this is one of the best blur effects which uses surfaces in GM, and if you open it
in GMS, nothing happen.because screen_redraw() function in obsolete now in GMS.

is there any way to get the same result in GMS ?

yes, use a draw-event for this. You'll have to manage the draw events more closely though (as you wouldn't wish to draw over something else etc).

There's no easy way to replicate screen_redraw() if you're relying on depth order. If you're not, it's as easy as 'with (all) {event_perform(ev_draw, 0)}' for the objects, and something similar for the backgrounds and tiles.

So the better thing to do would be to have everything drawn to a surface in the first place. You can set the surface as the draw target using surface_set_target(id), or you can have the view's contents copied to the surface by assigning view_surface_id[0] to a surface's id.

with (all) {event_perform(ev_draw, 0)} wont work.. at least it didnt when i tried (that was.. on the beta i think)

What I do is just with (object) {draw whatever you need here}, it should be faster than screen_redraw(), the only problem is that you need to remember to change both the with()'s and the draw event from the objects whenever you change them..

Strange. I hadn't tried it with GM:S yet, but didn't think enough had changed for it to be invalid.
