[SOLVED] Game draws stuff outside of its boundaries! | GameMaker Kitchen | Page 1

Hello,

i've been having this problem for a long time now but since im polishing everything in my game to prepare for a test build for my game testers i've decided to finally fix this.

I own an 21:9 monitor but my game doesnt support that resolution and im too far in to just "add it". Afaik i've never made any changes to this, but im able to draw beyond these borders. The game itself renders correctly.

the 0,0 point is also correctly set. with it being the top left if it were a 16:9 monitor.

i've added two pictures of how it looks right now and how it should be.

thanks in advance :D

if you are drawing anything in the post draw event or the pre draw event, they are bound to the window size not gui size

#

Nope-- all done within Draw GUI

#

are you using display set gui maximised

lucid star May 31, 2023, 12:22 AM

#

as far as i can see, nope

deep bear May 31, 2023, 12:26 AM

#

you dont set your gui size anywhere?

lucid star May 31, 2023, 12:29 AM

#

Never thought i needed to do that. But adding display_set_gui_size(1920, 1080) sadly doesnt fix the problem

#

huh... interesting... so i made a new project real quick and drew something outside the Intended area and it even happens there... interesting

are you drawing it to a negative position?

lucid star May 31, 2023, 12:58 AM

#

yes

deep bear May 31, 2023, 12:58 AM

#

well, yeah, haha that would do it

lucid star May 31, 2023, 12:59 AM

#

haha, but wouldnt game maker make these black bars so nothing could get drawn there? 🤔

deep bear May 31, 2023, 1:00 AM

#

those black bars are under the gui, and to the sides othe application surface

lucid star May 31, 2023, 1:00 AM

#

ooooooooooh

deep bear May 31, 2023, 1:00 AM

#

they are still within the view frustum, just with negative world coordinates

#

tbh i kinda had a feeling thats what you were doing i should i have asked first lol

lucid star May 31, 2023, 1:01 AM

#

hahaha no worries. So i guess the best solution is to make the black bars for the GUI myself?

deep bear May 31, 2023, 1:03 AM

#

i think it would be better to just not draw anything to negative positions

lucid star May 31, 2023, 1:04 AM

#

yea i know. but for instance the Background of my Main Menu is zoomed in at launch which causes it to extend outside

deep bear May 31, 2023, 1:04 AM

#

ah gotcha yeah

#

then a couple of draw rectangles in draw gui end event prolly do ya good

lucid star May 31, 2023, 1:05 AM

#

exactly what i was thinkin'

#

Alrighty then! Thank you!
