Most good games of gamemaker make your character move somehow. This quick post will tell you how to make your character move.
First what you need is an object. For this post I'll use the name obj_player for my object.
Now go to the obj_player's window.
click add event-key press-A
go to actions - move tab - speed horizontal
Under the key press events
<A> = horizontal speed -4
<D> = horizontal speed 4
Vertical speed
<S> = Vertical speed 4
<W> = Vertical speed -4
MAKE SURE NOT TO PRESS RELATIVE
Now we need to make the player stop when not pressing anything.
For this, we use the event key release.
Under the key release events:
<A & D> = horizontal speed 0
vertical speed
<S & W> = vertical speed 0
That's all you need to make a player move.
Happy Gaming!

Sprites & Objects
Depending on which gamemaker version you are using, you should go to file and make sure advanced mode is on. This post will show the uses of sprites and objects and why they are needed for gameplay.
Sprites are the image(s) for your objects in the game. To make a sprite you can do it 1 of 3 ways. you could go to resources (at the top next to edit and scripts) and click create sprite. You could right-click sprite on the left toolbar; click create sprite. You could click the green/red pac-man thing in the toolbar and that brings it up. After you have that loaded, click edit sprite.
Once you click it, make a sprite then click the green checkmark to close the editor. Click center (center makes the x and y axis accurate) and click ok.And don't forget to add a name(ex.spr_player).
Objects bring your sprites to life with actions and events. You can create an object with the same ways as a sprite except the green/blue creates an object. When the create object screen comes up, click <no sprite> and select the sprite you made.
Thats the basic of the objects and sprites

Gamemaker Introduction
Gamemaker's a fun program to make games.You can make full platform shooting games start to end without any coding! I'll post a few games that I'm proud of. Gamemaker makes games using sprites, sound, paths, backgrounds, sounds, scripts, shaders, and rooms. The program can make very simple games such as fruit bouncing but it can also make full fps games(which I don't play). So continue if you want to learn something about the epic program.
