Sprites & Objects

Depending on which gamemaker version you are using, you should go to file and make sure advanced mode is on. This post will show the uses of sprites and objects and why they are needed for gameplay.

Sprites are the image(s) for your objects in the game. To make a sprite you can do it 1 of 3 ways. you could go to resources (at the top next to edit and scripts) and click create sprite. You could right-click sprite on the left toolbar; click create sprite. You could click the green/red pac-man thing in the toolbar and that brings it up. After you have that loaded, click edit sprite.












Once you click it, make a sprite then click the green checkmark to close the editor. Click center (center makes the x and y axis accurate) and click ok.And don't forget to add a name(ex.spr_player).

Objects bring your sprites to life with actions and events. You can create an object with the same ways as a sprite except the green/blue creates an object. When the create object screen comes up, click <no sprite> and select the sprite you made.

Thats the basic of the objects and sprites

Happy Gaming!
