Legacy GM GMS Object intensity

[Jamonnin]

I'm trying to find an easy way to reflect damage visually. The easiest way seems to be subtracting from the intensity value, but I can't figure out how to do this through GML. Any and all help is appreciated!

You should check out the draw_sprite_ext and merge_color functions.

Alternatively, use shaders.

Got it working perfectly thank you both. Just draw self through the drag/drop then draw with this code:

draw_sprite_ext(sprite_index, -1, x, y, 1, 1, image_angle, c_black, 1 - (myhp / 100));

draw's the same sprite mixed with the color black at the same spot with the same image angle and the opacity is same as your health ratio (if your maxhp isn't 100 just change it to whatever you need). Thanks guys!
