I need some help while using Sprite Fonts in GM7 Pro.

I have loaded the sprite font as a sprite, named spr_font.

In an object's Create function, i have added:

global.font1 = font_add_sprite(spr_font,32,true,1);

Then in the Draw function:

draw_set_font(global.font1);
draw_text(10,10, "Welcome");

The object is placed in the room, but I do not see the text drawn on screen.

I guess the issue is with the sprite font itself, coz I have tried all the parameter combinations in the code.

Brief Description
Drop The Gifts is my first game made using GameMaker. I wanted to make a game that had Christmas as its theme, and thus was created Drop The Gifts. I have also entered this game in the Zerosoft Games Christmas competition.


Game Info
In this game, the player plays as Santa Claus and has to deliver gifts to the houses in time for Christmas. The houses can only receive gifts of the same color. Crashing into incoming aircrafts takes away one of the gift that Santa Claus is carrying.

Thanks for reading the post and playing the game. All your comments are appreciated.

Drop The Gifts is my first game made using GameMaker. Its a side scroller game in which you play Santa and have to deliver Christmas gifts to the different houses. You have to beat the clock as well as drop the gifts on the right colored houses.

v0.4 Update:
Added aircrafts that the player has to avoid. Crashing into an aircraft makes you lose one gift that you are carrying.

Hi All,

In my game, I want to create an instance of an object if the player presses the space key. I want it to work in GML mainly because I would be choosing from more than 4 objects, which is a limitation of DnD.

This is what I do in GML

[codebox] if (keyboard_check(vk_space)) then
instance_create(x,y,choose(obj1,obj2))[/codebox]

The problem is that, if I press the space key, more than one object is created at the spot. If I use DnD this works fine.

Looking for some help.
