How Do You Fix Glitchy Screens?

[variant]

Hi,

I really need some help. I've been trying to design games with MMF2 forever, but I constantly fail because of several reasons. One of which is because when active objects move quickly they look choppy, and appear like they are flashing. It looks a lot like lag. I was wondering if there was a way to get rid of this choppy-ness to make the games I am trying to produce look better.

It depends on what kind of movement you are using. Also, are the hotspots in the same place on your character's animation. If not this would create a choppy/flashing character. An example mfa file or more details of your coding would help.

Also, I have many example open source files and tutorials on my website that may help (website address in my signature). There are also many tutorials on the sidebar----->

Your examples are excellent, but I'm having problems with just simple movement. Example: Repeat While Right Arrow Is Pressed > Set 'obj' x to 'obj' x+1 Basically what happens is, the object is moving so fast it becomes glitchy. I just need a way to move active objects more "cleanly".

Have you tried something like Ball Movement and it's Set Speed commands instead? Some acceleration/deceleration could also help to smoothe things, especially when you're scrolling the screen.

Isn't this just about the screen's refresh rate vs. the game's frame rate?

It could help, but I don't want to use Clickteam's movement controls. I want to use custom movement controls. I'll try it though.

Thanks For The Input,

Most likely. I just need a cleaner movement.
