I cannot reference a local variable via a string of its name (afaik) in GMS2 so I did the next best thing (put it in a struct which I CAN find the name of via string) then just replace marked stuff in a string. This feels incredibly silly.
![a screenshot of code that is as follows:
function Text_Parse_Replacer(_text,_valueStruct){
//Parses the text obtained from Lexicon and converts it into a string usable by Scribble
//quite possibly the dumbest shit ive ever written if it works.
var _nameList = variable_struct_get_names(_valueStruct);
for(var i = 0; i < array_length(_nameList); i++)
{
var _valueName = _nameList[i];
var _value = string(variable_struct_get(_valueStruct,_valueName)) //always gotta be a string!
_text = string_replace_all(_text,"["+_valueName+"]",_value);
}
return _text;

So my autistic hyperfixation had led me away from drawing, in case it wasn't obvious. Oops. I swear I'll get back to it, there's a lot I wanna draw yet with my ocs, but I have been busy with a gms2 project so it's not like I'm not doing anything at all :^)

I’ve not touched a language for gaming since the C64 days. I mainly use python these days for doing data science. So far I’m just experimenting with GMS2.
I’ll update.

I'm not used to GMS2's interface yet, but I'm already feeling it since I've messed around with GMS1 since 2017 :)

Entered into Maplestory after the GMS2 was canned(I still miss it), and no other MMOs besides MS2 have sticked with me as well as MS1. Don't know why no other MMOs sticked when I know how predatory Maplestory can get, but I still happily play it because it's cute and big numbers makes me happy ^^

Quick question for #GameDev ppl: I've been working with Godot for a few months (almost a year) and a person who wants help making a game (only has a concept and a GDD) asks if I can work with GMS2. Should I learn GMS2 or should I tell that person that I can help but if it's with Godot?
