GameMaker [Solved] Can I hide one object (invisible) in one of the views?

[gnemnij]

Hi guys.

I am making a local multiply shooter game, using split screens. I need a stuff like bush in LoL, where another player can't see you when you are inside and he is not. I would like to know if this is possible in GMS, and how to do that.

Thanks!

You can - by checking view_current variable in the Draw event to determine whether to draw anything. See the manual for more information.

I tried but it seems only switch the whole view on and off, I can't make one specific object disapper. could you explain this with an example? Thank you very much!

Having the Draw-event structured like

if (view_current == 0) draw_self();

would only draw the instance inside view 0.

It worked! thanks!

So if there are multiple views, the draw events happen more than once per step?

Yes. It even says so in the manual. For each active view, everything gets drawn again.

Ok, I'm having an entirely different issue over here,
I'm drawing a surface to a view[1] as the layer GUI is free from views.
