For starters you don't need that many objects, for walking and such. If you need them to walk use change sprite D&d.
How do you even jump your controls are all over place.
Alright, I see your problem just give me a minute.

Erm... do it yourself? That´s the best way to learn! It´s easy, all you have to do is in each keyboard event have the sprite change and place the movement codes.

k i'll try

edit- how do i check for two keys pressed at once?

Have two key checks, but in DnD it´s more complex and normally you would have to set a variable to achieve this as well...

So, say you want to check "shift" and "W"... You would create a variable in the create event called "modify" or something and set it to 0. Then in the KEY PRESS event of "W" AND the KEY PRESS event of "shift" you would then add 1 onto "modify" (set the variable to 1 and check the relative box). Next, in the KEY RELEASE event for those two keys you would take one off "modify" (set var to -1 relative). Finally, in the NORMAL KEYBOARD event you would have :

test variable "modify" equal 2

open block

whatever here as BOTH keys are pressed (it equals two)

close block

else

open block

whatever here as one key is pressed

close block



There you go and I hope that helps!

Uhh... whats the gml way? i know a bit of coding but I use dnd when in a rush.

[Nocturne]

GML is MUCH easier! Lets use my shift+w example again...

//IN THE KEYBOARD EVENT FOR "W"
if keyboard_check(vk_shift)
{
//two keys so do something...
}
else
{
//Normal "W" codes here...
}

Hope that helps!

This is really weird. The only way to get unstuck from after touching the wall then the ground is to hold the left or right button and press the jump button. After debugging the problem has to lie in your object Fstand. For some reason it won't change instance to where it is walking, yet understands I'm pressing the button because I can press the D-key and press the W-key and I'll jump. Only I'll jump in the same place. I really can't tell why this is happening right now, but will keep trying.

[DcoldSaviour77]

I'm so dumb
You had loop buddy. The problem wasn't in Fstand object but in both your walking objects.
Look at your Fstand when the player presses A or D it changes to one of the walking objects.
Now when in both your walking objects gamemaker sees an collision event with the block.
In that event your saying when it is in contact with that block to change instance back to Fstand.
Then when you press A or D again in the Fstand object it does the same thing again starting a loop.
I'm guessing you meant to put vspeed=0.
To be clear put vspeed=0 instead of the change instance and you'll be good!
I suggest you also put your movement into 1 object or else that can easily happen again. And it's only going to get harder to find the problem later with more objects and such if keep it the way you have it.
Do that and your good to move on in your game!!!!!
It looks nice too!!!
