Why doesn't this work in the wack ass Game Maker?  >:(

Code: [Select]
draw_set_color(16777215);
draw_roundrect(view_xview[0] + 16, view_yview[0] + 16, view_xview[0] + view_wview[0] - 16, view_yview[0] + 16 + 64, 0);
I place it in the Create Event with no background color and yet it does not draw but only in the Draw Event.

Probably because GM only calls the Draw event when it captures a API paint event, and the other events are done at other times, meaning that if you draw ouside the Draw event its probably drawing to some unknown place.

GM redraws the screen each step, and each step it calls the draw event at the right time for you to draw what you want and it be seen. So it does draw it, however only for such a small time you can't see it. Although you'd think it would stay with no background colour, well, it doesn't, as the window is still refreshing each step.

You can disable the redrawing of the screen automatically by using set_automatic_draw(0), and then use screen_refresh() after each draw command.

What do you mean by "how much"? set_automatic_draw stops it from automatically calling the draw event every step. set_synchronization synchronizes the drawing with the refresh rate of the monitor.

Lol, I was just playing with set_automatic_draw, redrawing the screen onces every 5 steps, it looked like a strobe light. I even made the room black with a flashing white light, it looks aewsome.
