Hi All, I have been trying to make a ghost on my platform game which basically records the users game play and plays it back again. The issue I'm facing is that on different scales the ghost does not perform correctly. About the game mechanics. player x position is generally fixed, with the...

So it appears that scaling a sprite also scales its mask. No matter if I scale it by xscale/yslcale, draw manually with draw_sprite_ext(), change the mask from "same as sprite" to something different, or keep it as it is. With that, my bounding box collisions get messy. I would like to keep my...

Hello. Because my brain isn't filled with enough knowledge, there are questions to be answered, and this is the place I've chosen to ask them. The title probably says it all about what I am asking about. That's all I have to say before I ask these questions. The GMS documentation page about...

So I wanted to test my android game in different resolutions and see how my system for scaling works, however when I was testing I saw that changing the size of the emulation window doesn't change "display_get_...", while doing this in another new proyect it works(It changes the display size). I...

So I have a simple scale calculator used for scaling active actors relative to their horizontal position on the screen during the battle sequences of the game. The code for that is: battleScale = (distance_to_point(x, camera_get_view_y(camera)))*0.0025; image_xscale =...

If text is being dynamically generated and drawn to some confined space, there seems to be two ways to deal with sizing the font correctly: 1. use draw_text_transformed to draw a scaled version of the string, after string_width_ext and _string_height_ext so that you can compare it to the...

Hi friends! I am having an issue with font sizes. People say that they can't barely read the text on my game. I am at 1980 x 1080 resolution and all is fine. Should I scale the GUI Layer? What is the best course of action? Thanks in advance, Kezarus

Hello everyone, I have been having some problems achieving a certain Full Screen look in Game Maker Studio 2. The look I am trying to achieve when Full Screening my game is called FIXED Scale on 100% (NOT Full Scale!). This was an option available in the Graphics tab of the Global Game Settings...

Hey all, I've been working under the assumption that when you draw a sprite to the object's x and y and use scaling as in draw_sprite_ext that the bounding box would be calculated to the newly scaled sprite. I tried making a button in my game and scaled it by 2 but found clicking on it didn't...

Hi, I want to have a balance scale in my game, and I want it to be dynamic looking so that it swings up and down a bit when you put on weight, but I have hard time thinking how I should do it. So my question is, how would you guys go about creating one? I was thinking of using the physics in...

Hello, I am fairly new to Game Maker and wanted to know how I can scale my room size and textures. I looked into doing it though code, but obviously I don't want to do that for every single object, it would also cause problems because 1. like I said, I would have to do this for everything, and...

Hello! In order for a specific gameplay feature to work, I need to make all enemy instances on a specific layer, additional instances on another layer, and all tiles on a tile layer to essentially "zoom" toward the screen quickly and, at the same time, change opacity (image_alpha) so they do a...
