There are some actions out there on old versions of GM that are gone in GM:Studio, which is really interrupting my game making progress...
Does anyone know any way to replace them?

It would be useful to know which actions you're needing, though

Well let's see, for example the step actions in the move section. They are gone in Studio...

Oh! I never use drag n drop actions.
Seems like you have to go with codes on a lot more things in studio!
Like move_towards_point(x,y,sp); for example.

Yeah I tried to do that, (the exact same script you just gave me LOL) but I need the thing that it avoids solid objects... what do I do there?

mp_potential_step()

mp_potential_step()

I'll give it a try, I am still new to scripting so I have a lot to learn

It's not that hard to learn. Just replace some of your actions with code now and then, and you'll learn faster than you think! :D
I usually replaced actions with code when you need

if blablabla 
{ 
something here 
}

cause that's a lot of lines with actions, and is cleaner with code.

The mp_functions are quite well documented in the manual, and I have a LOAD of tutorials that will also help you get to grips with those functions... http://nocturnegames.../aiexamples.htm

Wow, thanks guys! You just make me wanna learn more! ^^
It's time to replace the drag and drop actions with scripts!

Also just a question, what do I do if I want it to avoid more than one object?

[Nocturne]

Give them a single "parent" object and then use the same codes, but looking for the parent object instead of the individual ones. Again, the manual is your friend! (I also have a parent tutorial on the site I linked to somewhere!)

They there, so we will try and "bring them back" into D&D.

Parent? I noticed that a lot of times but I never understood what it does, time to learn xD
Also I did some "research" and I found the right script for that! :D

[Neri]

Oh yeah that reminds me, when I use the "Color Sprite" action (which I haven't learned how it works in coding yet) DOES NOT WORK NO MATTER WHICH OBJECT USES IT OR IN WHAT EVENT IT HAPPENS IN...
EDIT: It only happens in HTML5 games, THAT'S what confuses me O_o
