I haven't really done much over the past couple of days. Yesterday I accidentally deleted the entire step event/movement code for my player (which was very scary) but I managed to recover it from one of the backups Game Maker saved *phew*. Other than that, I didn't do much. I changed the location of the score counter and made it work again, and I added some text and inputs for the menu. I also started working on the game page for when I upload it.
Today I've been trying to work on getting the sprite to change direction when the player is facing a certain direction (for example if the player is facing right while peeing on the hydrant the sprite will face right, and if the player is facing left, the sprite will face left) but I just can't wrap my head around it. Nobody online seems to have a simple way to do it that also works for a side-scroller. Even when I try the "complicated" methods it doesn't seem to work. This issue is included in the two constant issues I can't seem to get around. The other being the human walking sprite cancelling out the movement. These are also the two things I need to consider this game a completed prototype.
