PoppyWorks / string_button()
Last active April 1, 2019 16:05
Replace common terms with special symbols for platform buttons
///string_button(string)
var str = argument0;
///XO - PlayStation Controller Keys
if os_type == (os_psvita || os_ps4)
{
str = string_replace_all(str,"CONFIRM","➀");
str = string_replace_all(str,"CANCEL","➁");
str = string_replace_all(str,"BUTTON3","➂");
str = string_replace_all(str,"BUTTON4","➃");

PoppyWorks / button_ui_held
Last active August 22, 2018 18:51
GML Script. Should be run on an object that you wish to have the player click. Create an obj_cursor for console users and move it around via the gamepad to have this script work for both gamepad. mouse, and touchscreen users.
///button_ui_held(device number, button)
var me = id;
return position_meeting(mouse_x,mouse_y,me) && mouse_check_button(mb_left) || place_meeting(x,y,obj_cursor) && gamepad_button_check(argument0,argument1)

PoppyWorks / button_check
Last active August 14, 2018 00:58
GML Script. Used in step after setup_inputs has been used. This is a generic input script that can change back and forth from keyboard/mouse to gamepad via the input_change swapper. Example: button_check(0,global.confirm);
///button_check(device number, button)
return keyboard_check(argument1) || gamepad_button_check(argument0,argument1)

PoppyWorks / gamepad_button_check_any
Created August 13, 2018 22:18
GML Script. Checks to see if the device number (argument0) was interacted with at all. Used in input_change() to know to swap inputs!
///gamepad_button_check_any(device)
device = argument0;
for ( var i = gp_face1; i < gp_axisrv; i++ )
{
if ( gamepad_button_check(device , i ) ) return i;
}
return false;

PoppyWorks / input_change
Last active August 14, 2018 01:00
GML Script. Knows what OS you are using, and if you are using a gamepad or keyboard/mouse. Use bootstrap after input_change(). Bootstrapper ensures that a gamepad is connected before allowing the user to swap over to gamepad input from Keyboard/mouse.
///PC users or PS4 Input
if os_type == os_windows || os_ps4 || os_xboxone
{
if gamepad_button_check_any(global.gpDevice)
{
global.KBMuser = false;
}
if keyboard_check(vk_anykey) || mouse_check_button(mb_any)
{
global.KBMuser = true;

PoppyWorks / setup_input
Created August 13, 2018 22:16
GML script. Sets up our globals for all input functions in other scripts posted here.
///setup_input(run in a create event!)
//gamepads
var gp_num = gamepad_get_device_count();
for (var i = 0; i < gp_num; i++;)
{
if gamepad_is_connected(i)
{
alert("DEBUG: "+ string(gamepad_get_description(i)),0)
}
else

PoppyWorks / alert
Last active July 27, 2018 02:02
GML Script. A basic multi-level wrapper for the debug/message system used in Gamemaker Studio. Alert will be seen throughout our samples here. When shipping, you can comment the entire script out easily!
///alert(level[0 to 3],message)
var level = argument0;
var text = argument1;
{
switch (argument0)
{
case 0: show_debug_message("DEBUG: "+text); break;
case 1: show_debug_message("ERROR: "+text); break;
case 2: show_message("ALERT: "+text); break;

PoppyWorks / audio_play
Created July 23, 2018 01:34
GML Script. By using this after our setup_listeners(); gist, you can play audio on any listener, fade over time, and loop.
///audio_play(listener,snd_filename,fade in time[ms],loop?)
var listener = argument0;
var sfx = argument1;
var time = argument2;
var loop = argument3;
if gamepad_is_connected(listener)
{
sfx = audio_play_sound_on(listener, sfx, loop, 0);
}
else if listener == noone || listener == -1

PoppyWorks / setup_audio
Last active August 14, 2018 10:49
GML Script. This sets up all listeners available on a target platform. In the case of PS4, you can use this to play audio on a DS4 speaker. Run before running anything using audio_play_sound_on();. In addition, this fixes GMS games being too quiet or low volume on consoles. Best run in a Create event.
///setup_audio();
var lc = audio_get_listener_count();
var masks;
masks[0] = 0;
masks[1] = 0;
masks[2] = 0;
masks[3] = 0;
alert("Number of Audio Listeners: " + string(lc),0)

PoppyWorks / draw_fade_color
Last active July 23, 2018 16:58
GML script. Will fade the screen to the chosen color. Returns true when done. This can be used to change rooms when it returns. Line 6 can be un-commented to do the fade to color in steps, to simulate old-school style color fading.
///draw_fade_color(color,speed/alplha)
alert(0,"Fading..." + "(" + (string(color_fade_alpha)) +"). Cannot pause game." )
can_pause = false;
depth = -100000
var snapped = color_fade_alpha//= floor(color_fade_alpha * 10)/10
draw_set_colour(argument0)
draw_set_alpha(snapped);
draw_rectangle(0, 0, view_xview [0] + view_wview[0], view_yview[0] + view_hview[0], false);
draw_set_blend_mode_ext(bm_src_colour,bm_zero);
