    Hi! I'm very new to this. I went into properties - Room1, then changed the width and height to 1920x1080. Nothing happened, tried pressing enter a few times but still nothing, my room size is still the same as it defaulted to. Is this an error or have I missed something? It clearly says that...

    SOLVED room_get_width and room_get_height??

    Is there no way to get the current width and height of a room we're not occupying? I can clearly set the width and height of another room but how can there be no accompanying get functions? 🤯

    What are the ways to resize sprites

    I would like to give an instance a specific width and height while keeping it intact. I currently know of image x/y scale and 9 slice. scaling a sprite up will cause unevenness within the sprite. I am currently using 9 slice for the width and height of the sprite. This works fine as far as I...

    Asset - Scripts draw_text_properly

    Introduction Appsurd presents a simple but useful script for GMS 2.3+ which scales your text in case it does not fit on a line any more. Works comparable to draw_text_ext but does not add line-breaks, but instead draws the text in a smaller font. Of course the script is well-commented and you...

    Best Width and Height for Rooms

    I was curious what the best width and height would be for a standard, non-moving room would be to fit most computers nowadays. Where, if they scale up or down, the game will not lose definition. I am still new to Gamemaker, so I appreciate your time. (I don't know if it matters, but I am using...

    Legacy GM "string_width" calculating wrong value?

    Perhaps someone with more experience could explain what is happening here, and how to correct it. I'm assuming it has something to do with spacing of the characters in the font not matching with the actual draw length. The actual draw width of this text is 153 pixels, but the game says it is...

    GameMaker ds_grid size (w,h) is that actually (r,c)?

    Also in the manual it says: ind=ds_grid_create(w,h) but it seems w seems to be the number of rows and h seems to be the number of columns when I try and use it. Am I misunderstanding? JB

    Is there a faster way to draw a thick line, when using draw_path();?

    Hi! I want to draw a thick line as a path. Right now I'm using the following code. Is there any way to optimize this? I think it's making my game lag to draw this many paths, and it also looks bad. // Draw line draw_set_color(c_red); draw_path(ip, ix, iy, false); draw_path(ip, ix+.25, iy...
