So ive looked up the new article in the news window when you start game maker and there the person talked about how to solve the transparency cutting out anything that is behind it, which by using the default setting in GM2 is enabling ztesting or somthing (gpu_set_ztestenable(true)), i dont have GM2, but i have the same problem in GMS1.
but game maker studio doesnt have that and i was wondering how do i fix this in GMS1?

You mean to say this thing is solvable?

GM:S 1.4 does have this, but it's called d3d_set_zwriteenable there.

Because alpha testing is very much valid for both 2D and 3D.

Im not saying there's any 'problems' in 2D. I am just saying that you have the option to turn off alpha testing if you want to (thus improving frame rates).

This is why I was saying that it should remain a draw_* function instead of a d3d_* function, as it is relevant in both.
