not set before reading it.

[SuperStrengh]

i get the next error:
Variable <unknown_object>.direction(8, -2147483648) not set before reading it.
at gml_GlobalScript_PlayerAnimateSprite (line 2) - var _cardinalDirection = round(direction div 90);

for the next script:

//Update Sprite
var _cardinalDirection = round(direction div 90);
var _totalFrames = sprite_get_number(sprite_index) / 4;
image_index = localFrame + (_cardinalDirection * _totalFrames);
localFrame += sprite_get_speed(sprite_index) / FRAME_RATE;


if (localFrame >= _totalFrames)
{
animationEnd = true;
localFrame -= _totalFrames;
}else animationEnd = false;

someone please help me!

Are you perhaps trying to use pre 2.3 script formats in post 2.3 Game Maker

https://forum.yoyogames.com/index.p...ge-generates-undefined-variable-errors.79907/

2.3 changed how script works. Now scripts have to be of the following format:

/// Pre 2.3

//script sum
return argument0 + argument1;

//Post 2.3

function sum(a, b){
    return a + b;
}

i am new to game maker so if you could please give me an example in my situation how to use it.

Literally just wrap the entire script in a function, and then call updateSprite() where you need it.

function updateSprite(){

//Update Sprite
var _cardinalDirection = round(direction div 90);
var _totalFrames = sprite_get_number(sprite_index) / 4;
image_index = localFrame + (_cardinalDirection * _totalFrames);
localFrame += sprite_get_speed(sprite_index) / FRAME_RATE;

if (localFrame >= _totalFrames)
{
   animationEnd = true;
   localFrame -= _totalFrames;
}else animationEnd = false;
}
