obj_player

What is it?

obj_player is the object for the player (the character the user controls).

Create

In the create section of the obj_player, several class fields are defined. These include:

• move_speed - The speed at which the player moves
• cur_health and max_health - Current health and max health of the player
• can_interact - This is a flag that, when true, allows the player to interact with things like npcs. If this is false, the player will be able to move but unable to interact with anything but enemies.

Step

The step event will control the players movement by checking the input from the user and moving along the x and y axis accordingly. During the movement, collisions with anything that may affect movement should also be checked ^[1].

The step event will also reset the current room if the players health every reaches less than 0.

Alarms

0. Set can_interact to true

^{[1] - Although this is done using the collision event in other objects, within the player this is handled directly through code just to offer alternate ways of handling things}
