effect_create_below(kind, x, y, size, colour);
| Argument | Description |
|---|---|
| kind | The kind of effect (use one of the constants listed here). |
| x | The x positioning of the effect if relevant. |
| y | The y positioning of the effect if relevant. |
| size | The size of the effect. |
| colour | The colour of the effect. |
Returns: N/A
With this function you can create a simple effect beneath all
instances of your room (it is actually created at a depth of
100000). If the effect is anything other ef_rain or ef_snow then you can define an x/y
position to create the effect, and the size can be a value of 0, 1,
or 2, where 0 is small, 1 is medium and 2 is large.
It is worth noting that these effects can have their drawing
toggled on and off, as well as have their drawing paused, by using
the functions part_system_automatic_draw
and part_system_automatic_update
with the appropriate value for the particle system index (where 0
is for effects below and 1 is for effects above).
if speed > 0
{
effect_create_below(ef_smoke, x, y, 0,
c_gray);
}
The above code will create a small puff of gray smoke every step that the instance speed is greater than 0 at the instance x,y coordinates.
