Web


The functions listed below are general web functions that can be used on all target platforms:

Apart from the general functions listed above, the HTML5 target has some additional web functions that are specifically designed to be used by the games that target it:

Apart from these functions for the HTML5 target module, there is also a special JavaScript variable that can be used on those rare occasions when the contents of the html5game folder are stored in a completely different place (URL). Normally this path is hard-coded in the JavaScript file and is relative to the location from where the JavaScript is called, but you can set the variable g_GameMakerHTML5Dir before the call to the game script and the game will be run from the newly defined location. For example:

<script>var g_GameMakerHTML5Dir = "http://mygamealternatedirectory.com/";</script>
