Returns the script set used by the stage article. Will return -1 if the instance is not a stage article.

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

//This code will destroy any normal stage article that uses scripts like "article4_update.gml", but leave ones that use other scripts (article3_update.gml, article5_update.gml, etc) intact.
if (wave_timer <= 0) {
with ( obj_stage_article ) {
if ( get_article_script( id ) == 4 ) {
instance_destroy();
}
}
}

Returns true if the current stage is set to Aether, and false if it’s Basic.

Example, called from a stage’s article1_update:

//This code will make a stage article shoot out a hitbox every 1/2 second (30 frames), but only if Aether mode is turned on.
if (shot_cooldown <= 0 && is_aether_stage() ) {
shot_cooldown = 30;
create_hitbox( AT_JAB, 0, x, y);
}

Returns the hex value of the specified player’s HUD color.

Example, called from update.gml:

color_get_red( _col ),
color_get_green( _col ),
color_get_blue( _col )
];

other.total_player_count += 1;
}
