Welcome to the GMEdit wiki!

Check out the "Pages" section on the right side.

Here's a small breakdown of additional language features that GMEdit offers on top of GML:

Feature	What you can do	Instead of what
#args	#args a, b // optional arguments: #args a, b = 4, ?c	var a = argument0, b = argument1; // optional arguments: var a = argument[0]; var b = argument_count > 1 ? argument[1] : 4; var c = argument_count > 2 ? argument[2] : undefined;
#import	#import variable_instance_get as v_get var v = v_get(self, "some"); // multiple items: #import scr_some_package.* as Pkg Pkg.one(1); return Pkg.two(2);	// [transformed to in saved file] var v = variable_instance_get(self, "some"); // multiple items: scr_some_package_one(1); return scr_some_package_two(2);
types	var v:Grid = new Grid(4, 4); v.set(0, 0, "hi"); var r = v.get(0, 0); enum Some { one, two, sizeof } var v:Some = Some(); v.one = 1; r = v.two;	var v = ds_grid_create(4, 4); ds_grid_set(v, 0, 0, "hi"); var r = ds_grid_get(v, 0, 0); enum Some { one, two, sizeof } var v = array_create(Some.sizeof); v[@Some.one] = 1; r = v[Some.two];
inline functions	on_click = #lambda { trace("hi!"); } on_destroy = #lambda { trace("bye!"); }	on_click = scr_obj_test_on_click; on_destroy = scr_obj_test_on_destroy; // ... in scr_obj_test_on_click: trace("hi!"); // ... in scr_obj_test_on_destroy: trace("bye!");
coroutines	/// array_foreach(array) #gmcr var arr = argument0; var len = array_length_1d(arr); for (var i = 0; i < len; i++) { yield arr[i]; } // used like: var iter = array_foreach(0, myarray); while (array_foreach(iter)) { show_debug_message(iter[0]); }	For practical reasons, you wouldn't do this to yourself
