ARPG Episode 9 - Entities!
🕑 Added 2020-02-29 23:45:38 +0000 UTCBad Shaun, slow vid release! =( No real excuses this time just thought I could get this rendered, re-rendered and muxed a bit faster than I actually could.
The fundamental idea behind this episode is crucial, "entities" are a big part of how this game works and a really useful structure to understand.
At its most basic level though, it's just a parent object structure. But we also look at how to get tons of value from GMS2's new "variable definitions" feature in structuring our game objects.
This is all still working towards our dialogue system of course. Responses and branching is coming soon!
Released to the public end of next week as usual.

Also, someone explain how it's an array under defintations when their called variables?!
Why does the definitions need activate. at the start? i.e activate.entityActivateScript ? What does the activate. ref to? I dont recall assigning anything called activate apart from the variable with instance_position?!?!
