So essentially, we grab an area that's larger than what we want the end result to be (by a factor of how much the view zooms – see the "ratio" below), scale it down so that it matches everything else, and then draw it. The solution to this is to manually scale the "effect surface" before redrawing it so it's the same size as everything else. When you draw the surface, though, the view scales this up as well - leading to double scaling. You then copy this scaled up version to your new surface. This is because the view is scaling up everything when it is drawn to the application surface. In this case, the surface with the effect gets zoomed more than once. your view size and view port are different). It will work fine if you are not using views, but if you are, the fact that the application surface is NOT relative to the view makes things more difficult, especially if your view "zooms" at all (i.e. We are going to copy the part of the application surface (what gamemaker draws to the screen) into a new surface, and then apply the shader to that before drawing. Next, put this object in your room and resize it to cover the area you wish to apply the shader to. For example, you want to have an area that has a heat ripple, or a psychadelic region, or a waterfall (the original use I came up with this for).įor starters, create an "effect" object and apply a single colour 32x32 sprite to it. OK, so let's start off with the basics: You want to be able to make a shader apply to EVERY object, including the background, but only in certain portions of the screen. I don't want to have to explain it all from scratch here.
PREREQUISITES: Please please please read up in the documentation on how surfaces work. Hit him up if you're working in that environment. If you have this problem, you will have to manually flip it back before drawing.ĬREDIT: u/Drenathor was the original instigator of me looking into this, and gave some good insight into how these things work in GMS 2. Apparently 2 has a bit of a bug that flips surfaces, but I don't have it to test. By no means am I an expert, and if you have a better method by all means let me know. So, there have been a few questions like this over the past 3 or so months (since I started following the sub), so I thought I'd write a tutorial to help out.
