Sets the intensity of the color slot’s shading, with 1 being normal shading. Setting it to 0 will make it completely flat, reminiscent of the Early Access palettes in the base game. (Note that you aren’t restricted to just 1 or 0.)

//This code sets the first color slot to have completely flat shading if they're set to a specific palette.
if get_player_color(player) == 12 {
set_character_color_shading( 0, 0 );
}


Returns with various values from the character’s main folder that are otherwise inaccessible.

Note that any property with STR in the name will return as a string. Everything else returns as a number.

The values you can get using this function can be the following macros:

Example, called from hit_player.gml:

// Grabs the name of the character you just hit and then adds it to a string that can be drawn later.
hit_text = "See ya, " + get_char_info( hit_player_obj.player, INFO_STR_NAME) + "!";


Changes the color slot of the currently selected color profile, affecting only the character and leaving articles alone.

Example, called from post_draw.gml:

//This code sets the player's first color slot to be a partially-transparent white if they're set to a specific palette.
if get_player_color(player) == 13 {
set_character_color_slot(0, 255, 255, 255, 0.5);
}


Returns the blue component of a character’s color slot, with a value from 0 to 255. Note that this does not take into account changes made by set_character_color_slot or set_article_color_slot.

Example, called from post_draw.gml:

//This code draws a custom sprite tinted to the exact color of the player's first color slot.
var col_R = get_color_profile_slot_r( get_player_color(player), 0);
var col_G = get_color_profile_slot_g( get_player_color(player), 0);
var col_B = get_color_profile_slot_b( get_player_color(player), 0);

var col_final = make_color_rgb(col_r, col_g, col_b);

draw_sprite_ext(sprite_get("custom_sprite"), image_index, x, y, image_xscale, image_yscale, image_angle, col_final, image_alpha);


Returns the green component of a character’s color slot, with a value from 0 to 255. Note that this does not take into account changes made by set_character_color_slot or set_article_color_slot.

Example, called from post_draw.gml:

//This code draws a custom sprite tinted to the exact color of the player's first color slot.
var col_R = get_color_profile_slot_r( get_player_color(player), 0);
var col_G = get_color_profile_slot_g( get_player_color(player), 0);
var col_B = get_color_profile_slot_b( get_player_color(player), 0);

var col_final = make_color_rgb(col_r, col_g, col_b);

draw_sprite_ext(sprite_get("custom_sprite"), image_index, x, y, image_xscale, image_yscale, image_angle, col_final, image_alpha);
