I have an object called "mainPlayer", and an object called "dispenser". When I press a key and these two items are colliding, I need to increase "itemVariable" +1. How can I do this?

Thanks in advance.

collision event of dispenser with mainPlayer

if keyboard_check_pressed(vk_space)//this could be any thing.
{
itemValue+=1
}

for ordinary keys from A-Z and 0-9 u must do keyboard_check_pressed(ord('A')) etc.

So on the "key press" event (the button you have to press) or

//Have:
if position_meeting(x,y,obj) {itemValue+=1}

First make sure the code is in key press of obj_mainPlayer

Spoiler

Event: or
Action in the event:

Two variables? You mean obj_mainPlayer and obj_dispenser?

obj_dispenser would be put in the brackets (you don't need to put the mainPlayer 'cause the code is in it not a controller object)

if position_meeting(x,y,obj_dispenser) {itemVariable+=1} 
//once you press the key it executes this code which checks if you're colliding with obj_dispenser and if yes then it will increase itemVariable by one

Hope that's what you were asking for

Edit:
Woops forgot, change itemValue to itemVariable, I've change the code above so it should be fine
