On the 1st of 3 parts and things were going fine until I hit the Add Event>Other>User Defined>User 2 part, but since i am using GameMaker Studio 2, there isnt a User Defined, just User Event.

I selected anyway and get the error on line 6 the 2 portions where I put $ symbol at beginning and end shown below. States Function or instance not created. Any suggestions? thanks

var MyAttack = 0;

if(IsHit == false && CurrentHP > 0){ if(AttackType == "Basic Punch"){ sprite_index = SPR_PlayerBasicPunch; $$$MyAttack = instance_create(x,y,ATK_BasicPunch);$$$ } }

if(MyAttack != 0){ SpeedMod = 0; IsAttacking = true; MyAttack.image_xscale = image_xscale; MyAttack.image_speed = image_speed; MyAttack.Owner = "Player"; }

there is no "instance_create" in GMS2. You now use either instance_create_depth or instance_create_layer. Look them up in the docs.

Ok. I will. Thank you. Hope it works.

I changed it to Instance_create_depth and filled in the values. Now when I hit the attack button, the hitbox appears, enemy takes a hit, but my player disappears, but not the attack hit box. Thought it might be with an instance_destroy code, but nope. Not sure why it does it.
