What systems (if any) already exist for the desired results? Check the projects wiki page.
What systems need to be modified? Are we the system owner or need to request a new system interface?

obj_playerfor position.The behaviour of firing when only in range is new. How can we go from descriptive comments into code?
// If player is in range and not reloading, fire towards the enemy
alarm[0]. Translate the intent into appropriate code syntax.
// If player is in range and not reloading, fire towards the enemy
if distance_to_object(obj_player) <= range and alarm[0] <= 0 {
// Fire
// Reload
}
// If player is in range and not reloading, fire towards the enemy
if distance_to_object(obj_player) <= range and alarm[0] <= 0 {
// Fire
var arrow_direction = point_direction(x, y, obj_player.x, obj_player.y)
var offset = 48
var weapon_x = x + lengthdir_x(offset, arrow_direction)
var weapon_y = y + lengthdir_y(offset, arrow_direction)
var Weapon = instance_create_layer(weapon_x, weapon_y, "Instances", obj_weapon)
Weapon.speed = 6
Weapon.direction = arrow_direction
Weapon.image_angle = arrow_direction
Weapon.player_weapon = false
// Reload
alarm[0] = reload_time * game_get_speed(gamespeed_fps)
