[SOLVED] Does anybody know if draw_sprite_stretched works when drawing to a surface?

[mariospants]

Can someone please tell me if they know if draw_sprite_stretched works on surfaces? I can't seem to get it to work, and I thought I had before.

Thanks!

Of course draw_sprite_stretched() works on surfaces, as is the case for all drawing functions that allow you to specify a coordinate. You just have to be careful not to draw outside it or use in-room coordinates instead of on-surface coordinates.

Thanks, but I thought I was being pretty careful... the thing is that surfaces are relative, right? So no matter where it's located, if my x,y for my draw_sprite_stretched is 0,0 and center of the sprite is 0,0, then I should be able to see it, right?

Well, if I do draw_sprite(spr_spritename,0,0,0); the sprite shows up, but if I do draw_sprite_stretched(spr_spritename,0,0,0,sprite_width,sprite_height); it stops showing up.

Are you using literally "sprite_width" and "sprite_height"? Because those reference the sprite assigned to the instance and if it has no sprite then those values are 0... you probably want to use sprite_get_width/height instead.

Well blow me down and call me Slippy the Frog, but that totally was the problem. Thanks!!

Much thanks, that "edit title" link was so small I missed it completely! Now on to masking an animated gradient color logo with my new-found wisdom!
