When called in a stage article, stops the current background music track.

Example, called from a stage’s update.gml:

// instantly stop music:
music_stop();

When called in a stage article, plays a background music track which replaces the currently playing music track.

Example, called from a stage’s update.gml:

// plays "my_song.ogg" located in the /sounds directory:
music_play_file( "my_song" );

Creates a hitbox that instantly K.O.s any player that touches it.

Example, called from attack_update.gml:

// this attack creates a deathbox on top of the player that was hit by an earlier hitbox of the attack. This deathbox can only kill the hit player and will show the red screen effect on hit:
if (window == 3 && window_timer == 10 && has_hit_player) {
create_deathbox(
has_hit_id.x, // x
has_hit_id.y, // y
100, // w
100, // h
has_hit_id.player, // player
true, // free
1, // shape
3, // lifespan
2 // bg_type
);
}

Creates a hitbox at (x, y) pulling from the attack data of the specified hitbox.

Example, called from article1_update.gml:

// this article creates a hitbox (the owner's 1st Dspecial hitbox) any time it's close to its owner:
if (point_distance( x, y, owner.x, owner.y ) < 32 && cooldown_timer == 0) { create_hitbox( AT_DSPECIAL, 1, x, y - 40 );
cooldown_timer = 60;
}

Returns the angle that the hitbox sends. The function takes the current object’s position into account for angle flippers.

Example, called from article1_update.gml:

// this non-player object has a custom KB formula when hit by a hitbox:
var temp_angle = get_hitbox_angle( enemy_hitboxID );
var force = enemy_hitboxID.kb_value + enemy_hitboxID.kb_scale * 12;
hsp = lengthdir_x( force, temp_angle );
vsp = lengthdir_y( force, temp_angle );
