[quote=SkyAdvanced]Thank you for your feed back how did you like it"?[/quote]I only played until the second room. It needs a lot of polish, but it's very good if this is your first time with GM.

Keep at it!

- Have you thought about making the character snap to a grid?
- Try making the monsters slower or destroyable. They're too fast for a player to escape.
- Keep the sprite facing the direction you are moving when you stop moving. Global vars help with that.
if kbkey=arrowright //I forgot a lot of GML...
global.playerdir=6;
if global.playerdir=6 && player.speed=0
sprite_index=whatevernumbertherightfacingspriteis;

Neat.
- Have you thought about making the character snap to a grid?
- Try making the monsters slower or destroyable. They're too fast for a player to escape. Girl can only move in one direction at a speed of 5, while Teki can move in all directions at a speed of 3 and ghost can move in all directions at 5.
- Keep the Room sizes the same, otherwise the game will shift window sizes.
- Keep the sprite facing the direction you are moving when you stop moving. Global Vars and Switches help with that.

Create 4 sprites, one for each direction the girl faces while standing still. Girl_Back, Girl_Front, Girl_Left, Girl_Right.
Create another 4 sprites, for walking in the 4 directions. Girl_Walking_Back, Girl_Walking_Front, Girl_Walking_Left, Girl_Walking_Right.

Set variables up for moving and the direction your character is facing. (Using the numpad as a guide, "6" is right, "2" is down, "4" is left, and "8" is up.)

In the Keyboard Right action:
Start moving --> with a Speed of 5
Set Global Variable Move to 6

In the Keyboard Left action:
Start moving <-- with a Speed of 5
Set Global Variable Move to 4

In the Keyboard Up action:
Start moving ^ with a Speed of 5
Set Global Variable Move to 4

In the Keyboard Up action:
Start moving v with a Speed of 5
Set Global Variable Move to 2

In the Normal Step section:
Execute a Piece of Code:

{switch (global.Move)
{ case 8: sprite_index=Girl_Walk_Back;break; //"If global.Move is set to 8, stop the Switch and use the Walking Back facing sprite."
case 2: sprite_index=Girl_Walk_Front;break; //"If global.Move is set to 2, stop the Switch and use the Walking Front facing sprite."
case 4: sprite_index=Girl_Walk_Left;break; //"If global.Move is set to 4, stop the Switch and use the Walking Left facing sprite."
case 6: sprite_index=Girl_Walk_Right;break; //"If global.Move is set to 6, stop the Switch and use the Walking Right facing sprite."
} }

if speed=0//"If the Girl isn't moving..."
{switch (global.Move) //"and if the global variable Move is set to..."
{ case 8: sprite_index=Girl_Back;break; //"8, stop the Switch and use the Back facing sprite."
case 2: sprite_index=Girl_Front;break; //"2, stop the Switch and use the Front facing sprite."
case 4: sprite_index=Girl_Left;break; //"4, stop the Switch and use the Left facing sprite."
case 6: sprite_index=Girl_Right;break; //"6, stop the Switch and use the Back facing sprite."
} }

if ! keyboard_check(vk_left) && ! keyboard_check(vk_right) && ! keyboard_check(vk_up) && ! keyboard_check(vk_down) //"If the Left Key, Right Key, Up Key, and Down Key aren't being pressed..."
speed=0; //"Set the speed to 0." You can also use vk_nokey, but then you keep walking when you keep pressing another key, like space, control etc.
