can we add a feature to resize a sprite after you have added into the game? just so we dont have to manually scale sprites in mspaint

Well, we can't directly resize individual sprites, but in 1.5 you can resize actors. So that'll achieve the same thing, and it has already been implemented in 1.5.

meanwhile, you can use a canvas and use the draw_from function to draw an existing actor with different scales. Reffer to the documentation if you need help with the function, or click on the variable/function button so it'll give you a parameter window

to skydereign, how do you resize the actors?

In gE 1.5? You use SetScale, which is a function that changes the actor's size. Mind you this only works with the physics version of gE. If you want to use canvas, you can use draw_from, as follows.
canvas -> Draw Actor -> Script Editor

Code: Select all

erase(0,0,0,1);
draw_from("actor", width/2, height/2, 2);

What this does is draw actor at a scale of 2 in the middle of the canvas. You could move the canvas around to use this, or offset where the actor is drawn.
