Much like when I play World of Warcraft I consistently get 200fps, but only 60 is displayed. A boolean is simply a value that can either be true or false.Note that currently GameMaker will interpret a real number equal to or below 0.5 as a false value, and any real number greater than 0.5 as being true.

Studio uses separate metrics for calculating the visual display speed and the actual frame buffer in the background. For the most part you don't have to do anything - old-style 2d accessors will work just fine: var a2d a2d = 3 Īs you have noticed yourself, array_height_2d does not work correctly with 1d arrays as there is no longer a difference between a 2d array and an array with arrays in it.
