Title: A little known feature of GM
Post by: Wasabi on August 11, 2007, 11:33:43 am: http://gmc.yoyogames.com/index.php?showtopic=286130

I never knew you could do that. That would help soooo much for making things like teleporters and stuff, no more heaps of different ones for every area.

What helps most is the instance creation code. EDIT: But it's not something absolutely necessary, there are other ways to do it.

True, but for things like I just use a script.
Also I could use a script for one object and use this to have a different sprite and mask for the object...the same object but with a different look...only i understand what I'm saying xD
Yes this is old, still is good that you posted so people who didn't know will know about it.

Post by: OriZak on August 12, 2007, 12:46:36 am: I didn't know about this until I saw a topic about it a month or two ago. It is incredibly useful though. I was always doing that stuff in the room creation code by creating the instances there and setting values to them. This should be out there more.

Post by: Wasabi on August 12, 2007, 02:38:00 am: I agree. That's why I made this topic XD.

Post by: Dumb_Ass on August 22, 2007, 11:21:46 pm: I knew that, but from the manual. I thought everyone reads the manual?
Title: Re: A little known feature of GM
Post by: sjegtp on August 22, 2007, 11:33:46 pm: I read it, but not thoroughly...
I mean, it's quite big for you to read it word by word, isn't it?
