I think I have fixed the problem, and it was just a stupid mistake. Thanks for helping anyway.

I think if you leave this line:

file_text_close(file0);//Program adds the words in the text file into its currently running instance

Till the end, it should work. But idk, you try it and tell me what happens.

I tried what you said and still got the same problem. Plus, wouldn't a file have to be closed before it can be used for another purpose, or is that just me?

Looks fine to me. I think it might actually be a bug in GM. I'm not sure though. I'm a GMnoob >_>

I have checked the change logs for GameMaker's recent versions and I did not see anything like this, so either it is a new bug or I just did something wrong. I think figuring that out is the most important step at this point.

In the second line, you use "sqr(x-x)", won't that always return 0? Am I missing something, or is it an error?

I only left it like that to keep the formula constant. I knew it would always return 0 anyway.

he object is pointing up at image index 0

Protip, direction 0 is equivalent to facing right. Just so you know. Your image should be facing right.

Yup. Kinda figured that out myself.

Also, can someone show me the way to do it how I was trying it, just so I can have the satisfaction of knowing?
