background_create_colour(w, h, col);
| Argument | Description |
|---|---|
| w | The width of the background. |
| h | The height of the background. |
| col | The colour to clear the background to. |
Returns: Real
This function creates a new background of the given width and
height cleared to the given colour. The function returns the index
of the newly created background and this should be stored in a
variable and used in all further calls that require this
background. If there is an error, the function returns -1.
NOTE: When you create a background dynamically with
GameMaker: Studio you must remember to remove it again (with
background_delete)
when no longer needed, otherwise there is risk of a memory leak
which will slow down and eventually crash your game.
t_back = background_create_colour(room_width, room_height, c_black);
The above code will create a new background the same size as the current room and colours it black. The index of this new background is stored in the variable "t_back".
