you need a semicolon (";") between them though, no?

if sprite_index=old_sprite; sprite_index=new_sprite

like that?

If you're new to GM, just use D&D. How many times do I have to say that?

Don't try to run before you can walk, I still use mainly D&D.

I cannot remember if there is supposed to be a space before the first bracket thingy, but that is how I would set it up.  Are you setting it up for just changing after one type of sprite is done, or is there more than one sprite?  If there are more, if would look like this:

switch(sprite_index){
case(old_sprite1):sprite_index=new_sprite1; break;
case(old_sprite2):sprite_index=new_sprite2; break;
case(old_sprite3):sprite_index=new_sprite3; break;
case(old_sprite4):sprite_index=new_sprite4; break;
}

It is good to try and run before you walk.  It shows ambition and lack of fear.  Those who often start out running never fear falling down because they go through it a lot, and in the end they are stronger for it.

It still helps to understand what you're doing. If you understand D&D first, you will be able to code better.

The walking and running metaphor is not the best to describe the situation anyway.  It is more like having your parents drive you around before you get your license to drive and then learning how to drive.  Your parents did everything for you, so you might know what it is like to drive, you have never done it.  You could probably imagine yourself doing it, but not all of it.  When you learn to drive, you quickly realize that it is not simply push pedal and turn wheel.  There are other factors you have to learn.  The whole fact that someone did something for you does not give you the progresses ability to do something.

In other words,  while D&D may be good for beginners, it really does not help you to go into GML.  If you were a master of D&D, you would still have to learn how to set up GML.  Not only that, but GML offers more than D&D does, so even if you know all of D&D, you are still missing out on a lot of stuff.

No, everything I have said is something that I have thought of in five minutes or less.

I know you would, but you should first learn D&D then learn how to set up GML. It would be easier to learn how to set up GML if you already know D&D.

Like I would have liked to learn what I am going to post here by going through D&D and then going to GML.  If you start out with GML, you can start a lot faster.  You do not even have to know how to do everything.  There are programs that will break down the D&D for you.

The simple fact is that D&D is not practical, and because of its unpracticality, it is a waste of time to learn and then switch to GML.  If you are serious about Game Maker, you should go straight to GML.  The time it takes you to learn it is about the same as D&D if not less, and in the end you do not have to switch when you get constrained by limits.

I would not want to do this in D&D.  If there was a mistake in it, it would take a very long time to find the mistake in D&D
Code: [Select]
u=keyboard_check(vk_up)-keyboard_check(vk_down)
d=keyboard_check(vk_down)-keyboard_check(vk_up)
l=keyboard_check(vk_left)-keyboard_check(vk_right)
r=keyboard_check(vk_right)-keyboard_check(vk_left)
if (u||d||l||r){moving=true}else{moving=false}
if sprite_index=link_s_u||sprite_index=link_w_u||sprite_index=link_sh_u{global.dir="u"}
if sprite_index=link_s_d||sprite_index=link_w_d||sprite_index=link_sh_d{global.dir="d"}
if sprite_index=link_s_l||sprite_index=link_w_l||sprite_index=link_sh_l{global.dir="l"}
if sprite_index=link_s_r||sprite_index=link_w_r||sprite_index=link_sh_r{global.dir="r"}
if global.state="normal"{
if u&&!l&&!r{sprite_index=link_w_u}
if d&&!l&&!r{sprite_index=link_w_d}
if l&&!u&&!d{sprite_index=link_w_l}
if r&&!u&&!d{sprite_index=link_w_r}
if moving=true{
if ((u||d)&&(l||r)){movestep+=(movespeed/sqrt(2))}
else{movestep+=movespeed}
while (movestep>=1) {
movestep-=1
xstep=r-l
ystep=d-u
if place_free(x+xstep,y){x+=xstep}
if place_free(x,y+ystep){y+=ystep}
}
}
else{
movestep=0
switch (sprite_index){
case link_w_d: sprite_index=link_s_d; break;
case link_w_u: sprite_index=link_s_u; break;
case link_w_l: sprite_index=link_s_l; break;
case link_w_r: sprite_index=link_s_r; break;
}
}
}
//Sprite Correction
if xstep<0&&sprite_index=link_w_r{sprite_index=link_w_l}
if xstep>0&&sprite_index=link_w_l{sprite_index=link_w_r}
if ystep<0&&sprite_index=link_w_d{sprite_index=link_w_u}
if ystep>0&&sprite_index=link_w_u{sprite_index=link_w_d}
if xstep<0&&sprite_index=link_s_r{sprite_index=link_s_l}
if xstep>0&&sprite_index=link_s_l{sprite_index=link_s_r}
if ystep<0&&sprite_index=link_s_d{sprite_index=link_s_u}
if ystep>0&&sprite_index=link_s_u{sprite_index=link_s_d}
if sprite_index=link_s_u&&moving=true{sprite_index=link_w_u}
if sprite_index=link_s_d&&moving=true{sprite_index=link_w_d}
if sprite_index=link_s_l&&moving=true{sprite_index=link_w_l}
if sprite_index=link_s_r&&moving=true{sprite_index=link_w_r}might as well say that the part of the code that helps with the diagonal movement was created by Goodnight.  It seems so far to be the best for the diagonal movement, so until I find anything else, it is what I use.
