Hello! I'm new to Gms2, and I want to make an action game. I can't find any tutorials that help me. I need someone who can teach me.

An action game? Like a top down shooter or a platformer?

[SaltyCultist]

What i want to make is kinda like Cuphead. I want to make a Platformer if you don't know what that is.

I have been trying for hours to get a dash and health working.

Please add me if you can help.

here's a nice tutorial for dashing

and for health it can look like this

CRATE EVENT
hp = 3; // health
dmg_cooldown = 0; // demage cooldown so you can only recieve demage every x seconds

STEP EVENT
dmg_cooldown -= 1; // decrease the cooldown by 1 every step
if dmg_cooldown < 0 and place_meeting(x, y, obj_projectile) // check
    {
    hp -= 1; // remove one hp
    dmg_cooldown = 60 * 2; // room_speed * 2 is 2 seconds

    if hp <= 0 // no lives?
        {
        // die
        }
    }

I'm sorry but i have one more question, all the code worked great but when i added the restart_room action every time it told me i had the wrong number off arguments. Whats the deal with that??? I looked it up and nothing useful came up so...

room_restart() has no arguments
it automatically chooses the current room
