How to make a platformer in Gamemaker (the easy way) #5
35This platformer video tutorial series teaches you how to create a platformer in simple steps.
This time we do add an additional sub state that is used to define if we can clip through specific walls. One codition to enter it is to have these clip/jump through walls above the collision mask/bounding box or manually trigger that state when on ground and in idle/walk state.
That's it!

3:04 Adding new variable isClipping that defines the gravity script code
3:30 Extra wall collision check in gravity code if not clipping
5:09 Checking for a codition to enter the clipping state, above bounding box/collision mask
6:33 Defining clipping state and clipping reset condition
11:45 To prevent wonky twitching when enterin manually the clipping state, add vertical buffer of 1, 2,3 pixels to the bounding box collision check
