Who needs lagging fixed?, (is this in the right section?)

[Ziso]

Ok, I have heard of a bunch of people having lag problems in they're games. So I will post up this helpful code for that matter.

For Gamemaker btw.

This code was made by Flipiberke, not me, so don't accuse me of copying his idea. This is in big font so that I can be sure you don't miss it.

This code goes in the step event of the enemies you want it for.

if (x > view_xview[0]-sprite_width) && (x < view_xview[0]+view_wview[0]+sprite_width)
{
if (activate == false) then hspeed := -1;
activate := true;
}
else
{
activate := false;
hspeed := false;
}

This code goes in the creation event of the enemies you want it for.

activate := false

This stops lag and also makes it so that enemies don't move unless in view. We don't want a bunch of enemies falling off cliffs before we get to them now do we?

Thats a nice code but there are some that are better.

Don't use a lot of transparent sprites. Transparent makes the game slow.
