  Is it possible to sort the contents of an array alphabetically using events? If not, can this action be added to the array object? All I've been able to find is numerical sorting.

  *sigh*

  The lower the timescale, the closer the eggs follow eachother. Not sure how to apply dt to this one. Any ideas?

  Ok now it's actually solved. Re-download the .capx in my last post if you want to check it out!

  Actually that .capx I just linked to might not be the best way to go about this - the array is endlessly growing in size.

  This is as far as I got : Eggs.capx

  edit: nevermind :T Explained on page 2

  Hmm it's close but not exactly what I'm going for. Basically the eggs copy Yoshi's movements down to the pixel but with a small delay. The higher the egg ID, the longer the delay, creating a sort of trail.

  Here's a clip of it

  I prefer this because there's no complex pathfinding accounting for the player's various movement types, risk of the follower getting stuck, etc.

  I've read about using an array like LittleStain mentioned but haven't tried it myself. I'll give it a shot.

  I'd like to have an NPC follow my player in the same fashion Yoshi's eggs do in Yoshi's Island. I haven't been able to find any examples or anything on this though. Does anyone have any idea how it can be done?

  (There's a platformer demo that comes with GM:S that does this but I know very little GML so meh.)

  I can't get this working in the latest version of Chrome/NW. It works fine with FF and the rest though. What about you guys?

  lol back up.

  For your player object.. animate him attacking with the weapon, then erase the weapon.

  For your weapon object.. use the same frames but erase the player.

  Since they were the exact same frames & hotspots, they will align perfectly. Crop all the frames & set collision polys when you're done and you're good to go.

  And these are bitmap fonts. They are to be used like tilesets. Again - every character is the same size. No problems.

  Sounds like the problem is with your bitmap fonts, man. Usually each character is the same size.
