I noticed lot of simple functions are missing in ENIGMA.
You can set those in the IDE, but not in GML:

room_set_background
(compiles but does nothing).
and basically all room_set commands

Yes, they work the same as GM8.1, you have to switch to another room and then back again.

Yeah, I have noticed a few things 'off' in the half hour that I have been playing with ENIGMA.

Poor Rob has a lot of weight on his shoulders with this project I think.

lol oh mate you have not seen anything yet !

I am losing my mind here.

But I still like to work with ENIGMA, it's a challenge,
and I think I can find ways to work around the issues,
it's a pain in the arse though

Yeah, I have noticed a few things 'off' in the half hour that I have been playing with ENIGMA.

In this case though, everything is fine. Those functions work just fine. It's just that you have to restart the room for them to take effect (as that is how GM implemented them). If you want to change something on the fly, then use background_index, view_hport etc. So instead of functions you can use built-in variables. They take effect immediately.

So again, read the manual/s:  http://docs.yoyogames.com/source/dadiospice/002_reference/rooms/room_set_background.html

With this function you can set a background for a room (except the current one), with all the same property options that you can find in the room editor like horizontal speed and horizontal or vertical tiling.

Thank you Harri.
