Moving an object a specefic amount X & Y?

Im using Game Maker 7 and today im for the first time in my life trying to use Game Maker.
I wonder if i can somehow make an object instantly move/teleport a specefic amount of X from its current position.
Im sure its possible but i havnt found a way to do it
Thnx! =)

In gamemaker there is an action-button "Jump to Position", which you could use. If your using the GML then you can just assign the position to x and y.

But my advice is to go through a tutorial on YoYoGames first and/or read the help file of Gamemaker. It will solve all of these kinds of basic questions.

You can either use the jump to position or just change the coordinates.  For example, lets say you wanted to move 5 on the x and 5 on the y.  If you were using jump to position, you would set the new x and y to:

x + 5
y + 5

If you were coding it, you would just simply type into your script:

x += 5
y += 5

Thnx, MG-Zero! That helped me alot.
And well, everything is going fine, this was the only problem i have got so far, this is like playing with toys if i compare with using JASS in Warcraft 3 World Editor
