Windows Code not working

[r7465]

So I made an object, and it uses this code:

if keyboard_check_pressed(vk_down) vspeed = 4 else
if keyboard_check_pressed(vk_up) vspeed = -4 else
if keyboard_check_pressed(vk_right) hspeed = 4 else
if keyboard_check_pressed(vk_left) hspeed = -4 else
if keyboard_check_released(vk_up || vk_down) vspeed = 0 else
if keyboard_check_released(vk_right || vk_left) hspeed = 0

When I press up or down, it stops moving - that's fine.
But when I press right or left, nothing happens. Anyone here knows what's wrong?

I know what's wrong --- you didn't read this article. Pay attention to the two rules near the end of the article:

• DO NOT translate English sentences word-for-word into GML symbols.

• If either side of an && or || operator is not meant to be treated as a Boolean value (true/false), the code is wrong.

This is what your first release check should have looked like:

if (keyboard_check_released(vk_up) || keyboard_check_released(vk_down))

Same with the line after.

That works. Thanks!
