file_text_write_string(file_text_open_write("
AchIE.txt"),string(XORencyrpt("global.APi = 1"))
You forgot to close bracket in file_text_open_write

Code it's not working becouse you need to set file_text_open_write() in a variable

file=file_text_open_write("AchIE.txt")
file_text_write_string(file,string(XORencyrpt("global.APi = 1"))

I tried that and i still got the smae error. Heres EXACTLY what i did.

if (score >=  global.APiS && global.APi = 0)
                 {
                 var _FILE;
                 _FILE = file_text_open_write("AchIE.txt")
                 XepyhrPoints += global.APiP
                 if global. APiA = 0 {
                             file_text_write_string(_FILE,string(XORencyrpt("global.APi = 1")))
                             alarm[0] = 100
                             APiA = 1
                             }
                 /*DRAWINGSTUFF |
                 }

there might be some typos becuase my game is on a different computer and it doesnt have internet

Well I see you are using this code in draw event and maybe the error is because of this. So move _FILE = file_text_open_write("AchIE.txt")
in the create event and make sure to change _FILE to FILE(_FILE is only a temp variable). I think it will work.

thanks so much that works
EDIT:
now im having problems with reading the text file. Here's my code:

CREATE:

FILE = file_text_open_write("AchIE.txt")

FILER = file_text_open_read("AchIE.txt")
APiF = file_text_read_string("AchIE.txt")
APiFILE = string(XORencrypt(APiF))

DRAW:

if (score >= global.APiS && global.APi = 0) && (!APiFILE = "global.APi = 1")
    {
BLABLABLA }

thanks again ani.

You can not open the same file for reading and writing. To fix this you need to close file and then open it again. So it will be like this:

FILE = file_text_open_read("AchIE.txt")
APiF = file_text_read_string(FILE)//here you will write the id of file you have opened that is FILE 
file_text_close(FILE)//close file
APiFILE = string(XORencrypt(APiF))  
FILE = file_text_open_write("AchIE.txt")//Open it again for writing. Close it when you dont want anymore

I tried that and it worked, but the draw event thing is having an error "wrong type if argument to unary operator"

if (score >= global.APiS && global.APi = 0) && (!APiFILE = "global.APi = 1")
    {
BLABLABLA

Also, the argument to file_text_read_string() is NOT the filename, it's the handle obtained with file_text_open_read(). So in your case, it should be FILER.
