Rooms

This section deals with the functions related to rooms.

Rooms in GameMaker: Studio are where everything happens in your game and you must have at least one room in any game for it to run, but in general you will need many more. This section has all the GML functions related to rooms and getting information about them or even setting certain properties within them. It should be noted that those functions related to changing room properties should never be run from within the room that you wish to change, but rather be run from an instance in another room first.
