Medley of suggestions 8: Essential Edition

Medley of Suggestions 8
Essentials Edition
Welcome to the 8th edition of Medley of Suggestions. In this edition I will do a compilation of suggestions that I think that most of them will be awesome for PB, but also very helpful, that's why the edition is Essential Edition, because most of them are necessary or very helpful.
Let's begin:

Import completely custom sprites:
I know that you can import over the extra sprites, but to be sincere. This is not very proper for a good program.

Loop command and random number placeholder:
I post recently something about this but will be cool and I think that will add a lot to the software.

As enemy to execute over himself, item and projectile:
I don't know if this thing is yet done, but anyways. As you can do
Code: [Select]
enemy = face rightDo things like:
Code: [Select]
delay 8
item = item 8


More specific with stuff:
This is a bad name for this such of thing. This suggestion is for, when you make enemy. Instead of say "speed = fast". Alternatively write a number such as 15. Also will be cool to have a big number pallete, for example, instead of 5 slow and 10 fast. 50 slow, 100 normal, 150 fast.

Use decimals in variables and some values:
Will be awesome

UPDATE 2
Particle Creator:
Particles are such useful for decorating environment. Will be cool to see that in Platform Builder. I saw other programs created with Game Maker that have particle creator such as Mine-Imator.

Thank you, I will post some updates to this topic if I see it convenient :D

Manager for the custom sprites is a thing that I also wait for long already. :)
