This basic video tutorial shows you an easy way how to make a sniper in gamemaker studio.

How is this done?
You only need to understand that the sniper has 2 phases in which he will toggle. Enemy out of range or enemy in range. When the enemy is in range you have 2 cooldown timers. The first one simply is a reload timer so the sniper cannot constantly fire. The second one is when the sniper can fire the needs to lock on to a target where you can draw a red line symbolizing his current state. For all those mechanics you basically only need two position variables, first the sniper x and y plus the nearest target x and y. Here you only draw the red line when the sniper is locking on/targeting an instance.
