you can call the event_perform function on the object?

with(theObject)
{
  event_perform(ev_keypress,vk_enter); //'simulates' enter key?
}

from what I understand its effects all players who has ATI Graphic Cards which doesn't work well with vertical Sync in Windows Mode
it means that we loose near a half of possible customers...

I am running an nvidia graphics card. there is still screen tear

it really is as big of an issue as its people make it out to be. if you are creating a fast paced game, you need to rely on the screen to be able to keep up. gameplay is effected when all the screen tearing gets in your way. its distracting and detracts from the experience

looking forward to that fix in 9.0..

another bump..but i've run into 2 snags.

firstly, i cant seem to change the texture wrap mode from anything except clamp. (I specifically set it to mirror, but its just clamping)

secondly, when i add a background image to my game my shaders behave weird.. you see, the really strange part is that the background doesn't even need to be used. if there is a background sitting in my backgrounds folder, my shaders still screw up. (the shader i am using is pretty much a copy of your distort shader, except that it takes a second texture and copies that textures alpha value into the resulting image..so nothing complicated).


edit:

just wanted to commend you on what an awesome job you did regardless.. came into the thread with problems so i just thought i'd point that out lol. the possibility this unlocks..awesome.

edit edit:

using gamemaker 8

sprite, texture. same thing
