    GUI(healthbar) not scaling with zoom (GameMaker 8)

    Hello, I'm using a fairly older version of Game Maker which does not have the GUI draw event included, or any GUI codes by that means. My "GUI" in this case is just a drawn healthbar. My problem is that it's scaling down when there's a zoom-out. Basically, I have two characters in a room...

    GameMaker Is it possible to have layers with different resolutions?

    Hi, I'm relatively new to GMS 2 and quickly getting the hang of GML, and I would like to know if there is any way to have a layer that's more pixelated than another. For example, an 8-bit style game with an hd HUD. If this isn't directly possible, could there be any work around to do something...

    Legacy GM Issue with x_scale/y_scale

    It seems like a simple problem, but I just can't figure it out. When I increase the scale of an object it usually works fine. The code is as simple as if (grow == true) { image_xscale += .008; image_yscale += .008; } Whenever grow is false, it should stop...

This is all fine and good on my PC when running with texture pages set to 4096x4096, but some of my low-end test devices struggle with this...
