I dont know how to do a timer rpg i tried the wait command but get undesired effects could you tell me how to do this?

you did give me an idea though i now have made it so that when the upkey is pressed it hides the sprite i tried to use delete sprite before and made the program crash everytime i pressed the upkey cos it tried to delete the sprite after it had been deleted.

You probably have something like this:

if upkey() = 1 then delete sprite x

Instead use this:

if upkey() = 1 and sprite exist(x) then delete sprite x
