Record/tutorial Ghost for cutscenes [GameMaker | Advanced]
72This advanced video tutorial shows you how to use create a shadow/replay functionality in GameMaker.
The idea here is to play once and record the input values in that time frame. That means that you create a clone of the player where the input is coming from a record. For that we need the startpoint (x,y) of the recording as well as each frame the input. These we replay/use in the player clone.
That's it!
