Resets a value from the attack grid to the one originally initialized in [attack_name].gml.

Example, called from attack_update.gml:

// resets the number of jab windows to a number previously set in jab.gml:
reset_attack_value( AT_JAB, AG_NUM_WINDOWS );

Overwrites a value from the attack grid for the specified attack and index. Default values are always 0.

Example, called from jab.gml:

// sets the sprite of a jab attack to a custom sprite named "jab":
set_attack_value( AT_JAB, AG_SPRITE, sprite_get ( "jab" ) );

Returns a value (real or undefined) from the attack grid for the specified attack and index.

Example, called from attack_update.gml:

// gives the character super armor during the final window of the attack:
if (window == get_attack_value( attack, AG_NUM_WINDOWS ) ) {
super_armor = true;
}

Refreshes the character’s shader values. If you change any of their shader colors (including outline color), you must call this to tell the game the values have changed.

Example, called from update.gml:

// set the character's outline color to red:
outline_color = [ 255, 0, 0 ];
// tell the shader to update the character's colors:
init_shader();
// set the character's outline color back to black, but don't tell the shader that you changed it. This way, if the character action is interrupted before you can manually set the outline color back to black, it will still change back:
outline_color = [ 0, 0, 0 ];
