When creating the "zoom" system, my "shake" system started to conflict with it. Thus, if I want to return the camera coordinates to their original position when shaking, zooming starts to work incorrectly, and even no "offsets" help me if line 58-60 is active (highlighted below) Please help. The...

Hi, how could I achieve an effect where the edges of the screen (view following the player) are blurred? So that you can see clearly the center, but the edges get blurrier. Thanks in advance.

Hey gang, I'm hoping someone out there has a suggestion on how to better manage the black bars at the top and bottom (of a portrait game) for iPhoneX (and other 19.5:9 or 13:6 aspect ratio devices). What I've done to "patch" our existing games is to display something on the top and bottom of...

Using GameMakerStudio 1.4 Hey! Currently making a 2D side scroller and I'm having a little bit of trouble with the camera. I'm using a custom camera that I followed from a tutorial. It's supposed to make it smooth and things like that. Here's the tutorial if anyone wants it. Anyways here's my...

im not sure if im doing somthing wrong, but camera/view functions dont seem to work. i have this code that runs in the first room, then we go to 2nd room in the project with 0 effect. /// @desc scrstart(); camera_destroy(view_camera[0]); show_debug_message(111111111111111111); if...

So I have 2 seperate views with one being a main view and the other a mini map. I only want gui buttons clickable on the main view and not the mini map. As it is now, buttons can be clicked on in any view and I don't want that. Can anyone shed some light on this for me? This is in an old project...

Hi Everyone! Apologies if this is a stupidly obvious question, it's been a while since I have worked with views, so I could be missing something! I'm currently working on a 3D game to submit to the LoRez game jam, and was hoping to be able to reduce the view size to 64x64 in order to fit...

hi! i'm using game maker 1.4 i'm making an RPG and i design a button menu, i want to put it to a screen corner. it's not a simple frame, has an animation and other one when the mouse is over him. I know you can use the views of the rooms but I'm not very good at working with that. (the character...

Hello, Basically I'm trying to accomplish something like how Metroid or Super Metroid handles its "camera" and room transitions. What I want to do is draw various rooms using tiles within one GM Room asset, and the reason I want to do this is that more objects than just the player will be...

Theoretically, a view that is 1080p drawn to a 1080p window should take the exact same amount of time to render as a 1080p view downscaled to a 720p window? Because window size doesn't matter, view size is what determine what all needs to be drawn. Does this sound correct? So me creating video...

im using 2 viewports, 0 follows player, 1 is set at the edges of the room so when i get to the edge i can warp around. but now i see view1 port? i want to see view1 only when i get to the end of the room and only a part of it. what am i doing wrong

I recently started using GameMaker studio 2 a few weeks ago and was starting to follow a platformer tutorial, as all newcomers do, but one day I opened up my project to a list of failed "view" resources. After closing the warning, I ran the game and everything worked fine. The main issue is the...

Hi, how can I check: if for example 50 instances of object are inside view[0] = stuff happens? thanks beforehand!

Hello, I'm having issues trying to get a good looking vertical parallax. I notice most people just do layer_y(layer_id, y/speed); but this doesn't really work very well, unless your room height is pretty much always the same, sort of a Super Mario level. I'm trying to achieve a result where if...

Hey guys... Been a while from I was last doing anything in GMS, so I need some help if possible? I am try to create an active area with a buffer zone around the view. The issue arising is that when applying the value for the buffer zone, the active area is only working within the view, and not...

Ok so I'm trying to do this fairly complicated split screen effect where I have one view on top of another. The view on top needs to be rotated so that the bottom edge of the view forms a diagonal line across the main view (view0). See whiteboard diagram: Along with that, I want the content...

Yes I'm aware that it's not the best thing to have a view larger than a room, I've given my game a dynamic aspect ratio horizontally as means of better displaying the art created for it without distortion. It works properly so long as the room's width is equal to or greater than the width of...

Hi, so i've tried tutorials on making cameras and everyone talks about them different, sets them up different. Its just left me confused and disoriented. I would love it if I could make a camera that has the viewport centered on a target (ex.the player) and that viewport be the size of the game...

Sorry for coming here with such a rookie concern! Seems simple enough but it's giving me such a headache. I'm trying to have the game run on a smaller window, yet still at its full resolution (1920x1080) in a window of 1200x674 or so. Surrounding it I'd like there to be interactable gui, menus...

So I am pretty new to GMS2 but I am a long time user of GMS. I'm currently trying to think of the best way to get scene transitions between two scenes. One scene features a player's space ship which is flying through space and shooting other ships and what not. The other scene would be the...
