This is the 11th video in a series on remaking Hotline Miami in GameMaker Studio.

The video tutorial shows you how to create a pickup weapon like you see in Hotline Miami which is hovering plus having a shadow below. For that we need once again the ease function and apply that to the drawn sprite. To create the shadow we simply draw a black painted version of the sprite also and give it a lower alpha (opacity).
