Returns the Y position of a specified stage marker. Will return -1 if the marker is not found.

Example, called from a stage’s article1_update.gml:

//This code will destroy the article as soon as it goes below the specified marker.
if ( y >= get_marker_y( 6 ) ) {
instance_destroy();
}

Returns the X position of a specified stage marker. Will return -1 if the marker is not found.

Example, called from a stage’s article1_update.gml:

//This will destroy the article as soon as it goes to the left of a specific marker.
if ( x <= get_marker_x( 6 ) ) {
instance_destroy();
}

Returns a setting of the current match. This includes rule overrides by custom stages. If the rule override for time is set to 0 (disabling the timer), then SET_TIMER will still return the normal time setting.

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

//This sets a wave amount for a custom game mode that overrides the normal timer.
waves_left = get_match_setting( SET_TIMER );

Overrides the camera position. Use the functions

for the arguments if you don’t want to override them. The camera will be restricted to the edges of the stage in base game stages, but will be fully unlocked on workshop stages.

Example, called from animation.gml:

//This will focus the camera on the player if they trigger the purple kill effect when hitting another player, but not if they're hit themselves.
if (activated_kill_effect && state_cat != SC_HITSTUN ) {
set_view_position(x, y - (char_height / 2) );
}

Forces the match to end. All arguments are optional, and not providing any arguments will trigger overtime in the event of a tie. Any placements not supplied will be calculated normally. Use -1 in an argument if you want that placement to be skipped and calculated normally as well.

Example, called from a stage’s article1_update.gml:

//This code will end the match as soon as a player touches the article, with the player who touched it automatically winning the match.
var touch = instance_place(x, y, oPlayer);
if touch != noone {
end_match( touch.player );
}
