TrueState - Finite State Machine for GMS2

I am not a programming expert, there is something i am struggling for. How to avoid code repetition? For example: I need to write the move code in every state that involves movement. Gravity is another issue, i am repeating all gravity stuffs all over the states. Any advice ?

Hey, using truestate_draw_current(truestate_id,x,y) what is truestate_id or how do I find it? The manual only lists the last two arguments.

Hello sir, I recently purchased truestate of gm market place and I cannot get the lock switch to work when trying to break out of queues. The line I ran is "truestate_switch(States.I,true)" but when i run it through debugger the truestate_switch_locked evaluates to false. Is the syntax im using wrong

Hello your pixelated holyness

I'd like to try out TS+. I see the project file for a TS+ on 2.3.1 example. Is there also a package file and manual planned?

truestate_switch seems to not work in YCC builds, while it works in VM builds, after updating to 2022.2

I am not using TrueState PLUS

Excellent product!!!

If I may make a small suggestion? It is safe and won't break anything.

The debug text of truestate_draw_current is tiny and not readable on bigger resolution (and even worse in mobile development). It would be handy an additional scale argument:

Thank you for your time!

Hello Your Spriteness,

I came back to you after extensively using Truestate (not Plus) and I have some question regarding the system.

1/ Why is it that when using `truestate_create_state` the function will trigger `truestate_set_default` ? On top of that `truestate_set_default`will execute the srcipt but, as I'm in the Create Event, I don't want any state's script to be executed.

There's case where it doesn't work. For exemple :

//playerSpawner Manager object
inst = instance_create_layer(x,y,"layer", obj_Player)
inst.PlayerID = 1 //or whatever value
//Player Object - player_state_init function
camera = instance_create_layer(x,y,"layer", obj_Camera)
camera.viewport = PlayerID

GMS will tell me that PlayerID is not set when it will try to assign `PlayerID` to the Camera's `viewport` variable. It's because `player_state_init` is fired when `truestate_create_state` is called in the Create Event of my new created obj_Player.

But I want `player_state_init` to be fired only when I switch to the Init state.

2/Related to 1/, I think `truestate_set_default` should be split in to distinct function : 

• truestate_set_default : where the systeme will rollback to if no state are found
• truestate_set_start : which will be the starting state of the object.

The starting state is usually not the one you want to be the default. For exemple, I would want to launch an "intro" state, like my character walking in screen, but I don't want this state to be the default one during gameplay.

So is it me who get it wrong ? is this a bug or a "flaw" in the system and how can I work around that without doing the Alarm trick ?

Thank you :D

Wonderful. I'm buying, it will be very useful for me. How much license can I use in commercial products?

It's good Pope. It's GOOD.

Hello, Your Spriteness.

Do you plan to write an alternative version for GMS 2.3 users to adress all the changes of the engine ?

Hey Pope, 

I just purchased the package and ran the demo. For the platformer, I noticed that you can move right but you can't move left. Also if you are against the wall you can't move at all... I haven't touched or manipulated any code so I thought I'd just pass this along. Cheers.

When it jumps and attacks it stays in the air?
