Hey, This is GML Focused. Also my writing style will be a little loose and light hearted to be a little more entertaining to digest. Don't mistake it for not being serious, just not trying to put people to sleep and to get to the point. (I'll write TL;DRs before big sections of text so you...

Hello I am making a game based off chemistry when you need to bond atoms together using electron orbitals and bonds, I am making the game in pixel art to make the particle effects look the best because something about 2d particle effects looks amazing particularly when there are thousands of...

I have a room that is pretty big in size. So naturally I'm using a camera and view. I can pan around, zoom in, zoom out, and resize the window. I've got all that working pretty good. I'm only using view[0] and its default camera. What I'm trying to achieve: This game is grid based and it is...

Hello, everyone! I'll go straight to the point: I want to draw a textbox sprite that uses nine slice on the GUI layer, but it appears tiny because my GUI is scaled up. Got any suggestion? Thank you!

Hello, I am drawing a set of objects to a surface, and then I basically scroll that surface. I want to be able to click those objects, but the visual reference you have is the surface being drawn, not the actual objects position. So I am using a global tap event as such position_x =...

Hello all. I'm a new user to GameMaker slowly working their way through tutorials. I am looking to create an RPG game similar to the old Ultima series games. How would I create a GUI system similar to that used by Dungeon Crawler Stone Soup, and how would it carry on in between rooms? Here is a...

I have a controller object for my GUI which creates a global list and draws the objects in the list from last to first. The objects are essentially windows that simply add their ID to the list. It goes as follows: obj_WindowController - Create globalvar WINDOWS; WINDOWS = ds_list_create()...

Two quick questions about sequences. 1) it seems like there is no way to make a sequence persistent - so you can't have them cross between rooms. Is this right or have I missed something? 2) It seems like there is no way to draw a sequence on the GUI layer directly. Is this right or have I...

Hello, guys! I've just released my Easy GUI Creator script. The idea behind this script was to make it easy to create and customize the GUI for my projects. I made it for myself, but since I really enjoyed it, I'm now releasing it for free. Marketplace link...

Hi Guys, Does anyone know why my game looks extemely poor when drawing the application suface to the GUI layer. The gui layer is set to the same width and height as the application surface. I'm using application_surface_draw_enable(false) then drawing it at 0,0 in GUI begin. When running the...

Hi Guys, I recently noticed that my game looks really terrible on low resolution however, by chance I noticed another menu that looked fine because it was drawn to the GUI. I checked both surface sizes and they are exactly the same, as the gui is scaled to application width. This makes me want...

Hello GM Community! We have just released a new keyboard input text system with plenty of text-editor-inspired goodies to add to your next project. The GUI is adaptable and able to be positioned & moved anywhere around the camera. The text will scroll along horizontally as typed, meaning there...

Dear Opera, 1 year ago I put gamemaker aside as a game development engine for mobile devices, and concentrated on Unity. I have done very well, but I only make 2D games and I think GameMaker is the perfect one. Although not for mobile. A change is necessary in the way of programming and...

I've been working on this game in which I want the mouse to be on the gui layer but be able to click on things in the instance layer. My issue is that to do that I need to know the coordinates of the mouse in the instance layer while it's in the gui layer. The gui layer and the space the camera...

I've attempted a few methods, but have had no luck. Currently I just use a very lower depth draw to get the same effect; does anyone know if there's a layer ID for the GUI "layer" that I could insert into part_system_create_layer ? Or should I make a surface, draw to it / capture it in the...
