    SOLVED Stop alpha from blending?

    How can I draw a primitive shape or a sprite with a certain alpha, but not have the alpha values add together when they overlap? I've tried disabling alpha blend, but that seems to set the alpha of everything back to 1. For instance if I have two rectangle draw at 0.5 alpha, if they overlapped...

    Changing the opacity of a Room layer in the room creation code

    I have an instance layer that is only in the beginning of the game that needs to have its opacity adjusted. It contains objects that are elsewhere in the stage, but the object (instances) itself needs to remain at 100% opacity for every other instance it is used in the game, therefor it's...

    fading alpha based on distance between two objects

    Hey, how can I make so that a drawn object's (obj_storm_effect) alpha fades based on the distance between two objects (obj_player and obj_storm) ? So that the alpha is 0 when obj_player and obj_storm are far from one another and alpha is 1 when close? thank you!

    I am trying to make a game in GameMaker 2 where objects become transparent depending on the object behind them. I currently have it so I am just checking each step (within the object to become transparent) whether in contact with the background object and then setting alpha to 0.5 if true. Here...

    GameMaker Save surface with the "correct" alpha blending

    Hey all! I've been trying to export an surface (via surface_save method) into a .png, but due to how alpha blending works on surfaces it gets tinted (towards black as I'm using draw_clear_alpha(c_black,0) to clear the surface). I know this is the correct behaviour, and that It can be fixed by...
