    If I try to run with the left knob, then only the up and down run works because nothing works with the gamepad on the left and right. And the directions that work are carried out endlessly after just a short movement! What's wrong here?: #region Laufeingabe var hoch = keyboard_check(vk_up) ||...

    GameMaker why doesn't it work the way it should?

    why does it take twice as long for a settings sav until alarm [0] is triggered if the whole program has a "settings.sav" in "% appdata%" although this does not maintain any contact to this and yes the text message is triggered immediately right at the beginning which must mean that alarm [0] is...
