# EnumNameMaker

Generate a script containing enum name bindings for Gamemaker.

-----------

MAKE A BACKUP

Just for total protection, make a backup of your project first.

Not just with my tool but with any code you run on your project.

-----------

It can be used 2 ways.

1. Search all folder recursively directly in the project

2. Drag and drop all selected .gml files on the exe

-----------

USING METHOD #1

-----------

1. Create a folder called external_tools at the root of your project.

    animcurves

    datafiles

    external_tools      <----
    notes

    objects

    etc....

   

2. Place EnumNameMaker.exe inside the external_tools.

3. Open your project and create a folder "Scripts" at the base (not inside other folders).

4. Create a script resource called enum_bindings.gml inside that Scripts Folder.

5. Save your project. Don't manually edit this script as the exe overrides it.

6. Run the EnumNameMaker.exe

7. Wait until completion and check the enum_bindings.gml for the generated code.

-----------

USING METHOD #2

-----------

1. Just drag and drop all .gml files to process onto the EnumNameMaker.exe

2. A enum_bindings.gml file will be created in the same file location

-----------

HOW TO USE IN CODE

-----------

enum KEY

{

  LEFT = 55,

  RIGHT = #2356

};

var _enum_name = enum_binding_get_name( "KEY", KEY.LEFT );

show_debug_message( _enum_name ); // prints "KEY.LEFT"

var _enum_value = enum_binding_get_value( "KEY.LEFT" );

show_debug_message( _enum_value ); // prints 55

-----------

PROBLEMS

-----------

If you have any specific enum setups that don't work let me know and I'll try and fix the parsing problem.
