Actor Bits Plugin/Mod for GB Studio
A downloadable plugin/mod
This is a plugin and engine mod for GB Studio. It lets you change an actor's bits, including: palette index (GBC), palette (DMG)*, horizontal and vertical flip, tile VRAM bank (GBC), and background priority.
*The DMG palette can not be changed as of now because of how GB Studio's fade system works.
The plugin includes 3 events:
Actor: Set Bits
This event allows you to set all of the actor's bits.
Actor: Set Bit
This event allows you to set one of an actor's bits.
Actor: Store Bit In Engine Field
This event stores one bit inside of the engine field "Actor Bits."
Known Bugs
- The bits can apply to the wrong actor if multiple actors are setting bits at the same time.
Download
Install instructions
Create a new folder called "plugins" inside your project folder. Next, move the contents of the plugins folder from the downloaded zip into your project's plugins folder.
With your project open in GB Studio, on the top, click Game > Advanced > Eject Engine. Move the files inside the engine folder from the downloaded zip into the corresponding files in your project's engine folder and replace them.
GB Studio plugins haven't been officially released, so there's a risk they'll stop working in the future and potentially make your project unusable.
This plugin/mod is only for GB Studio version 2 beta 5.

any chance for updating this to gbstudio 3.1?
There is no need for that since v3.0 and up have these features built in.
I can't believe I just found this miracle! Thank you very much for making the development of one game so much easier! Gratitude and respect!!
Thanks for creating this! I will definitely make use of it! 🎆
Are there any videos/articles that show its use in action? It sounds like a powerful tool but as a beginner developer I don't understand how to make use of it.
Should I upload an example game that shows examples of all of its features?
That would be very helpful and appreciated!
Uploaded now. Many of Max Oakland’s GB Studio games also use this mod.
