How would one create a boss object that:
1. Stops and shakes when hit
2. Increasingly turns red with each hit
3. Teleport all over the room

[thegame]

To make it stop and shake, you do something like this

//Create
base_x=x;
shake=0;

//In the event when attacked - 
shake=30;

//Step

if(shake>0) {
  if(x>base_x+3) { //Change the '3's to create the range of motion you want
    hspeed=4; //Change the speed to the speed you want to shake at
  } else if(x<base_x+3) {
    hspeed=-4;
  }
  if(shake=1) {
    x=base_x;
    alarm[0]=room_speed*3; //This will be understood later... in the teleportation part
  } else {
    alarm[0]=-1;
  }
  shake-=1;
} else {
  shake=0;
  base_x=x; 
}

For the turning red, I know it is possible, though I don't know how to blend a colour into a sprite... so I can't really answer this...
For teleporting

//Create
alarm[0]=room_speed*3; //3 seconds
//Alarm 0 Event
x=irandom_range(0,room_width);
y=irandom_range(0,room_height);
alarm[0]=room_speed*3 //Change this if you want it to teleport at a different rate

The boss just moves to the left continuously after being hit.

Oh... Whoops I put the wrong symbol... I meant to do it like this

if(shake>0) {

  if(x<base_x+3) { //Change the '3's to create the range of motion you want

    hspeed=4; //Change the speed to the speed you want to shake at

  } else if(x>base_x+3) {

    hspeed=-4;

  }

  if(shake=1) {

    x=base_x;

    alarm[0]=room_speed*3; //This will be understood later... in the teleportation part

  } else {

    alarm[0]=-1;

  }

  shake-=1;

} else {

  shake=0;

  base_x=x; 

}

VERY sorry for that!
