Water Background shows up at the very top and it's inverted

[RunninPigeon]

im trying to get the water background to the water height of 1240 but it keeps showing up at the top and inverted for some reason:
`
var _bg_dist = dist_get_data(EFFECTDATA.LZBG);
var _fg_dist = dist_get_data(EFFECTDATA.LZFG);

		dist_set_fg([], _fg_dist, -0.5, 0, room_height, ["GraphicsA", "GraphicsB"]);
		dist_set_bg(_bg_dist, _bg_dist, -0.25, 192, 348);
		
		bg_set_colour(#C0C0C0);
		bg_add_layer(spr_trz_bg_layer0, 0, 104, 192, 0, 0, 0, 0.300, 0);			// Water Layer
		bg_set_perspective_x(1.0, 2);
		bg_set_perspective_y(water_level_init);`

_water_pos argument in m_stage_set is not set to 1240 if that's the case

[RunninPigeon]

i have m_stage_set(1, "TESTING ROOM", ACT_SINGLE, bgm_woofle, [spr_obj_animal_flicky, spr_obj_animal_pocky], room_height, 1240, rm_devmenu, false);

Please, export your project and attach it here (upload somewhere else if it is too big). I'll take a look

m_stage_set() should be the very first function called
Now, let's configure c_stage specifically for rm_myroom. Start by calling the m_stage_set() function."

Also, you have no idea how arguments work if you try to pass to a function an argument from another function. Please, spend some time to learns the basics of programming and GameMaker Language.

Your code should be like this:

case rm_stage_trz0:
		
    m_stage_set(1, "TESTING ROOM", ACT_SINGLE, bgm_woofle, [spr_obj_animal_flicky, spr_obj_animal_pocky], room_height, 1240, rm_devmenu, false);    
			
    bg_set_colour(#C0C0C0);
    bg_add_layer(spr_trz_bg_layer0, 0, 104, 192, 0, 0, 0, 0.300, 0);			// Water Layer
    bg_set_perspective_x(1.0, 2);
    bg_set_perspective_y(water_level_init);	
    
    player_spawn(80, 1200, global.player_main, "Objects");
    player_spawn(64, 1200, global.player_cpu, "Objects");
    collision_load_binary("widths_s1", "heights_s1", "angles_s1", "CollisionA", "CollisionB");
        
break;

Also, make sure to not make the background 3000px wide if you don't want your device struggle trying to run a 2d game.

Answering your next question:
The water background won't oscillate with the water level. Open Step Event of c_stage and find this code:

// Adjust water level
if water_enabled
{
	water_level = obj_oscillate_y(water_level_init, _c_framework.frame_counter * ANGLE_INCREMENT, 10, 1, 90);
	
	if room == rm_stage_tsz0
	{
		c_framework.background.perspective_y_data[0] = water_level;
	}
}

Here for your room you either call c_framework.background.perspective_y_data[0] = water_level; as well or do not oscilllate the water_level at all
