    Lightning-like effect in Game Maker using ONLY sprites not drawing lines?

    I'm trying to do a Lightning effect, but I've only seen tutorials using it with drawing lines and not sprites. I'm also guessing this would be very hard to code since you would need to make the code the best you could possibly do, since I think that it's going to be hard to give the code a...

    Weird glitch (possibly?)

    So for some weird reason, my code was working a while ago and quit. So I toggled with it and managed to get something out of it. This time, however, instead of changing it to the correct sprite like it was supposed to, it flickered in between two other unrelated sprites. Now I toggled it again...
