background_colour

This variable can be changed to change the current room's background colour.

Syntax:

background_colour


Returns: Real


Description

When in a room, it can have no background image selected for any of its background_index, in which case you should set a background colour with this variable and make sure that the background_showcolour variable is set to true so it can be seen. Having a room with no background image and no background colour will result in graphical artefacts being drawn on the screen and is not recommended.


Example:

if background_index[0] = -1
   {
   background_colour= c_black;
   background_showcolour = true;
   }

The above code checks to see if background0 has an image assigned to it and if not it sets the background colour to black and flags it to be shown.
