This script draws an outline around your text, really simple to use. No credit required.

Place outline() in the draw event.

// Script outline(text,outline_color,text_color)
xx=0;
yy=room_height;
// Change above variables to fit your needs.

draw_set_color(argument1);
draw_set_valign(fa_bottom);
for (i=8;i<11;i+=1) {
  for (ii=8;ii<11;ii+=1) {
    draw_text(xx+i,yy-ii,argument0);
  }
}
draw_set_color(argument2);
draw_text(xx+9,yy-9,argument0);

Tell me how it goes

This script has been made a couple of times before... with even more functionality

Didn't know... I was trying it out for myself and I just thought I'd share.

thx

Yup, the best I've seen was the 3D text , but this works anyways.

brilliant, thank you. i'd suggest having 2 more arguments and making them for xx and yy, i modified your code to do that. this way it is just:
outline("text", c_black, c_white, 320, 240), if you get what i mean.

[Josh]

Yeah

I modified mine too and ended up getting some alpha values for the outline. It looks really nice with a 0.3 alpha on the outlined text.
