is there a way to load a room and have it show in the GUI layer? I'm not super knowledgeable of how the GUI stuff works. but my pause menu is in the gui layer. and I was hoping to add something fun using a different room that would be visible during my pause menu. I might be trying to do something out of scope but wanted to see if you had any ideas

You can make instances not draw themselves in Draw event and then draw themselves (at "room" coordinates) inside Draw GUI - then their positioning inside a room would decide their positioning on GUI layer.

Alternatively, if using GMS2, you could experiment with layer_x/layer_y functions to shift a layer to match view position.

thank you. I'll have to experiment with that
