GM: room height

The correct title of this article is room_height. It appears incorrectly here because of technical restrictions.

room_height

Type: variable
Globalism: Global
Editable: No

This variable holds the height of the entire room (you need to use view_hview to get the size of the view inside the room). This variable is read-only, you cannot use this function to change the size of the room.

[edit] Example

// Create an object at the bottom of the room
instance_create(100,room_height,obj_player);

In the example above, as you're using room_height, no matter what size the room is, the object will always be placed at the bottom. You can also use room_hieght to place objects in the middle of the screen. First, make sure the origins of the object is in the center then you divide room_heightby 2:

// Create and center the object horizontally in the room
instance_create(100,room_height,obj_player);
