Hello, everyone! I'm trying to add a button configuration option to a game I'm making, but I'm not exactly sure how to do it. Right now, I have an object and under the step event it checks if any key is pressed, and then sets a variable to keyboard_lastkey. This gives me a "Variable Name Expected" error, though, so I'm not sure what to do. Any ideas?

keyboard_lastkey is already a variable that holds the keycode of the last key pressed. You can't change it, though. If you are using your own variable, call it something different

Well, I'm trying to set a different variable to be equal to the keyboard_lastkey variable. It gives me an error though, so I'm not sure what to do.

for your [create]:

lst=0;

then for your [step]

if keyboard_check_pressed(vk_anykey) then
{ lst = keyboard_lastkey; }

Thanks for the help everyone, but as it turns out, the problem was because I had the key stored as a constant. I feel kind of stupid. Anyway, I changed it to being a variable instead and it works just fine. Thanks again!
