PushEd

Or shortly just PEd, is a 2D/3D level editor for GameMaker: Studio 1.4, originally released by our team BlueBurn in 2014 as a paid extension. Now, on the sunset of GMS1.4, it's released for free, for everyone, forever!

Setup

It can happen that PEd uses different variables for object transformations than you have in you project. So before starting to use PEd, we recommend you to check if the variables are matching, otherwise you would not be able to use the editor. To do so, go to Macros > Default and you should see a short list of constants. Each constants represents a variable.

Macro Description
PEd_VAR_POS_X Instance position on X axis
PEd_VAR_POS_Y Instance position on Y axis
PEd_VAR_POS_Z* Instance position on Z axis
PEd_VAR_ROT_X* Instance rotation around X axis
PEd_VAR_ROT_Y* Instance rotation around Y axis
PEd_VAR_ROT_Z Instance rotation around Z axis
PEd_VAR_SCALE_X Instance scale on X axis
PEd_VAR_SCALE_Y Instance scale on Y axis
PEd_VAR_SCALE_Z* Instance scale on Z axis
PEd_VAR_COLOUR Instance colour
PEd_VAR_ALPHA Instance alpha

List of automatically saved variables:

x, y, image_angle, image_xscale, image_yscale, image_blend, image_alpha

These variables are ALWAYS saved into the room file (both GM's native and external). Any other additional variable has to be written into instance's creation code. Writing variables into the creation code is done by PEd_instanceAutocompleteCode. Loading variables from creation code, which is necessary only for external "*.bbmap" room files (in GM's native rooms this is done automatically), is done in PEd_assignVariable. So if you make any changes to the constants, make sure that you have also rewritten variable names in those two scripts.

* - Additional variables, necessary only for 3D transformations. If you are using PEd for creating 2D levels, you can leave these constants as they are.
