Question - Code [RESOLVED]draw_tile_ext

It seems 'draw_tile_ext' has been removed, and there currently is not a way to change tile/layer alpha.

- The function 'draw_set_alpha' doesn't work when using 'draw_tile' in a draw event, or when used in layer-scripts.
- Drawing the tiles to a surface and controlling the surface alpha doesnt work for large rooms/layers.
- I need layer alpha :(

ho you are right. There is a link to draw_tile_ext in the docs of draw_tile. But the function not available.

Seems there still the possibility to use a shader with layer_shader if you want to play with a layer alpha. (didn't test it ^^)

Hmm, that might actually be the best route, so far.

@sylvain_l A mixture of shader scripts to set uniforms, and 'layer_shader' worked...
Thanks for the idea!
