I am trying to prevent hash character from going next line. I have already tried string_pos(ord("#"), message), keyboard_check_pressed(ord("#")), and string_pos(ord("\n"), message), but apparently they do not work. How can I check if # key is pressed? Or is it not possible at all?

I'm trying to make my character mount on a horse when I press "K" close to it. The way I would able to do is making another object, the character on the horse, and create it when I press the button, while destroy the char off the horse, and it worked but I'm trying to limitate to just when is...

I'm currently having trouble getting my load game script to work across all of my rooms. It's very odd and no matter how much I rack my brain I just can't seem to figure out what is going on! Technically everything is loading in fine except my inventory which I'm just using ds lists to...

Howdydiddly all! I am having an issue in which the user controlling a ship should be able to move left and right as they wish whilst maybe using other buttons, but everytime another button is pressed as well as the left or right move keys, the movement is interrupted until they press move again...

I'm trying to create an "after image" effect for a projectile object. the problem is the projectile itself changes it's angle on creation to point toward the player object. I've tried but that does nothing. (obj_ParticleExper is the object I want the particle to match angle orientation.) what...

Hi there! So I'm a little bit of a noob with GML (and programming in general, unfortunately) and through several tutorials and looking up the manual, I'm trying to figure out how to make the basic movements of a platformer game. The thing is, I made it work basically – movement, jumps...

So, I was working on a snow particle effect for my game, and while the particle is created successfully, it would only be created once. I'm trying everything I could to loop the effect but I can't find anything about recreating the particle effect after being created once. Here's the piece of...
