In this tutorial I'll show you how to manipulate sprites using the DRAW event and the useful function draw_sprite_ex(). This method will save on time and effort as little manipulations don't require one to directly recreate the sprite.

Here is a quick  reference for common sprite manipulations:
Rotation: Just set the rot argument to whatever rotation you desire. Remember, negative values rotate clockwise about the origin and positives anti-clockwise.
Transparency: Just set image_alpha  to whatever amount to a value beween 0 (fully transparent) to 1 (fully opaque).
Flip Left or Right: Just set image_xscale to negative.
Flip Up or Down: Just set image_yscale to negative.
Scale: Alter image_xscale and image_yscale. A value below 1 scales down the image while a value above 1 scales up.
