This extension is for Windows, macOS, and Ubuntu.

Override GameMaker Studio 2's default Desktop dialog functions with improved implementations over the original ones, while bringing back obsolete functions from pre-Studio branded versions of GameMaker, and of course introducing some new functions.

After showing a dialog you must clear the keyboard and mouse state since GameMaker Studio 2 doesn't do that on its own:

keyboard_clear(keyboard_lastkey);

mouse_clear(mouse_lastbutton);

io_clear();

Functions included:

  • real show_message(string str)

  • real show_message_cancelable(string str)

  • real show_question_cancelable(string str)
