well... there is an easy way to do this
first sprite out all frames of your runner on one sprite

then on the object:
on action "no key"
use the code


then on the object
on action "left" (right, up, down, or anything else)
use the code

*note: you may want to change the .3 to be a faster or slower animation

and there you go! a simple walking action!

i have a similar question. i have a person with only 3 frames in his walk. i want it to be so when i hold down right, he cycles through his walk, but when i let go, he stops, and he goes to frame one. how do i do that?

same thing as above instead on the no key action use this code insead
image_index=1;

thanks for helping, but i got the awnser already, but i forgot to say...

<_<

well anyways, as a bonus, i made a small tut of how to make someone talk to you , only when you are in range, and it works really well

I need help with making characters jump. I tried that tutorial on the GM site but it's just too confusing!

i feel your pain. it confuses me too.
i need a code where i can make two different objects share a health bar. help?

ok simple:
in the draw action, use this code:


the x1,y1,x2,y2 are you to fill in where you want it on the screen

for example:
0,0,100,10
would mean the bar would start at the top left corner (0,0) and would be 100px wide and 10px tall

now to change the lifebar, change the "life" variable (must stay between 0-100)

I got a question. In smash brothers game, each time you attack an opponent the power damage increases and he gets knocked farther based on how much the damage percentage shows. How do i make the damage percentage thing with the numbers on the bottom of the screen and how do i make a player get knocked farther based on the number of damage he has?

do you know what variables or draw functions are?

Okay how do I make it so the is a box at the bottom of the screen where the player can put in an answer... and if the answer is correct then it will countinue?

you can find an action lib. that has "if "inserttexthere" go to next room" at yoyogames or you could script it somehow.

this doesn't like me... 1. how do you pause the game?

AND 2. how can I make a window during that time (of puasing) that has buttons.. 'Go to menu & Resume Game"



Also it don't understand what you mean claus...

to how
3. how do I Ask the player for a string...
and
4. How I make a sprite turn without making multiple sprites


o.o and...
5. how do I make a sprite with an animation and once it's animations is over it destroys it's instance
and...
6. how do I make the game save a player's entered string...
and...
7. how do I make it show the string like so...
