I am kinda stumped here and I don't know where to go from here any assistance would be greatly appreciated
my code:
1: //Player Movement
2:
3: var xDirection, yDirection;
4: xDirection = keyboard_check(ord('D')) - keyboard_check(ord('A'));
5: xDirection = keyboard_check(ord('S')) - keyboard_check(ord('W'));
6:
7: x += xDirection * 5
8: x += yDirection * 5

The Error:

___________________________________________
############################################################################################
FATAL ERROR in

yDirection doesn't have a value.

should line 5 be:
yDirection = keyboard_check(ord('S')) - keyboard_check(ord('W'));

And while we're at it, should line 8 be:
y += yDirection * 5
