instance_create(x,y,obj_kugel)

if instance_create(x,y,obj_kugel)
{

}

i set it in /obj_"char"/event/global left pressed

I use

firerate = the fire speed (the higher the number the faster it shoots)
accuracy = how accurate it will shoot

now this happen :/

this is all the code + movement (I don't know what you use for movement but maybe it will help)

Create: counter = 0
step: if counter > 0 { counter -=1}
mouse_left_pressed: if(counter == 0) { instance_create(x,y,obj_bullet); counter = 60; }


that works, but thanks anyway :)

i need to use this script cuz i use obj_bullet: draw event;


draw_sprite_ext(spt_bullet,image_index,x,y,1,1,direction,c_white,1)

"let the bullet fly straight to characters pov"

i think this will made the problem but its fixed now.
u can close this thread now or leave it for a smart lesson.
if another one get stuck here maybe on of this ways could help him

if(keyboard_check(ord("W"))) { speed = walkingSpeed; }
if(keyboard_check(ord("S"))) { speed = -walkingSpeed; }


used simply the same movement code


var sp;
sp = 3;
if keyboard_check(ord("W")){if place_free(x,y-sp){y-=sp}}
if keyboard_check(ord("S")){if place_free(x,y+sp){y+=sp}}
if keyboard_check(ord("A")){if place_free(x-sp,y){x-=sp}}
if keyboard_check(ord("D")){if place_free(x+sp,y){x+=sp}}

the little bit smarter way, i also dont have to set the place_free var solo also got the speed into it. what do u think about it ? i think its a smart way to keep ur code small, it is?
:D

good to hear that it works :)

NEVER USE COUNTERS AS TIMERS! Better use CPU time instead.

Not sure what OP is programming in, but all C-dialects have a time method (time.deltaTime in C#) to calculate time passed between cycles.

in gml (delta_time)

The easiest way to make cooldowns that I have found, and I am fairly new to all this, is by the use of alarms.

Set the alarm to trigger when a button is pressed, then to time itself out for a certain amount of time then trigger itself again to create a cycle. My main PC is down for the moment or I would give you snippets of code to refer to.

i dont like to work with alarms so i use delta_time or current_time, DemiGoth was right ! never use a counter as timer (if ur pc do lag, the counter will too) use delta_time or current_time this wont have this problem (excuse the german/english :P)

Just going off of your original subject of low script basics, alarms are the easiest way I can think of to do what you are wanting
