Objects

Creating a new object

You can create new GameMaker objects:

mod.resource.object.create({
  name: "hud",
  persistent: true,
  // Before writing new GML, you can register variables here
  // this is useful as it will automatically add prefixes to it
  // so you don't risk name collisions with games or other mods.
  vars: ["count"],
  events: {
    create: ({ v }) => `${v.count} = 0;`,
    step: ({ v, send }) => `
      if (keyboard_check_pressed(ord("H"))) {
        ${v.count} += 1;
        // Send a GML -> JS event
        ${send("bumped", `string(${v.count})`)}
      }
    `,
    draw: ({ v }) => `draw_text(8, 8, "count: " + string(${v.count}));`,
  },
  // React to a JS -> GML event
  receive: {
    reset: ({ v }) => `${v.count} = 0;`,
  },
});
