Returns the team of the specified player. If team mode is off, it will return the player number.

Example, called from hit_player.gml:

// this character plays a sound effect when they hit their teammate:
if (get_player_team( hit_player ) == get_player_team( player )) {
sound_play( sound_get( "oops" ));
}

Returns the current “CPU Action” setting in training mode. Can be used in ai_update.gml to separate attack code from other code (like recovery code).

▼ Return values:

When not in training mode, the function will always return CPU_FIGHT.

Example, called from ai_update.gml:

if (get_training_cpu_action() == CPU_FIGHT) {
// insert custom attack code here, since it should only execute
// if the CPU Action is set to Fight
}
// insert custom recovery code here, since the CPU should try to recover regardless of the CPU Action setting

Returns the ID of the player associated with the object. Used for referencing objects that you normally don’t have access to.

Example, called from hit_player.gml:

// plays a concerned sound whenever you hit Maypul while she has Lily out:
with (asset_get( "plant_obj" )) {
if (get_instance_player_id( self ) == other.hit_player_obj) {
sound_play( "plant_concerned_sound" );
}
}


Returns the player number of the specified instance. Used for referencing objects that you normally don’t have access to.

Example, called from article1_update.gml:

// destroys the article when it’s within an enemy Clairen’s plasma field:
with (asset_get( "plasma_field_obj" )) {
with (other.id) {
var _team = get_player_team( get_instance_player( other ));
if (_team != get_player_team( player )
&& point_distance(
x + 10 * spr_dir,
y,
get_instance_x( other ),
get_instance_y( other )
) < 180) {
instance_destroy();
}
}
}


Returns the y value of the specified instance. Used for referencing objects that you normally don’t have access to.

Example, called from article1_update.gml:

// destroys the article when it’s within Clairen’s plasma field:
with (asset_get( "plasma_field_obj" )) {
with (other.id) {
if (point_distance(
x + 10 * spr_dir,
y,
get_instance_x( other ),
get_instance_y( other )
) < 180) {
instance_destroy();
}
}
