Quick question for help ;) (ask for multiple rooms)

[Darnok]

if(room = Leaderboards || lb_tutorial || lb_level_1 || lb_level_2 || lb_level_3 || lb_level_4 || lb_level_5)
{
//draw the leaderboard
draw_leaderboard(room_get_name(room),32,32);
}

how can i check for all these rooms at once without listing them like that?

thx

Enable the object's persistent option.
Use a variable to enable the draw of this text, if it's true, draw it. You can turn this variable on in each room, and in Room End it off.

sorry i dont really understand with the object you mean the room or the object that draws ? and what dose presistent do ? thx

Put in the object, that draws, the one you edit code, in the Game Maker IDE.

When an object is persistent, it is not destroyed when changing rooms, even when you manually destroy it.

There are several ways to do what you want. I would particularly put them all in an array and then do a loop, if the value is equal to the room variable, I activate the text.
Or simply use a switch the Create Event.

You can't do that in the first place. I mean, you totally can, but it won't do what you think it does or want it to do.
