what that code is trying to do there is reference another object named "local"'s right variable. that's how game maker references other objects variables. what you have to do is in the create event, put something like
right = 6942069 (change this please)
and then, in whatever event your current code is in, just put
right = 0
and then you should have it..
sorry if that wasn't clear
Oh jeez thank you this actually helped me tremendously though not exactly in the way you planned it to. Removing the "local." from the variables solved my second problem I had after I had already figured out the first one haha

So, I couldn't exactly figure out steps, but I tried making it so the press of a directional key sets a variable's value to 1 and a release of the same key sets that variable's value to 0 and I made a step event saying that if all 4 variables = 0 the game would set the horizontal and vertical speeds of the character to 0. However, when I launch the game, it just gives me an error that it doesn't recognize the variables and I can't move on. Am I supposed to create the variables somehow before using them?
 
Edit:  :fogetunsure:
 
Edit 2: That ended up not working anyway. Regardless of whether or not a key was pressed the step event thought it wasn't anyway and decided to not let me move.
 
Edit 3: Solved.

I'll have to admit that I know absolutely nothing about either coding or game maker, and even less about coding within game maker. I'd like to avoid that sort of thing as much as possible. That said, how easy is it to do what you are talking about? Also, I'm taking a look at the step event and I'll see what I can do with it. Thank you both.

Game Maker 8. Also thank you, I'd been assigning key presses to the "move in a direction" command which didn't allow that. It works now.
 
Another question: when I press and release the directional keys too quickly in succession, they get stuck and the character stops moving entirely and I have to release all the keys before pressing anymore so that the character will move. Is there a workaround to this? For my "release key" events I have the game set the vertical or horizontal speed to 0.

How do I make it so my character can move in two directions at once (aka up plus right moves in a diagonal) ??

I'm new to Game Maker and making games so I have some really dumb questions to ask anyone who will answer me. I was scared of posting my questions in the other thread so I'll post them here.
 
First question: How do I set animation speeds for individual sprites/objects? I can't find where the setting is and when I test launch the game all the animations are comically fast. figured that one out
 
Thank you! I'll post more once I run into more problems.

Working on some sort of shitty tileset. I don't even know what my game's gonna be about yet. I've never done anything like this before

I also occasionally listen to the Kondabolu Brothers podcast which is Hari Kondabolu the comedian and Ashok Kondabolu the goofy looking guy from Das Racist who didn't rap in any of the songs. they tend to talk a lot about race justice and stories from their different careers and they can be pretty funny too if you're familiar with either of their acts and can stand occasional social justice talk

The Mega64 podcast is generally pretty funny if you involve yourself in their mythos or whatever, but it's not very good for travel since a lot of the jokes they do on it require video to go over well which you obviously cant do if you're listening in a car
