Enemy Melee Attacks

[WolfYouTube]

I want to know how to do enemy melee attacks with a cool down effect

Can you be a bit more specific? Like with animation, coding. . . .

Ok, so lets say there is an enemy. That enemy takes like 5 secs for the enemy hit again.

Set a variable to check if the player can attack (for example 0 is able to attack and 1 isn't), set an alarm and disable the attacks, in the alarm event set the variable again to 0.
Something like this:

create event

can_attack = 0

step

if keyboard_check(vk_space) and can_attack = 0
{
//attack
can_attack = 1
alarm[0] = 5*room_speed
}

alarm event

can_attack = 0

i don't want the player to attack only the enemy.

You can repurpose molcap's code for pretty much any entity with an "attack" behaviour.
