This visual effects video tutorial shows you how to make a overlay for any sprite that animates on it in GameMaker Studio.

What is the idea behind this?
This method simply uses a surface that draws over the original sprite. This may sound banal but is actually quite powerful to save tons of time if you intend to make a neat animation for a weapons sprite or something that is being filled or loaded only on the sprite itself.

Where is this being used?
Item showcases, loading animations or simple user interface elements as a simple but neat eyecandy effect.
