what do you mean by action and event? like tell me what the situation would be. Like an explosion or something, I'm not like a Game Maker expert but I did take a class at school that teaches you game maker and you can make your own games, I made some pretty cool ones but yeah just tell me what your trying to get the objects to do.

Alright, so first make a new object with the blue ball at the top. Then you get the new object's window. You have four columns, the first is the general properties like name, parent, visible, solid, etc. The next column is you events. Events listen for things that happen such as mouse clicks, keyboard events, and some other things. To the right of the events is the actions. These are fired when an event is confirmed. To the right of that is the action selection. You drag these over to the actions to make a list of things to happen when  the event is fired.

Try clicking the 'Add Event' button in the event column and choose 'Key Press' > 'Right.' Then drag the red arrows from the action selection pane to the actions. Press the right arrow and set a speed of 5 or so and click ok. Then create a new room and place your object in the room. Test the game and your player should move to the right with when the right arrow key is pressed.

You can find some great tutorials on yoyogames and other places on the web

yes I do. here is your answer, in the events section go to key press and then hit space, and then put an action under that event that action would be, create instance of an object with a motion don't forget to put a sprite with that object and then set a collision with the object you want the bullet to destroy and for that you would go to the enemy's object, most likely object 2 or 3 and then put a collision event and put collision with object 1 or whatever that object name may be and set it to destroy self(enemy) and other(bullet) also for the create instance of an object with a motion put the speed you want the object to go at I would recommend 5-7 if you have any more questions just ask me on my page.
