Hello, so i've been working on a sprint/stamina bar for a while now. I`m kinda facing a problem right now. The draw_ functions can only be used under the draw events which i`m not able to use so on the characters draw event as it's gonna mess up things for me. I don't even want to use it there, as i need the sprint bar "fixed" somewhere on the screen.

So, i was thinking. If i put the draw code under let's say, a stamina bar object. How would i be able to make that object read the code from the character's STEP and Create. As that's where the variable and code are.

If i try the object by itself, it will say that the variables are not created and if i create them under the stamina bar object, they ain't update as the update code is under Step in the char's object.



Thanks to anyone willing to help!

If what you meant with reading code is accessing obj_player's variable while in other object event, then just use obj_player.your_variable.
Hope it helps.

The step event is executed before the Draw event, so referencing the player's variables in the draw event will show use the variables as they have been set by the end of the End Step event.

So, it was that easy... char.stamina... thank you very much .

TheouAgeis. Sorry, didn't fully understand your point but, all i needed was to read an dynamic variable from the player object to use it in another object.
