OK, now i know little more about this.
Do you know of any articles or tutorials how to make a good custom movements ?
Something that doesn't use fastloops and is smooth as a fox 
If not then could you explain how you do it, just the basic stuff for a simple platform.

I made my own custom physics engine without using fastloops. I didn't want to have to work out how to use extra fastloop events to sort through the multiple instances to get it all to work properly. But on the other hand i now have about a hundred extra events lol.
The same goes for my enemies movements actually.

Here's a couple ways that I know:
1) * Put everything into groups in the event editor and use the built-in group loops. *
------ It's good to be able to turn off a loop easily when you need to.
A nice thing to do sometimes is create an activation group, where you put all the events that trigger the other groups.
If there's alot of code, using several of these activation groups makes for better organisation.
2) * Use counters or alterable values to simulate a loop. *
------ This method can be quite effective. I usually prefer counters but when the code gets complex, alterable values are nice.
A mixture of the two is ideal.
3) * Hotkey a button press during game runtime to Use an outside Script or Programming Language. *
------ If you want more versatility and power in your loops this could be the way to go.
I'm really just guessing on this one as I haven't actually tried it yet. Use of .ini's or arrays may be needed for some of this <shrugs>
Edit: well, I have used 3, but only to run a magnification script during gameplay, never used it for loops as of yet

I'm sure there are plenty of articles you could search for that would help you. You can also do a search in the downloads for open source. That will give you a basic idea of different ways to approach movements, and then you can create your own.
