Is there any way to make this code shorter? Got tons of these in my menu object..

if setting[0,0] > 5
    setting[0,0] = 1
if setting[0,0] < 1
    setting[0,0] = 5
    
if setting[1,0] > 1
    setting[1,0] = 0
if setting[1,0] < 0
    setting[1,0] = 1
    
if setting[2,0] > 5
    setting[2,0] = 1
if setting[2,0] < 1
    setting[2,0] = 5
    
if setting[3,0] > 20
    setting[3,0] = 1
if setting[3,0] < 1
    setting[3,0] = 20
    
if setting[4,0] > 1
    setting[4,0] = 0
if setting[4,0] < 0
    setting[4,0] = 1
    
if setting[5,0] > 50
    setting[5,0] = 1
if setting[5,0] < 1
    setting[5,0] = 50
    
if setting[6,0] > 1
    setting[6,0] = 0
if setting[6,0] < 0
    setting[6,0] = 1

Expand and hide text within brackets would be very helpful when cleaning up your code.
Is this coming in future updates? Or is there any Game Maker mods or something?

I'm making a replay engine for my game but it doesn't seem to work and I can't find the problem. There's no game errors, the files created after recording looks fine, but when you try to replay it nothing happens. I even tried making a complete new .gmk to see if it would work but it didn't. Why!?

Create event for obj_control:

(obviously it doesn't really say "//walk")

Here's what the gameplay.play file would look like after a few seconds of capturing:

Oh, you choose between recording and replaying in the main menu.

I hope I didn't forget something. Oh, you choose between recording and replaying in the main menu.

I want to change the view size without making the HUD look bigger.
Can anyone help me?
