Sorry, I had asking a super general question.
Is there a way to just create text to float outside of an object? The tutorials I'm following havent answered that question for me.
The best I've done so far was create a specific text object, and call a script from the object I want to display text. I'm wondering if theres just a way to do it DIRECTLY from the object.
For example. Circle B collides with square. Circle b then outputs -11 hp directly above it, and it fades away.
Can anyone help, or point me to a tutorial that does this?
Create a specific object is the way to go - as you are doing now but with a subtle change.
If you use something like the following:
inst=instance_create_layer(x,y,"hud",obj_message); inst.message="Not all zombies\nkilled\ntry again";You can create a new object and assign a message to it.
For fading I do something like:
Create Event:
fade=1;
