Quite very useful!
Good points: You created an extention that covers alot of points the original GM did not!
Bad point: The pause function is effective, but a little weak. Any button? You could add a function that lets one button unpause the game.
Overall: Good, with a slight bit of work, brilliant.
Rating: 10/11

Awesome comment back when you've tried it and tell me what you think about it and what it needs

Eh, not bad for starters, althoughhalf of the stuff there they should learn how to do themselves, as it's very basic.

Not a bad start, though.

I've got a question. How "in-depth" (for lack of a better word) is the save object/code? I know some codes can save things like the player's progress along with current health, current level, current experience points, current location in a certain room, time, or whatever the player might have. While other save codes might only be able to save one or only a few of these.
The save function in Game Maker I know is pretty basic too.
How much data can this save?

Excuse me if I didn't explain that very well. I'm not sure how to explain it myself, heh.

i get what your saying the only thing is im not sure really 'cause i haven't tested something like that out im pretty sure it saves every thing but i dont know if it doesnt save everything if you know what i mean maybe you should test it out for me and tell me anything it doesnt save

Heh heh, sure. I was planning to play around with it and test it anyway, just figured I'd ask first.

Ok, because right now I've had trouble getting onto the net so i wanna do some things first

[EYE]

great idea I love it! This provides some of the basic too novice stuff that some begginners may need but don't know how to do. BTW don't remember the name of the guy who said they should learn it themselves but with this they will learn it lol ...
