Fixing in place a full screen object

[shaun9991]

Hi guys,

I'm playing around with rain animations. I have a walkable screen which is massive, something like 2000 x 800. The game resolution is 640x400. Is it possible to overlay a transparent object that is animating (rain), and have this fixed to cover the screen wherever the player is walking around? Does that make sense? Any help is much appreciated. I'm guessing it's something for repeatedly execute but I can't seem to get it right.

Thanks,

Shaun

Maybe just use transparent non-clickable GUI to draw rain over?

Of course

Thank you very much Crimson Wizard!

On other hand, I could be missing some drawbacks. I do not make games much .

As for the object, it should be fairly simple too:

Code: ags

function repeatedly_execute_always()
{
   oRain.X = GetViewportX();
   oRain.Y = GetViewportY();
}

The origin of Objects is the bottom left. So you the Y coord would be GetViewportY() + System.ViewportHeight

Thanks guys, both of these work perfectly
