Useful GML Scripts

Useful GML Scripts

A collection of useful, reuseable GML script I've made over the years.

The scripts are divided into two categories:

Standalone

A library of largely independent helper functions and structs that are easily integrated into any project.

Components

A library of more complex prefabs, such as a control input manager and menu systems.

NOTE: These are not 100% production-ready, mostly because they are not fully-documented.

useful-gml-scripts's Issues

Add new demos

• Blin
• Vector operations
• String Split
• Hide overflow
• Choose from array
• Text Object
• Menu Switching
• Array Is Subset
• JSONC File Parse
• Enhanced Control Manager

Control Manager Improvements

• split keyboard and mouse into different maps?
• rename ControlManagerPlayer to something else

Make get_edge_position reusable

This script is still specific to the project it came from. Rewrite variable names to generalize it.

Migrate Scripts to GMS 2.3

• Colours
  • interpolate_rgb is DEPRECATED. It is redundant since duplicates the native GML function merge_colour.
• Data Structures
• Debugging
• Delta Timing
  • DT Alarm scripts converted into DeltaTimeAlarmManager struct
• Drawing
  • draw_circle_meter
    • uses triangle strips instead of triangle fan
    • sprite texture is now optional
    • draw target is now a surface
    • starting angle and direction can be specified
  • draw_curved_meter completely rewritten with most of the same enhancements as draw_circle_meter
• Easing
  • Added In/Out easings
• Geometry
  • Added LineSegment and Rectangle structs.
  • Refactored functions to use Math and Geometry structs.
• Input
  • Added detection of more keys
• Math
  • Added structs: Vector2, Vector3, DynamicValue
  • Refactored functions to use Vectors instead of arrays
  • Renamed soft_max and soft_min to soft_ceiling and soft_floor respectively
• Strings
• Web
