    GameMaker Any Advantage to "enabling source sprite export" vs 2 Separate Source Files?

    Is there any advantage to using a tile set as a tile map, and also as a sprite "enabling source sprite export" compared to just having a sprite that is the same image, but 2 separate source files? Less project loading time, using the same texture page, faster game load up?

    Tile Get at Pixel, Does it Find one if the Tile Pixel is Transparent?

    Does tilemap_get_at_pixel or the d&d equivalent find a tile if it checks in a transparent pixel of that tile or not? It would be fairly easy to have tile based slopes if it does not find one.

    Question - IDE [SOLVED] Is it possible to move tiles already placed on the room?

    So, yeah, just like the title says. In GMS1.4 you can select any tile placed on the room and place it again without any problem. Now, as far as I've seen, this isn't possible on GMS2, since there's no tool for that on the room editor. Probably there's a reason for that, but why? There's a lot...
