Platformer gravity + enemies?

[Vincent]

Hello there! So I'm working in a platformer, and I'm using GML, and I want to use a code for the player movement and gravity as well for the enemy gravity. The thing is that all the code I've tried only works for the player, because it uses in the same code the variables of movement and the gravity, which means that I can't separate the "gravity" part and use it in the enemy.
What code should I use?
Thanks a lot!

If I understand the question, you just need to give enemies their own variables analogous to the ones that your player object has. You can also make any variables that you want many objects to share global.

It sounds like you found some player movement code, but you don't understand why or how it works. If you learn how it works you'll be able to give your enemies what they need to interact with the environment as well.

Thanks! I'll spend some time researching it

gravity is a built-in variable that can be set for each instance. If you made some variable like global.grav, then that's your own fault for making it a global variable (although gravity should be the same for all instances, technically speaking...).
