Hello, I was looking into paths and had a great success with it so far. My only issue is drawing a line from the objects starting position to the left click position. I currently have this code to draw a 1 pixel-wide line for the path, but I want to set the width of the path line to around 5 pixels.
[codebox]
//Draw Event
draw_set_color(c_red);
draw_set_alpha(0.6);
draw_path(pth_define,0,0,true);//pth_define is the path name
[/codebox]
Is there any way of tweaking it so that I could achieve this? Any help is appreciated! Thank you,

Just change the draw method in the loop

I thought of another way to do it, but I'm not too sure how to do it, either..Would it be possible to draw a line that conforms to the shape of a path? I'm trying to have a Fire Emblem / Advance Wars style movement. Any help is appreciated!

I checked the link from Icuurd´s post above and stripped the code down to this...

var nu,i,p;
nu = path_get_number(mypath);
n = path_get_precision(mypath)*nu;
for (i = 0; i < n-1; i += 1)
{
draw_line_width(path_get_x(mypath, i/n), path_get_y(mypath, i/n), path_get_x(mypath, (i+1)/n), path_get_y(mypath, (i+1)/n),6);
}

it works, but if the precision is less than 8 it looks a bit odd...

Another way would be to use this

for (i=-3; i<4; i+=1)
{
draw_path(mypath,path_get_x(mypath,0)+i,path_get_y(mypath,0)+i,false);
}

But, again, it looks a bit odd...

Don´t know if this is any help, but at least it may point you in the right direction!

I also have a banner tutorial that draws textured primitive using paths... You can check it out
