Game Maker Minecraft Tutorial #1 – Terrain Generation

Is this video outdated now? I followed the tutorial word for word and I got so many errors. Then I fixed those syntax errors and I’m still left with a few warning triangles

Dude you are the best person ever… I use this code in GMS2 and i works perfect 🙂 i love you man

friends here is the code

var sh;
sh = (room_height / 2) – floor(random(room_height / 3));

sh = (sh / 32) * 32;

ah = sh;

var dirt_level;
var stone_level;
var l;

for(xx = 0; xx < room_width; xx += 32)
{
instance_create(xx, ah, obj_grass);

dirt_level = ((room_height – ah) / 32) * 32;
stone_level = ((room_height) / 32) * 32;

//dirt level
for(yy = ah; yy < dirt_level; yy += 32)
{
instance_create(xx, yy + 32, obj_dirt);
l = yy;
}

//stone level
for(yy = l; yy < stone_level; yy += 32)
{
instance_create(xx, yy + 32, obj_stone);

}

ah += choose(32, -32, 0);;
}

thanks you are awesome
this code perform
sh = (room_height / 2) – floor(random(room_height / 3));

sh = (sh / 32) *32;

ah = sh;

var dirt_level;
var stone_level;
var l;

for(xx = 0; xx < room_width; xx +=32)
{
ah += choose (32, -32, 0);

dirt_level = ((room_height – ah) / 32) * 32;
stone_level = ((room_height) / 32) * 32;

instance_create(xx, ah, grass)

//dirt level
for(yy = ah; yy < dirt_level; yy += 32)
{
instance_create(xx, yy + 32, dirt);
l = yy;
}

//stone level
for(yy = l; yy < stone_level; yy += 32)
{
instance_create(xx, yy + 32, stone);
}
}

help me, create instance is no longer working in game maker studio 2

I would not use this if i were you unless your doing something very small if your going big i would look into ds_grids.

But even that dose not help me.

So if your good at programing and you want big worlds use unity.

My generation matches his without error which is weird to me

also don't type var sh, just type sh

What up my dudes

t is not completely random, as you see, the up and bottom sides are kind of mirrored. It is like creating straight line in random y position(assigned to grid) and generate blocks the same count up and down. 🙂

in scrpit generate line 18 :malformed statementt :

var sh = (room_height / 2) – floor(random(room_height / 3));

sh = (sh / 32) * 32;

var ah = sh;

var dirt_level;
var stone_level;
var l;

for(xx = 0; xx < room_width; xx += 32)
{
instance_create(xx, ah, obj_grass);

dirt_level = ((room_height – ah) / 32) * 32;
stone_level = ((room_height) / 32) * 32;

//dirt level
for(yy = ah; yy < dirt_level; yy += 32);
{
instance_create(xx, yy + 32, obj_dirt);
l = yy;
}

ah += choose(32, -32, 0);
}

This is not minecraft, its terraria, we want a fully 3d minecraft, not this stuff!

This is fucking Game Maker : STUDIO, not just Game Maker, why the fuck is everyone so dumb?!

That Tutorial makes a LOT OF FUN =)

Thankyou really much. It helped me a lot. Im new to game maker, I tried to make my own, but always failed, because I don't know all functions and how creatively and correctly use them. This is good way to learn. Well some things I don't understand well. how yy and xx works and from where you got that variables, what and how exactly every level algorithm works. I tried different ways to get rid of grass growing on stone but I couldn't!

help please whenever i load my game stone is everywhere but where grass and dirt is so my player is stuck in the same level of stone everytime!!
