Returns the name being currently used by the specified player, returning “P1”, “P2”, etc. if the player has no name set.

Example, called from post_draw.gml:

// This draws the current player name as debug text under the character:
draw_debug_text(x, y+10, get_player_name( player ));

Returns the resulting amount of knockback a player would get if they were hit with the specified stats. Usually used in tandem with get_hitbox_angle()  Reference→

Example, called from article1_hit.gml:

// This simulates knockback in an article as if it were a player, to be used elsewhere:
orig_knock = get_kb_formula(damage, knockback_adj, 1.0, enemy_hitboxID.damage, enemy_hitboxID.kb_value, enemy_hitboxID.kb_scale);

Returns the resulting amount of hitpause a player would get if they were hit with the specified stats. Note that hitpause is not hitstun; hitpause is the freezeframes immediately after getting hit.

Example, called from article1_hit.gml:

// This simulates hitpause in an article as if it were a player, to be used elsewhere:
hitstop = get_hitstop_formula(damage, enemy_hitboxID.damage, enemy_hitboxID.hitpause, enemy_hitboxID.hitpause_growth, enemy_hitboxID.extra_hitpause);

Returns the persistent global variable of that player slot.

Example, called from init.gml:

// This character gets a slower dash speed and higher jump if something has changed its synced variable to 1 before the match starts, likely as a custom menu option:
if (get_synced_var( player ) == 1) {
dash_speed -= 2;
jump_speed += 3;
}

Sets the persistent global variable of that player slot. This value persists before and after matches, as well as being saved in replays.

Example, called from css_update.gml:

// This character only sets their synced var to "true" when selecting a specific palette
if (get_player_color( player ) == 12) {
(set_synced_var( player, true)
} else {
(set_synced_var( player, false)
}
