Ok, next I was thinking I should add an enemy that fires back at you. How would I create an object that intentionally targets another object (ie, the player)?

There should be a action that lets a object move towards another object, should be able to put that in the create event with the speed you want.

Ok... how do I make it create an object randomly at a random location?

Ah, I've got an idea, what if I just made a few invisible objects that went through everything except walls and eachother, and had the game create the thing every time a pair of them collided?

Or you could also create an object, use Move Fixed to make it start moving in a direction, and Jump To Random to spawn it in a random spot. For spawning it at random times you can have a Chance check and if it is successful then spawn the object, otherwise do nothing

Hmm, yes, that would work too, but what action would I use to tell it when to be created? Is there a timer function or something I can use?

use the chance check on a instance create, for the x and y spots use "random(room_width)" and "random(room_height)", respectively.

That... doesn't answer my question at all o_O.

What do I put HERE?

Create event? Assuming your talking about the randomly spawning.

Ok, tried it, the "Create" event didn't do anything... I think "Create" event makes the event trigger when the object is created, which it hasn't been created yet... hmm...

Well ya, what way are you trying to do?

If your doing it my way, then you need to just use some kind of controller object.
