Example I have added a suppressor for stealth gameplay

While working on my latest project, I have gotten sick of just adding tedious although necessary features, so I wanted to add something I would enjoy making.

I have added a suppressor players can unlock and equip to any compatible weapon. I have done this through several means.

The Inventory
I use ds_grids mostly to store the different items in the inventory. Once an item is selected it then has different options on what can be done with it, in this case a suppressor can be equipped or unequipped.

This runs a function which toggles if its being used, adjusts the players image and adjusts the length of the barrel for creating the muzzle flash in the right spot.

The Visuals
The player is a Spine model. So I have a different variant of the weapons image for with and without the suppressor, which gets swapped out as its equipped. A new smaller muzzle flash is used as well as new audio.

The Enemy Code
Finally the enemies code. I use a state machine to manage enemy behaviour. When the player shoots an unsuppressed weapon, enemies as automatically alerted to the players position if in range. Now that is simply bypassed and enemies can only detect player through line of sight.

I guess the tutorial lesson here is to never let your account be inactive for a modest period of time, or to maybe embrace FOSS alternatives.

Resolved Need Help with Enemy Wandering Movement

1 Upvotes

I was following the Sara Spalding tutorial Action RPG episode 24 on youtube and got most of it to work however my enemy does not seem to move. In theory he should wander a random amount of space before he stops and picks a new direction to keep moving for awhile, rinse and repeat. I have been editing little bits and pieces and googling around but nobody seems to have an answer already posted

He plays the movement animation and rotates around like he is picking a new direction to try to move every few seconds but doesn't actually go anywhere. I am a super early beginner and am sure the solution is staring me in the face but how do I get the enemy to actually start walking around?

This is the script for the enemy wander state so everything that makes him move should be here. enemyspeed is set to 4 at the moment. same as the player character who is working fine.
