player_speed);

...to here
