[b][size=150][SOLVED][/size][/b] The objects themselves that do the drawing must also follow the view, as the code makes the sun and moon fade out as they go offscreen. The sun and moon in my game, I cannot get them to follow the screen D: they circle the screen perfectly, but won't follow the view. I'll post the code that the sun and moon use here. Anyone who could help, please give me a hand obj_sun: [spoiler][color=#fe0]Create Event:[/color] [code]//Set up some arrays to hold information about the glare lines. var i; glareCount=50; for(i=0;i<glareCount;i+=1){ glareAngle[i]=random(360); glareDelta[i]=1-random(2);//How much the angles should change at each step. glareLength[i]=0.13+random(0.3); } alpha = 1 direction = 120 start = 120 speed = 0.05 x = view_xview[0]+352 y = view_yview[0]+64 touch = false fade = 0 //for the future lighting system dark = 125 orange = 0[/code] [color=#5a70b3]Step Event:[/color] [code]//Update the angles for the glare lines. var i; for(i=0;i<glareCount;i+=1)glareAngle[i]+=glareDelta[i]; if y<view_yview[0]-28 or x<view_xview[0]-28 or y>view_yview[0]+100 alpha -= 0.01; if y>view_yview[0]-28 and y<view_yview[0]+100 alpha += 0.001; if alpha > 1 { alpha = 1; fade = 0; } if alpha < 0 alpha = 0; direction += 0.015; if direction > 360 direction = start; if y > view_yview[0]+100 && alpha = 0 && !instance_exists(obj_moon) instance_create(view_xview[0]+342,view_yview[0]+64,obj_moon); if alpha = 0 && x < view_xview[0]-28 && y > view_yview[0]+100 && fade < 0.35 fade += 0.005; if y>view_yview[0]-28 and y<view_yview[0]+100 && alpha < 1 fade -= 0.005; if fade > 0.35 fade = 0.35; if fade < 0 fade = 0; if x < view_xview[0]+64 && y > view_yview[0]+24 { if orange < 0.3 orange += 0.0025; if orange = 0.3 out = 1; dark -= 1; } if dark < 32 dark = 32; if dark > 125 dark = 125; if orange > 0.3 orange = 0.3; if orange < 0 orange = 0; if x > view_xview[0]+260 && y < view_yview[0]+210 dark += 1; if instance_exists(obj_moon) orange -= 0.0025;[/code] [color=#fb8a00]Draw Event:[/color] [color=#ee4a2d]draw_flare()[/color] draw_flare Script: [code]//Draws a lens flare focused between the calling object and the center of the screen. //Determine the x and y distances between the sun and the CENTER OF THE VISIBLE SCREEN... //var flareSizeX,flareSizeY;//Note that these are not declared.

I solved it ^( ^ I changed this: [code]flareSizeX=view_wview[0]/2-x;//Realistically, you probably have views, which would require an actual calculation here. flareSizeY=view_hview[0]/2-y;//Note that means these two lines must very likely be replaced when put into actual use.[/code] to this: [code]flareSizeX=view_xview[0]+160-x;//Realistically, you probably have views, which would require an actual calculation here. flareSizeY=view_yview[0]+120-y;//Note that means these two lines must very likely be replaced when put into actual use.[/code] and it works perfectly ^( ^ thanks to all ^( ^

Hey, I tried finding out how to make a Sun on Game Maker! Thanks, can I use your code, please? I'll give credit!
