Get data about a different room (for GameMaker Studio 2.3.0)  

Download .yymps

A tiny 'run-once' object that visits every room and produces a JSON file filled with room data you can add to your project.

Since GameMaker Studio is currently short of functions such as room_get_width() or room_get_height(), it can be difficult to get information about a room you are not currently in. This inspector will collect that data for you, as well as anything else about a room that you specify, for example:

  • Instance Positions
  • Variables modified after the 'Room Creation' event.

Handy for projects that make extensive use of GameMaker's Room Editor.

Example Project

The project folder includes an example for a 'Map Viewer', which shows an in-game visual of every room in the game, showing the size, name, and location of objects placed within the room.
