So i've tried for days but i cannot get this to work. I hate the pop up box with text that interrupts the game but i have no way of showing that the game did save. So i want to make a save icon appear at the bottom of the screen when saved.
Now this is so tricky because the pause menu is handled in the step event but the HUD is handled in the draw GUI event (obviously) So the issue im having is, how do i make a sprite appear at the bottom right of the screen when something in the step event is chosen. I have no idea.
Not intentially trying to complicate things, but i had the idea (before starting this of course) of what if the save icon was instead a tiny animation that lasted a few seconds and there were like 20, and one was chosen at random. i used the draw_sprite() just to test if anything was even being drawn, it was just at all times. i put irandom (si-1) as the sprite_index and the code i guess just randomly cycled through all of them endlessly changing 20 times a second. so if its possible, how would i also make the sprite chosen be one of 20 and only play one then dissapear.
If anyone has any ideas please let me know, ive been working on this for so long im about to give up. Thanks in advance to all.
