/*var*/ //state_anim[0,0] = spr_man_down;

there's a code like this in create event
what does mean ??....
can anyone explain ??

Well it actually does nothing in its current state as it's within a comment. Comments are started with /* for multiple line comments or // for single line comments , the need to be ended with */ for multiplie line comments and need not be eneded for single line comments but you can't put any code you wish to function after the start of a comment on the same line.

It appears to set the 0,0 entry of an array holding animation states with the unique id of the resource spr_man_down. Perhaps you should look into arrays and study this person's code in a little more detail (since it is clearly not yours).

Uhh... this is a trick question, right?

/*var*/ //state anim[0,0] = spr man down

This does absolutely nothing because it is a comment. Comments do nothing other than give info

but this...

var state_anim[0,0] = spr_man_down

...also does nothing because you can't assign arrays to the 'var' function

and this...

var; state anim[0,0] = spr man down

...does nothing as well cause the 'var' is not assign to anything and the spaces cause sooo much separation that they render errors.

for this...

var; state_anim[0,0] = spr_man_down

...does the right thing. (except the 'var', since it's not assigned to anything it's useless)
You setting variable 'state_anim[0,0]' with the value of 'spr_man_down'

[TheouAegis]

var state_anim[0,0] = spr_man_down


sets array index 0,0 of variable state_anim to the sprite index of spr_man_down.

var is commented out because it doesn't work and he's debugging. probably left-behind code.

Sorry for late to reply.
Thanks for advanced I thought that was a complicated code not a comment.
Ok that's mean assign the changing of sprite index wherever they move, doesn't it ?

[NukeTheCat]

Uhh.. yeah.
example:

sprite_index = state_anim[0,0];
//you must be very  precise about this
