Any help? -------------------- When I let people know I'm autistic, most of them think I said "optimistic." So I correct them and explain the difference between the two: Whereas autism is a mental disorder, optimism is a severe mental disorder.

It uses it's own scripting language called GML

Mode 7 I wouldn't know since I don't use GM

Also you can use scripts, DLLs and lot of other cool stuff. Some features like the 3D mode are only accessible when you have registered your Game Maker for 15€/20$. Game Maker doesn't have a Mode7. Instead it has 3D functions in it that use Direct3D (and it looks far better than the one in Doom mentioned above!). Unfortunatelly the built-in functions only work for drawing in 3D while collisions still stay 2Dimensional. But there is also a way to make 3D collisions, because you can create your own scripts. So if you are an advanced programmer, you should be able to create a full 3D game with Game Maker 6.1. I hope this is enough information.
