I went to look for help and with out the help of discord I would not make something like this.

the cards are action cards...
giving player an opportunity to perform.
like kingdom hearts chains of memories.
has 3 buttons, I use 2.
there use, skip, and hold.

but I came up with problems, one of them is about the reload card...
after used up all the cards, when I press reload, all the cards came back leaving one from a start gone missing... :(
and worse because I cant reach the reload button after used up attack magic cards.

reload card is I thought was ment to be at the far end always but it proves I was wrong...
the reload card will be amongs a cards... the truth is that I did not make such mechanic alone...

deck_controller
create
Code:
usebutton = true;
/// the deck set up WIP
global.card_index = 0
global.use = 0
//card set.........................
current_cards = ds_list_create();   perma_cards = ds_list_create(); //v
//                     v                         |
               tempa_used = ds_list_create();//  |
//                                    v          |
                   deck = ds_list_create();// <<<
//permacards
ds_list_add(perma_cards,19);//blade
ds_list_add(perma_cards,27);
//tempacards
ds_list_add(current_cards,4);
ds_list_add(current_cards,3);
ds_list_add(current_cards,1);
//battle start

     ds_list_add(deck,perma_cards[| i])
}
for (var i = 0; i < ds_list_size(current_cards); i++) {
     ds_list_add(tempa_used,current_cards[| i])
}
for (var i = 0; i < ds_list_size(tempa_used); i++) {
     ds_list_add(deck,tempa_used[| i])
}
//setup.................&

for(var i = 0; i <=num_of_cards; i++)

//place cards
    var curr_card = instance_create(xPos,yPos,card_obj);
    if (i == 0)
    {
     global.card_index = ds_list_find_value(deck,i);
    }
    curr_card.image_index = ds_list_find_value(deck,i);
    xPos -= 4;
    yPos -= 1;
}
alarm 5
usebutton = true;

step event
Code:
if keyboard_check_pressed(vk_right)
{
if usebutton = true
{
///Use card
 xPos = 32
 yPos = 184
//////////execute actions for the specified card////////
 card_use();

     {
     global.card_index = 0;
     }
    xPos -= 4;
    yPos -= 1;
}}
card_use script
Code:
///card_use()
 switch(global.card_index)
 {
 //reload deck________________________________________________
   case (0):
   show_debug_message("reload")
   audio_play_sound( sound0, 0, 0 );
   ds_list_copy(deck, tempa_used);
   for (var i = 0; i < ds_list_size(perma_cards); i++) {
   ds_list_add(deck,perma_cards[| i])
   }
   alarm[5] = 1;
               break;
 //item deck_________________________________________________

   case (1):
   show_debug_message("potion.med")
   obj_player.sprite_index = P2_B_U;
   obj_player.image_speed = 0.5
   obj_player.image_index = 0
   obj_player.alarm[0] = 10;
   deck_controller.alarm[5] = 5;
   obj_player.HP += 50;
  //
                 break;
etc
each number comes with image.

now you see that reload was like a (reload) (reset) but after card_use triggered reload card,
all the perma_cards and current_cards came back in hand. but the code moves on, it deletes a after current card.
