Game Maker Questions Topic!!!

I've been running into a number of problems with my GM secret game (which will remain secret until I can at least get a good enough demo to post up), so every now and again I'm going to update this post with questions.

Problem #1: Okay, so I have two objects. Enemy and Enemy Attack. When the Enemy object is defeated, I set it to respawn, but the problem is I can't figure out how to improve the attacks of the object every time it's defeated. In other words, I'm trying to set it as follows: If Enemy is defeated, Enemy respawns and increase Enemy Attack. I need the characteristics of the Enemy Attack to be based on how many times Enemy has been defeated.

I don't know anything about Game Maker, but could you have another object called enemy death, which is used to say +1 to the attack of the enemy?

[Blablob]

Maybe. I'll try it and see if it works. I'll edit this post later and tell you how it works out.

Edit: Okay, the new object, which is basically just a controller, seems to work a lot. Though I'm still faced with the same problem, in a different manner. How do I change the speed of an object that homes in on another?

How am I supposed to make My enemys move? Ya know, like move around just using a script? I also need help making them shoot like that.

Plz help it's kinda urgent. How do i assign a different song to play when i eneter a new room?
Also, when i jump on the enemy(Koopa) My character disappears and i have to exit the game and restart it. Suggestions?

For the music part, I really couldn't help you because I don't really use that much music in my games.

For the disappearance problem, I'll need to see your code for it, so just post all of the Events and Actions for both the Player and the Koopa.

Don't worry i solved it.
Collision wth obj_Starbitfestsnd Play sound starbit fest Destroy instance E.T.C.
And i fixed the disappearing too.
Can Someone make some code for when i push button X Mario's Head(It's a head only like a smiley) Zooms faster than normal for a bit and so he's also invincable for that time?
And maybe a rotational gravity code? Normal flip-flop grav i can do.

I have a question. How can you make a message box appear so you can type something in, and what happens affects what you type in (like GML Buddy)?

How do i make a title screen where options are selected with the mouse?
Like, the mouse moves over an object and i the left mouse button is pressed, it will select that?
And how do i make a load file screen?

[AlucardX60]

Title options are easy Just make the sprite for START, EXIT, etc.

Then set there object counter part to change to the game room when START is left clicked and to exit game when EXIT is left clicked.

Other options and a loading screen however I can't help you with.


Now mah questyon.

I need a opponent to try to collide with a object, but it can only move left and right. Anyone know how to do this?
