My character destroys the top block
« on: August 22, 2023, 09:56:16 AM »
Hi, me again :)

When my character jumps to a block from below, sometimes the top block gets destroyed. Actually often. Sometimes the character has to jump more often because the block doesn't do anything. I recorded it (video) and scaled it heavily to save memory.
Why does he do this?

Thank you
Sorry for my bad english...

thanks for the video, that's very helpful! my guess is that block collisions were not properly tested for different character sprite sizes... your character is much shorter than the default 48x48px.
this is definitely a bug. since the reporting board has been closed, it's best to report this via the form on the website:

Thanks and sorry for the late reply. I was on vacation.

Nice. I didn't know that the form was down, it's probably maintenance

Now I'm very confused :o. Ting Thing made an update. I updated that straight away and now it works with the block. Unfortunately the block no longer changes. I've now tried 2 variants (// = first originals). And the Womat no longer dies in the lava. Is the update faulty? Anyone else have the error?

TingThing has reverted back to patch 10.4.4. He said it was because GameMaker Studio has changed the way resources are compiled, but it might have changed other things as well. Does this work now?
