Need help with Programming Code

[thatpcguy]

Okay so I do not know how many of you are familiar with the programming language that game maker uses but I need your help, I do not know where I have gone wrong with my code, all the help would be appreciated

First, what code is this supposed to be (game creators use lots of different code), second what are you trying to achieve, third what went wrong with the code (meaning what function did it not fulfill properly).

Not that I can be of help, but I'd just like to say that pasting the copy will help others debug because they don't have to type it themselves.

The content of that last IF-statement looks very weird, though I'm not familiar with GML. Can you really just type something like "check sound is not already playing [...]", wouldn't you need to query, say, a variable and check if the sound is playing or not?

Not familiar with GML but I think that your comparison operator should be "=="; as in:

if(image_index == 2 or 6) {bla bla}

A single equal sign like you used is generally for assignment.

 

The content of the statement looks weird to me as well, but no GML experience so I can't comment more than that.

You're welcome!

 

Just imagine how many times I did it myself to end up spotting it right away Should make you feel better

I'm not sure about that language in particular but in most if you do

if(x == 2 or 6)

it will always be true because 6 (or any other number, char, etc. except 0) will always evaluate to true.

Yeah normally it is something like if (x == 2 or x == 6)
