If the event selected already has code in it, then this willįor information on the rest of the right-click menu options, see the section on Editing, below. Add /Open Event: This permits you to add a new event to the object the current script belongs to, and will open a new code tab in the Script Editor for the added event.Go to Object: This will take you to the workspace that the object with the code is on and focus on the object.Restore to workspace: This will take the script editor out of a maximised/workspace state and re-chain it to the object in the workspace.Note that if you are editing code from an object event in the script editor and you have maximised the script editor or have it on a separate window or workspace, then the right-click editor menu will have some extra options:

Gamemaker studio 2 script arguments how to#
This section simply details how the script editor works, and not how to create script assets nor how to use GML Code or GML Visual to make scripts. This editor is used for creating custom script assets, as well as for coding object events, for adding room creation code, and for many other things.

This section deals with the script editor (also called the text editor) which is where you type in all the code that your game will require to run.
