Tho I'll look into your suggestion, hopefully its 8.0 compatible.

Sorry, shaders were only added in Game Maker Studio, so I guess that won't be a possibility.

I can understand the pain of upgrading. Studio broke code execution while the engine is running (so no execute_string), but most stuff stayed the same, and there's tons of new features (OpenGL Wrappers, Networking, Cross platform support, C++ Compiler) so it could be something you might want to consider once you guys get closer to a stable release of the game.

There's d3d_set_fog(enable, colour, start, end) if anything.

Quote:When i code valo's movement, i still code his animations as if they were generic and simple sprite changes, but in his draw, will be something like the following. the generic animations i code valo with are made invisible by editing in the sprite editor, not code. I do this so valo has an 'animation skeleton' of sorts where i paste two skin sprites over it, an upper body sprite, and a wist and lower sprite. the following code is just for an upper body

//Draw the sprite as gamemaker would do so originally
draw_spritxt(sprite_index,image_index,round(x),round,image_xscale,image_yscale,image_angle,image_blend,image_alpha)

if armor=1{

if sprite_index=spr_idle{
draw_spritxt(spr_torsoarmor_idle,image_index,round(x),round,image_xscale,image_yscale,image_angle,image_blend,image_alpha) }

if sprite_index=spr_valo_walk{
draw_spritxt(spr_torsoarmor_walk,image_index,round(x),round,image_xscale,image_yscale,image_angle,image_blend,image_alpha) }

if sprite_index=spr_valo_shoot{
draw_spritxt(spr_torsoarmor_shoot,image_index,round(x),round,image_xscale,image_yscale,image_angle,image_blend,image_alpha) }

if sprite_index=spr_valo_backflip{
draw_spritxt(spr_torsoarmor_backflip,image_index,round(x),round,image_xscale,image_yscale,image_angle,image_blend,image_alpha) }

if sprite_index=spr_valo_jump{
draw_spritxt(spr_torsoarmor_jump,image_index,round(x),round,image_xscale,image_yscale,image_angle,image_blend,image_alpha) }

if sprite_index=spr_valo_run_shoot{
draw_spritxt(spr_torsoarmor_runshoot,image_index,round(x),round,image_xscale,image_yscale,image_angle,image_blend,image_alpha) }

if sprite_index=spr_valo_run{
draw_spritxt(spr_torsoarmor_run,image_index,round(x),round,image_xscale,image_yscale,image_angle,image_blend,image_alpha) }

}

(Then you might be able to condense your armor switch code as well as the normal sprites, based on movement variables)

If you give me your variables I could edit this code more for you.
though this may be plug and play; fair warning please back up before trying this. Though the code has no syntax errors.

Code:

//Idle
if armor=1 && vspeed=0
   then sprite_index=spr_valo_idle{sprite_index=spr_toroarmor_idle}
if armor=1 && hspeed=0
   then sprite_index=spr_valo_idle{sprite_index=spr_toroarmor_idle}
   
//Jumping (Rising/Falling)
if armor=1 && vspeed<1 or vspeed>-1
   then sprite_index=spr_valo_jump{sprite_index=spr_toroarmor_jump}
   
//Backflip
if armor=1 && backflip=true
   then sprite_index=spr_valo_backflip{sprite_index=spr_toroarmor_backflip}
if armor=1 && backflip=false
   then sprite_index=spr_valo_idle{sprite_index=spr_toroarmor_idle}
   
//Shooting
if armor=1 && shooting=true
   then sprite_index=spr_valo_shoot{sprite_index=spr_toroarmor_shoot}
if armor=1 && shooting=true && hspeed<0 or hspeed>0
   then sprite_index=spr_valo_run_shoot{sprite_index=spr_toroarmor_run_shoot}

//Running
if armor=1 && hspeed<3 or hspeed>-3
   then sprite_index=spr_valo_run{sprite_index=spr_toroarmor_run}
//Walking
if armor=1 && hspeed<=1 or hspeed>=1
   then sprite_index=spr_valo_walk{sprite_index=spr_toroarmor_walk}

//Draw our player
draw_sprite_ext(sprite_index,image_index,x,y,flipped,image_yscale,image_angle,image_blend,image_alpha)

Hope this may help, even if you don't use it you could learn from it. You seem to be a promising coder ^-^

I'd prefer not to use speed checks to define states, as this can lead to screwynes when moving platforms get involved. Or i may be overthinking it and it might not cause any issue.

Spoiler

I really need to redo this old art, theres so much wrong with the pose and shading...
