Problems putting my game in fullscreen on GameMaker

Question

All the rooms in my game have the size of 1280x720, so normally my game runs like this:

When I try to enable fullscreen, none of the game's buttons respond to clicks, but the keyboard still works. So in the initial menu I clicked on the button to go to the settings room (image 1) and nothing happened, but when I typed "c" on my keyboard went to the settings room:

OBS - There is a distortion, but not the view in that image (I had to convert image 3 to jpg, because in png it was over 2MB in size).

I've thought about switching to 1920x1080 and hiding the title bar, but I'd really like to do things the "right way".

EDIT 1 - Another way to enable full screen. (It also does not work)

create event:

window_set_fullscreen(true);

EDIT 2 - By doing a few tests I noticed that when it is in full screen, the clicks behave as if it had a ghost room at the top left of the screen. Like this:

That is, I click the right side of the word music (in blue) and the language changes.

OBS - The buttons in my game are mostly sprites that I mapped and added a global left pressed event.

Answer 1

You are using the global left press event, which as far as I know does not work in the manner you desire (screen resizing). Use the non-global version.

If that fails then implement your own click detection code and also contact the creators of Game Maker (shoot them an email) because that should be working and did work with rescaling as of version 8.1 which is only 7 years old. There’s no reason for the event functionality to have changed. That’s bedrock level stuff. Change that on purpose and thousands of games will be reporting bugs so I’d certainly expect the non global to work in your case.

Answer 2

The way to detect mouse click was as follows (Global Left Pressed):

if(point_in_rectangle(window_mouse_get_x(),window_mouse_get_y(),1250,690,1280,720)){
    game_end();
}

That way it just happened to have a "ghost room" (as I said in the question).

Just change the click logic to the following (Global Left Pressed):

if(mouse_x>=1250 && mouse_x<=1280 && mouse_y>=690 && mouse_y<=720){
    game_end();
}

The problem was exactly how to get the values ​​of X and Y. Because if you use the function point_in_rectangle and use mouse_x/mouse_y instead of window_mouse_get_x/window_mouse_get_y, it works as expected.

Se below (Global Left Pressed):

if(point_in_rectangle(mouse_x,mouse_y,1250,690,1280,720)){
    game_end();
}
