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(string str)
real show_question_cancelable(string str)
real show_attempt(string str)
real show_error(string str, real abort)
string get_string(string str, string def)
