So basically, you need help with the most important aspects of the game? I'll give you a rough outline of the code required and you can ask questions about what you don't get.

Player object

//Create Event:

hp = 100;
maxhp = 100;
canShoot = true;

//Step Event:

if(hp<=0){
    game_restart();
}

if(keyboard_check_pressed(vk_space)){
    yy = yprevious;
    y += 5;
    while(y!=yy){
    y -= .5;
    }
}
if(mouse_check_button_pressed(mb_left) && canShoot==true){
    canShoot = false;
    bullet = instance_create(x,y,obj_bullet)
    bullet.direction = direction;
    bullet.speed = 10;
}

//Alarm 0 Event:

canShoot = true;

//Collision Event(with obj_bullet)

hp -= 10;

Enemy object

//Create Event: 

canShoot = true;
hp = 100;
maxhp = 100;

//Step Event:

if(canShoot){
    canShoot = false;
    bullet = instance_create(x,y,obj_bullet);
    bullet.direction = direction;
    bullet.speed = 10;
    alarm[0] = room_speed*1.5;
}

//Alarm 0 Event:

canShoot = true;

//Collision Event(with Bullet object)

hp -= 10;

That should do it.

Just a more simple version of what he was doing

Right release (or whatever key it is)

if canshoot = true
{
instance_create(x,y,obj_bullet
canshoot = false
alarm[1]=room_speed*1
}

alarm1

canshoot = true

bullet create

image_angle = direction
move_towards_point(mouse_x,mouse_y,speed)

This will work.
