Screenshots of GML Patch 4 in Action…

var mspd; //Creates the temporary value, mspd
mspd =(point_distance(x,y,mouse_x,mouse_y)/16); //Sets mspd to our needed speed

The above GML finds the distance between the source of the projectile and your mouse cursor, then divides by 16 to adjust the returned value to a usable speed (otherwise it’d go quite fast) This is how I used the code in my game:

var plyspd, gspd;
plyspd = o_player.hsp //Horizontal Speed of My Character
if plyspd < 0 { plyspd=plyspd*-1; } //If player is moving backwards, switch negative speed to positive
gspd = plyspd+(point_distance(x,y,mouse_x,mouse_y)/16) //Speed will be the calculated speed PLUS the speed the player is moving at
if gspd > (18.92)+plyspd { gspd = (18.92)+plyspd; } //Keeps the projectile from going rediculously fast by setting a limit plus the player's current speed
