[SOLVED] Need help with views and HUD

[Vincent]

So I'm making a game and I wanted a heart-based life system. The only problem I have is that I don't know how to place the object so it is visible when the view changes. Like to "tie" that object to the view's corner so it doesen't disappear when the player moves. I'm using gml, but I can't find a way to solve this.
Thanks for your time!

You need to draw your hud according the view position.
You have variables to figure out what offset is needed , the calculate the position of your hud:

https://docs.yoyogames.com/source/dadiospice/002_reference/windows and views/views/index.html

So positioning your hud element will sound like this:
draw_sprite_ext(spr_Hearts,0,view_xview+22,view_yview+22,1,1,0,c_white,image_alpha);


You can also draw it in GUI layer, Its always there regardless the view you're using.

So in what event do I have to write this? Thanks!

You can always make Draw GUI Event to make HUD exactly based on screen.
like ...

draw_sprite(heart, 0, 16, 16)

you don't even need to worry about views if you draw it as GUI.
