hello,
everyone been asking me if i could tell them how to do cheats. cheats are very simple to do. the first thing you have to do is to create a controller object (no sprite needed). in its create event add the following

create event:

cheat = ""

now that you got that you have to add a new event.
this event can be a button or anything. lets say its keyboard<enter>
just type this in.
cheat = get_string("write anything here",""
if (cheat = "whatever you put
{make something happen}

what all that does is that does is that when you press enter an input box will come up. the player must type in the cheat and actions will happen
enjoy
