In Topic: Distance to Object But Direction Sensitive

Use trigonometry. Sounds scarier than it is.

This is the only advice I can give for a not very specific problem. Please post your code or sequence of command blocks for us to look at, or describe in great detail the concept you are attempting to emulate. Otherwise the YYGC is as blind as a bat.

In Topic: Lowering a variable at a random rate

BAD idea.
Here is a much more ergonomic solution: 
<insertvariablehere>-=irandom(<insertrangehere>)+<insertbasevaluehere>

From what I can understand you will want this:

if x+-[whatever margin you need for hitbox] < [>] enemy.x && y+-[whatever margin you need for hitbox] < [>] enemy.y
hp-=5

//for the next piece of code you will need a direction variable: d
if keyboard_check_pressed(ord("X"))
{
if d=0
{
if enemy.x=x-4
enemy.hp-=5
}
else
{
if enemy.x=x+4
enemy.hp-=5
}
}

// and death check of course.

if hp<=0
//insert deathcode here
if enemy.hp<=0
//insert deathcode here

There are many ways to make a player or enemy "die"
The cleanest in my opinion is to make character invisible and disable normal character input, or to deactivate the instance.

You should very well keep in mind that gml runs slow, and Android is a "compile-as-you-run" so to speak (Just like java). Combine the two for a headache.
