Hit effects are animations that play in a specific position for a set amount of time. The game has many built-in visual effects, but you can also create your own.
You can create an effect from a custom sprite using
hit_fx_create( sprite_index, animation_length ) Reference→
and then either assign it to the hitbox grid by calling
set_hitbox_value( attack, hitbox, index, value ) Reference→
or manually spawn it:
spawn_hit_fx( x, y, hit_fx_index ) Reference→
You can also access the hit_fx_object directly to change the following variables:
| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
| hit_fx | The index of the hit effect. |
| pause_timer | Set to 0 to pause the effect |
| pause | The amount of frames to pause when you set pause_timer to 0 |
| draw_angle | The angle at which to draw the effect |
| spr_dir | The direction the effect is facing 1 = right -1 = left |
