Dang, this stuff is getting pretty impressive, even in WIP form. If you don't know about them already, look up "Structs & Constructors" in GameMaker's manual. You can do a lot with structs but they're really useful for organizing data.
Instead of like
punchUp = y - 8;
punchDown = y + 8;
You could do
punch = {
up : y - 8,
down : y + 8,
}
and then access them like punch.up or punch.down instead of having to remember a bunch of variable names.
Also check out the Code Editor 2 beta(?) in the options. It puts all of the events into one window.

Thanks for the suggestions! Funnily enough I both discovered and taught myself how to use structs the literal day before you left this comment. I was doing so for the room_get_info() function in an attempt to have a random room layout. The game this was for is now up! Thanks for all that you’ve done to help me.
P.S. Code editor 2 just isn’t really for me. I prefer the tabs system.
