    draw_rectangle function behaving incorrectly on scaled GUI layer

    Hi all, I'm having an issue drawing a rectangle with the Draw GUI event in GMS2. The game has a room size of 320x180, and I'm running a 1920x1080 window.

    Left Mouse Released Event Unresponsive

    I was copying a tutorial on how to make a simple system of dragging individual cards onto a deck of cards. I've copied the code exactly and know it's right.

    GameMaker What is wrong with the Steam Screenshot fuction?

    When I didn't know I pinned the ID from the Steam page in Gamemaker Studio to my game to unlock achievements etc. Everything still worked independently and I was able to take screenshots in my game without programming a specific function for it in GMS2 in my code. But since I inserted the Steam...

    GameMaker Only One Item Is Drawing In My Inventory.

    I'm sorry that I have to make another thread so soon. This probably wouldn't have happened if I remembered to make a backup as I usually do before adding something else and I made too much progress to go back to a previous version. So, still following the same tutorial from last time (though I...

    3D Rotate sprite from centre, not from side (GMS2) [SOLVED]

    I'm playing around with 3d at the minute which is quite fun, I've learned how to use vertex buffers and formats to create walls, floors, etc. I'd like my npc's to always face the player, but they seem to be rotating from the side rather from the middle for some reason.

    GameMaker Gamepad control - what do I wrong?

    If I try to run with the left knob, then only the up and down run works because nothing works with the gamepad on the left and right.
