Mouse_Moving, making mario follow the mouse

I need help with my game..I need help with making mario follow my mouse cursor.

Example..



()----Mario *mouse_here------} moving_mouse ()-Mario_should_move
======================-Platform========== towards_the
mouse...


()-Mario_should_also_keep_on_the_platform..
=======================================platfrom===
=====


{()-mario_facing_the_left___________()} mario_facing_the_right

I want mario to change his directions to the mouse_directions aswell..





*-mouse {()-Mario_left____//mouse_moves\\___()} Mario_right *-mouse
==================================================



If the mouse is underneath mario..I want it to still move mario, but does'nt make Mario go through the floor or somthing...


Need real help for this.. So please help a fellow member out...


Thanks everone..

(If you cant uderstand the pictures I made above, please tell me)

I actually think I can figure this out. Lemme go see.

Edit: Oh wait, I can't i'm busy. Hope you get this fixed! Try asking Golem. He's really good at GM.

oh,ok, I'll try to PM him..

Anyone else have a tutorial or somthing?

Don't expect him to reply that fast. He always tells me he's busy and stuff. I wonder if he gets annoyed from it.

I did it, and I could quickly whip up an example if this computer doesn't feel like being stupid.

You did it VERY nicely!

yeah, MegaTailzChao I need your way you did it..[=)]

I can do this. I'll edit this post asap
Edit: There's something wrong with this. Mario moves only AFTER he animates, and he "automatically" jumps onto the platforms. Can someone fix this?

Ok. I can work on this now. I'll start making some GML for this.

Actually, I probably won't need any GML for this.

Thanks Guys for putting so much effort in helping me. =)

Haha, i'm learning things while i'm doing it! I didn't know how to do some of this stuff with a mouse. Ok, I'll put jumping and perfect collision in here too just for the fun of it.

alright..=D

woops, nevermind

Damn this GML isn't liking me. MegaTailzChao is probably laughing his ass off right now.

Don't worry, I've also had GML trouble...

I'll try it tomorrow. I don't feel like dealing with problems.

Works pretty well! =)

Just some movement probs.

Shanks - LOL, don't sweat it. Annoying me would be flooding my inbox with 20 messages before I had responded once.

Kremling - This should work. It's is an edit of the engine Elite Charizard posted. I based it entirely off of what he posted, so I don't know how familiar you are with GML. However, if you're familiar with GML at all, you should be able to clear out a few noobish moves of mine. This is my first time really working with GML, I think I've looked up one or two lines of GML total in the past. Despite that, I think it does everything you want it to.
Hope it helps!
EDIT: Oh, and I left a few notes to myself in a random key press event for the Mario object. You might want to clear that out, too.

Oh. Ok, good.

Thanks for that. There is just one more glitch, that the sprite won't stop when it's in range with the mouse. But I found a method for that, expect it in a few minutes.
Edit: Argh. This works on my 98, but on my XP, it does'nt. Maybe because the mouse movement is different in 98? (ie: It stops, not constantly moving left and right by a pixel)
And Golem, fillers just take more space. You can use an ! before the function, eg: if variable != 0 or if !position_empty etc.
