GameMaker How do i colour blend individual tiles in GMS2?

[JesterOC]

HEYO!

So i've been porting my game from GMS1.4 to GMS2....
But i've hit a snag...

I can't seem to blend a tile?

Any help is much appreciated....

As for what i need to blend tiles for... it's an enlarged pixel grid you can draw on.. needs colours.

You can't, the feature doesn't exist anymore. I wish they had carried that one over as well.

The way you *can* do it now is with some runtime scripts that manilulate tiles/surfaces/shaders to color tint them, but that's far from trivial.

OMG... Basically a giant workaround just to color tiles.. FML..

I guess I'm unclear why you would need to. Wouldn't it be easier to just draw to a surface and then draw over the tile?

Surfaces is the way to go i guess... But thats gotta be way more processing for the computer to do . I've got 4 players .
