color

I'm going to have a lot of text based menus in the game I'm making, and I'm trying to make it so that when I mouse over clickable text it highlights in a different color. I have an object that draws text to the screen and is supposed to highlight when you mouse over it. I also have another...

My game has been using particle emitters because I prefer the workflow a lot more, it just seems a lot cleaner to me than individually creating particles. However, I haven’t found a way to use multiple colors in an emitter. I thought part_type_color3 might do the trick, but that just fades each...

I am a novice, 10 days ago. I purchased this software. I studied and studied for a few days. I think this is a great software. But the disadvantage is that it is very unfriendly to the Chinese. I encountered some problems below. Hope to get professional answers. 1: This software does not have a...

Hi all, I have another question about vertex buffers (that I couldn't find in the manual). I have a vertex format using position (xy) and color (ca) and I want to use it to draw a line segment (as a minimal example): vertex_format_begin(); vertex_format_add_position()...

I'm making my own version of code writer, just for fun, and I am want to make the text color coded for the languages I intend to use it for (html, css, javascript, etc...). So the problem is that I need to change part of a strings color based on context, (check if it's in brackets and things)...

Hi there, I've been encountering a problem with the image editor in GMS2. Whenever I import an image, the colors are always slightly off from the original. Even when I put in the exact hex code of the color, it's still wrong. Is there a way I can fix this? Here's an example. Original (its fuzzy...

I'm not sure how to reproduce this. But i have my project, and used to new features to color code some folders. Like so. But everytime i save and open the project again, it ends up like so?? For whatever reason, some folders...

Hey guys! So I was playing with surfaces and blend_modes and found out its possible to customize the blending results. I was trying to draw text to an alpha-cleared surface, but the result was kinda ugly. Then, after studying a little, i was able to "ignore" the surface color and alpha blend...

I'm new to Gamemaker, and now that I find the color customization theme, I see something I don't really understand. There is some reason why a hexadecimal color, known with structure (Red, Green, Blue), is asked by the game maker in reverse. (Blue Green, Red). For example, a Red color, which...

SpritePalettizer is a free html5 tool and 2$ for a desktop app (Win/ Linux/ Mac). Get it https://nezvers.itch.io/spritepalettizer. I've included GameMaker:studio2 shader code example and example project (provided by Xordev on twitter) on how to use color swapping with color set textures (not...

I'm looking to slightly tint the colors of a sprite. Meaning that white and black stay the same but other colours change so the overall saturation stays the same, similar to the 'color' blend mode in photoshop. The intention is to change this multiple times, so creating different versions of the...

Hey everyone, I am developing a game with only two colors that change from level to level. I'm using a shader to do so which works fine even though it is pretty simple. However, on certain computers, the shader does not work and I have no idea why. I was wondering if you could help me with it...

I've followed Shaun Spalding's tutorial at youtube[dot]com/watch?v=zWrpHbc6fmc, which basically sets up a one-pixel outline for sprites using shaders. Currently, the outline is black. How do I change this? I've tried messing with gl_FragColor but it either messes up the transparency (no longer...

Hi everybody, I would like to create a short animation of the background that flashes between a color and its inverse. I would like to trigger this animation when the player takes a power up. Among the threads found in the forum I tried to change the background color with this code: lay_id =...

Can I recommend adding text similar to "GameMaker uses BGR instead of RGB)" to the color documentation here: https://docs2.yoyogames.com/source/_build/3_scripting/4_gml_reference/drawing/colour/index.html This came up when I was editing a sprite in GameMaker's image editor, which shows the...

Hi ! My problem seems to be in link with Windows 10 but I don't know, when I draw a sprite (re-imported most of the time), the real sprite color seems to be replaced by a strange blue, I removed everything in the room except an empty object with a color gradient sprite and it's doing the same...

I took a break from my current game to put this together. It was really fun to use techniques that I picked up over the course of making my other game, but couldn't use because of old code getting in the way. While it's not the most original concept, I really enjoy playing it, which is not...
