Game Maker Help

I am using game maker to make a game. I'm making a Maze-type game, and I made the first level, then I tested it. When I press the button to make it move, it just sits there. Does anyone here use Game Maker and know what I did wrong?

First off, did you make an object? Okay, good. In the player object, create a new event and set it to "Key Press <Up>." Then drag the "Start moving in a direction" button into the 'Actions' column. When the window pops up, click on the up button and set the speed (I usually use a speed of 3-5). Click OK. Place the object in the room. Run the game, and now the player should move up. Do the same for all the directions.

Did that help?

Thats what I did before, & I tried it again, nothing happened... BTW I didn't register, although that probably has nothing to do with the problem

It would be a lot easier if the exact code and/or Drag & Drop Steps were given. I may be able to help you then.

No, registering has nothing to do with it. Places you might have gone wrong:

- not clicking a direction
- setting the speed

Go to the keyboard event and double click on the "Start moving in a direction" button. Move it until you can see both the pop-up window and the 'Action' column. Take a screenshot and post it, I may be able to help you then.
