So, here's what I'm dealing with. I'm making a game named 'Megaman Battle Network CYBEAST ONLINE' and I'm having a little trouble. Here's my issue.

There is a "Choose Cross" screen, which is it's own room. When you hover over a "cross" it doubles in size. When you click it, you go to, what I've called, Trialnet. If you click on an object --Badnavi-- on the Trialnet you go to a "battlefield" room. My issue lies when I click the "cross" I want it to become the sprite in the "battlefield" room. For my first "cross", the "aqua cross" I've made the "Left Pressed" event both the "Go to room trialnet" and "Change sprite into aqua (Applies to object: player)" actions. When I begin the game I click on the "aqua cross", go to the Trialnet, but when I press on the Badnavi the player sprite has not changed. Help?

Just make a global variable. Set it in the first room and then check in the next.

I started using Game Maker 8.1 about 3 days ago, so may I ask how to make this "global variable"?

In the object you're using for the Crosses, put global.Cross="" (or whatever you want to call the variable) into it's Create event then on Left Pressed use global.Cross= <Cross standing sprite name>. Put global.Cross into what you want to change the sprite into and it should work.

So what I did is added a code action to the Left Pressed and it was "global.aqua=<player_ready>", and I get the error
"FATAL ERROR in
action number 3
of Mouse Event for Left Pressed
for object aqua:

COMPILATION ERROR in code action
Error in code at line 1:
global.aqua=<player_ready>
^
at position 8: Variable name expected."

What should I do? Pictures would help; sorry, I'm not the brightest.

Don't actually encapsulate the sprite name with greater than/less than signs; he just meant to use that as a placeholder for your actual resource name.

If you're coding this, global.aqua = player_ready

Then in the object that you want to change the sprite in, in room_start event: sprite_index = global.aqua
