https://gametechmods.com/uploads/files/7620Don't Invade My Space Version 01.zip (https://gametechmods.com/uploads/files/7620Don't Invade My Space Version 01.zip)
A small Space Invaders clone I'm working on just to get into game design/development again.
Right now, the issues are clear and will be easily fixed.
Down the line, I would appreciate you guys if you could give me tips/feedback.

Am still updating this game. Haven't worked on it for a while.
Would appreciate people with some GameMaker knowledge to come forward and give me some tips.
(Will post download link when I'm on my computer)
A problem I'm running into at the moment is that I can't shoot and move at the same time. Can anyone help me with this?

If you have a sh**-tier keyboard, it might not be able to accept the inputs for firing and moving at the same time. Try moving firing to a mouse button to see if that helps.

Gamemaker is to development what sonic fanfiction is to literature. I'm sure that there are good piece of sonic fanfiction, but you can see my point. I was only joking anyway, as you can see by my >>>meme chevrons<<<
How are you getting user input?

GameMaker is popular because it's easy to use and flexible enough for most hobby developers, that's pretty much what you want from a good engine.

Could be that the frame update only recognizes the last keyboard input received, ignoring all previous inputs for that frame. What happens if you hold fire and then tap move?
If you still can't figure it out, sharing your code can't hurt. Though this sounds like something that can be Googled.

Press Right to go right.

Left to go left.

Press Space which first asks if "canfire" is set to 1 (which is set by default to 1 when P1 is spawned). If it is, then a bullet is created above it, once that's done, it lowers the canfire value to 0 and then Alarm 0 is set for 10 steps.

When that alarm goes off, canfire is set back to 1.
Any ideas?

BOI game maker, using the blocks even! Memories...
Anyways did you have the same problem with the version you posted in the first post?
It fires and moves at the same time there for me.

Yeah, still the same problem.

Okay, let me explain it better as I've realised the problem;
If the alarm doesn't go off before I press fire again, it resets it the alarm. There's probably a very easy way to sort this.

Make a big block for all the instructions for the space bar and use the if instruction before it where you check if canfire is equal to 1.
This way if it's still 0 it won't do the instructions in the block again until the alarm resets canfire to 1.
