THANKS A LOT FOR THIS FIX

First of all, I want to thank you very much for the update, im enjoying a lot your engine, I made some modifications that I believe that it can add  value to your project.

For example, when you have multiple conversations with several characters, it adds a powerful visual effect to shadow the characters that are not talking without having to use the script character_destroy(). and having to create them again with character_create().

I added these 2 scripts

function character_apply_shadow(char, shadow_color) {

var char_id = ds_map_find_value(global.characters, char);

char_id.shadow_color = shadow_color;

char_id.shadow_active = true;

}

function character_remove_shadow(char) {

var char_id = ds_map_find_value(global.characters, char);

char_id.shadow_active = false;

}

obj_character step event modifications (on the line //effects n stuff )

if sprite_index != noone{ // effects n' stuff

 // Apply shadow effect if active

 if (shadow_active) {

 image_blend = shadow_color;

 } else {

 image_blend = c_white;

 }

And this is a example how i call the shadowing

if ev(){

 character_hop("Manny Ae", hop_medium, false)

 character_hop("Anny Mae", hop_medium, false)

 character_sprite("Anny Mae", spr_annymae_shock)

 textbox_create("Anny Mae", "Wow!", "My similar looking doppelganger Manny Ae?")

}

if ev(){

character_apply_shadow("Anny Mae", make_color_rgb(50, 50, 50));

wait_time(0.25)

}

if ev(){

 textbox_create("Persimmon Factory", "Drawing one of 'em is hard enough, alright?")

}

if ev(){

 textbox_create("Manny Ae", "Hi everyone!")

}

if ev(){

 character_apply_shadow("Manny Ae", make_color_rgb(50, 50, 50));

 character_remove_shadow("Anny Mae");

wait_time(0.25)

}

Thank you so much for the update it works like a charm, just a question i can not figure out how to increase the size of the textbox letters.

for example
i have this code

character_create("Girl A", noone, 0, 0, appear_instant, false, so_01, 0, false)

character_text_set("Girl A", c_white, c_white, c_white, c_white, font_silly, font_silly, 1.8)

// sets the character's text attributes

// creates a textbox using the created character's name/attributes

textbox_create("Girl A","It includes a bunch of effects and features to spice up your projects!")

running my game for some reason only the Text Girl A is increased in size, but the It includes a bunch of effects and features to spice up your projects!" is not increased... how i can increase it? 

its  a nice engine, but it has a bug when you set up options the buttons does not trigger. i have a question.

for example if i mix up this engine with  some gameplays and this engine purely for events, i need to creathe another obj_scenes or i need to add an (if) statement that checks the result of that gameplay in a global variable

Actually i dont, im using the font provided by the template, but i figured it out that I have to stretch the button to the size needed to cover the font. So it shows correctly in the game. I dont know if menus or other containers have the same problem in mac, but probably could be a picky issue

I have problems to get the button label when importing the project.

Theres no text at all,  im currently working on the room template, i tried with another room, new with obj_ggl controller imported but its the same issue, no text at all on the label

i think that the solution at this moment is not quite optimal, the reason is because my screen resolution it's 4K if i put the DPI setings on 100% the UI it's too tiny, and makes the program really hard to use, if i change the resolution to 1980x 1080 it's not solving the problem.

why this bug its not even on the FAQ?

Anyone knows how to solve it???
