So in a blank Gamemaker project I was able to make this function in the same way this does without the x and y movement and the darken effect, however it is dependent on the position of the mouse and for being in the center of the room, so getting it to track the distance of the player object from the Pizzaface object will probably be a tremendous pain but it'll be cool to have this Pizzaface tracker in the tv. There exists no animation for peppino and the background yet as I want to make Pizzaface work before implementing some of the other aspects of the tv. Pizzaface's animation is finished though.
My dad for helping me with the math needed for this and the Gamemaker test, Tour de Pizza. My art, for use in WitS and WitS only.
