in GM:S 2, the view system got changed.
It's camera_get_view_x and camera_get_view_y if you have set up a camera.

var vx = camera_get_view_x(view_camera[0]);
var vy = camera_get_view_y(view_camera[0]);
draw_text(vx + 12, vy + 12, string(fps));

You can look up how to set up a camera here https://docs2.yoyogames.com/source/...s and display/cameras/camera_create_view.html


Alternatively, just put the code in the draw GUI event with raw coordinates.

They are still global variables but have a value of 0. But set their values like Simon demonstrated each step and you can use them like you are used to.
