Well, here is the idea, if you don't get it, pm me

When using some code for random generation, you can set a number called the "seed". Every time you use the same seed to create a world with random generation, you'll actually get the same world. (for more information about seeds, look up the random_set_seed() function in the game maker docs)

Now, if you divide your map in chuncks, and you assign a seed to every chunck based on it's location, every time you get close enough to that chunck it will generate the map present in that chunck with the seed that's based on the chuncks location. If you go far enough from the chunck you can delete all objects that were present in it. This way, every time you come back to that chunck you'll get exactly the same map. This is because of that the seed is based on it's location and the location of the chunck doesn't change.

The maps wouldn't be completely infinite but the maps will have a chunck radius of probably around the 40.000 chuncks, so it's probably big enough
