trying to create dark area by drawing rectangle.SOLVED

[mr_starfire]

Hi guys so as the title suggest im trying to draw a rectangle with alpha to make a darker section of my platformer
my code goes as such i have a object called obj_shade_con

(CREATE EVENT)

x1 = 1696
y1 = 736
x2 = 2784
y2 = 736

(DRAW EVENT)

draw_set_colour(c_black);
draw_set_alpha(0.8);
draw_rectangle(x1,y1,x2,y2,0);
draw_set_alpha(1);

I'm sure you guys can see an obvious problem but it's eluding me . by the way the above code seems to do nothing at all

Why did you set y1 to the same value as y2? This creates a rectangle of height 0.
