Hi folks.
I have items loot with various coloured text. Problem is that in GM they tend to blend and obscure with the background.
I'd like to have my font with a black outline.
Should I use this:
https://forum.yoyogames.com/index.php?threads/solved-outlined-text.58000/
// But running this script like 8 times causes a huge FPS drop from avg 1500 to avg 900
On reddit I found:
https://pastebin.com/Uk3Cb1Mf
//Is this efficient if running on 20+ loot drop objects on the screen?
OR:
Should I just download a free font with an existing outline?
Is there a better way? An inbuilt method/function?
NOTE: Don't wish to use shaders.
Please advise.
Thanks.
