First of all: I know I said that I need to learn to code, and that I was actually planning, but I just can't get the damn "press a key when touching the enemy to do the attack again" thing right.
I tried to check if collision with the enemy and pressed Z, it does the attack again. Yes, it works. But after the enemy is dead, I get an error that says that it can't find "enemy.x" because I destroyed it.
Thanks!

Use instance_exists to run a check before attacking.

You should always check if the instance exists before referring to it in another.
So before your "if collision" statement, use "if instance_exists(enemy)"

Also, if you got more than one enemy sharing the same object name, you should refer to its ID instead of its name.

Use instance_exists() to check if the instance exists before any sort of interaction.

Okay guys. I made a new game because the other one was in full "drag and drop" things, and I did a code. This is it:

if instance_exists(obj_Enemy) {
if keyboard_check_pressed(vk_up) {
instance_position(obj_Enemy.x,obj_Enemy.y - 128,obj_Player);
gravity = 0.5;
if !place_free(x,y + 1) {
EH = EH - 1;
}
}
}

It works, but the obj_Player won't go to obj_Enemy.x or obj_Enemy.y - 128.

That code currently does nothing. It returns the ID of the player instance if it's colliding with a random enemy instance. You're not even capturing the ID.

What exactly are you trying to do? How is the player instance supposed to move?

That's an incorrect way of using instance_position.
Instance_position is a collision checker.

Checks for a collision with the specified object at a specific location and returns its id.

If you want to modify the player's position consider changing the x and y variables instead.

Thanks for telling me!

It works perfectly now! Thanks for any response!
