It's super simple, just fades out of the battle screen and into the overworld, but the player character actually moves over to where it is in the overworld (similar to Deltarune) and doesn't fade out, just switching...

    GML Math help

    Hi, I would like to find the formula for finding a single number (0-9) in another number. So to identify any number with a ‘9’ in it. e.g. 9,19,29,39,49,59,69,79,89,90,99. How can I code this as a formula for any number? Or is it even possible?

The first equality is true, the second is wrong. So I need to get the result - right or wrong equality in the variable. How to do it? I tried to...
