Discussion Adding more space to the room

[Geoff Jones]

Hello. Is there a way to resize ALL directions of a room after creating it? I know you can make the room bigger which gives you more space at the at the right and bottom, but what about the top and left? (without having to delete the room and recreate it)

Thanks

You can move instances If you add 300px width and 400px of height, set same grid size, select all instances on layer, and move them - if more than one instance is selected, it looks that it jumps by grid width/height size, instead of snapping to it. It may be a bug, but I'm using it as a feature.

There was "move" button for all instances in room editor in all game makers pre 2.0, but they removed it here. Would be good if this function would come back.

@Geoff Jones File a suggestion for this - I think it's a plenty good idea to introduce at some point in the future.

This would be very useful. The room size should work like the "canvas" from the sprite editor, you should be able to resize all the sides of the room and anchor the objects/tiles to move accordingly.
Having to move all the instances manually is not a good solution and it's not practical, specially if you have a big room with lots of layers.

We already have this on our todo list. So that "resize" is much like the image editor one, asking where to place the extra space (or what to crop for that matter)
