How do I do this in GML?

There's this D&D action in Game Maker called "Create Moving" where you can create an instant of an object and set a direction and speed at the same time. If one wants to make several objects at the same time or in succession, they can use this action over and over again.

What's the best way to do this with GML?

(Please provide an example by creating 8 instances of something 45 degrees apart, allowing for different speeds.)

In addition, how do you do "Step Avoiding" in GML?

ID = instance_create(x,y,object)
with ID motion_set(direction,speed)

This can help you!

For the first question, do what Darkyoshi said.
For the second, just go to the help file and look for the "mp_" functions.

If found this on this Page

Step Avoiding
mp_potential_step(x,y,stepsize,checkall);

Okey dokey. Thanks guys.
