Currently, I am looking for a method that allows me to place animated text to individual rooms in my game. To start, I am looking at a few videos showing ways to draw text. I am looking at these videos because drawing text is created through the use of scripts, which I am the most comfortable about using right now. I also came across a page created by Game Maker that explains all the draw actions which I feel will be useful later on:
