However, I don't know how to make the mouse affect the game. Does anyone know how to make the mouse into an object? It is the only problem I have encountered so far, and all I need to finish the game.

I put "exucute a piece of code" in as an action, and in it I wrote: mouse_x mouse_y and it says: COMPILATION ERROR in code action Error in code at line 2: mouse_y at position 2: Assignment operator expected. What do I do now?

Wherever you would enter the position of something (for example, jump to position, move toward position, create object at position, destroy objects at position, where to draw something, etc.) enter mouse_x and mouse_y instead of the actual numbers. -------------------- Access my web-site Vonkeror: the new web-browser Wikipedia user-page My gopher site Forget Web 2.0.

Use "Perform a step event towards a point" and fill in as following:

CODE

x = mouse_x
y = mouse_y
speed = put a high value here (20 for example)
spot at = solid only

And zzo38, mouse_x and mouse_y are values of variables.

mouse_x and mouse_y are names of variables. Just like any other variables their names can be used in place of a number

I tested it by setting variable mouse_x to 16 and I got an error message about it while running the game. -------------------- Youtube\|DA\|Wiki\|Backloggery\|UME

Just to clear this up, I believe the documentation of GM calls mouse_x and mouse_y "read-only variables", since they can only be read, and not set in code.

It says in the documentation that "Variable names marked with a * are read-only, that is, their value cannot be changed". mouse_x and mouse_y are mentioned in a list of "variables and functions" for mouse interaction, with a * next to them.

I'm not trying to be a know-it-all or anything; just saying.
