GameMaker So GameMaker decided a function is a local variable. I can't Even.

so this is the code: leading up to the error

/// @description Draw
var xx = __view_get( e__VW.XView, 0 ),
yy = __view_get( e__VW.YView, 0 ),
ww = __view_get( e__VW.WView, 0 ),
hh = __view_get( e__VW.HView, 0 ),
alpha = min(screenFade,obj_Main.screenfade);
draw_background_tiled_ext(bg_Title,scr_round(xx),scr_round(yy),1,1,c_white,alpha);
var space = 16;
draw_set_font(GUIFont);
draw_set_color(c_white);

Why? I really have no idea.

What error? Where is the compiler output saying anything there is an error?
Or are you just saying because the bottom bar turned dark red? That had been know to happen on occasion, but does not actually throw any error or block the compile from working.
Please explain what you are having a problem with as it is not clear from that bit of code, or the screenshot you provided.

You probably have USA spelling turned off in the options. Turn it on or spell the word as colour.

 

[ApselTheBlue]

I'll try that.
also

I am having an issue with the game compiling as well. I just tried reinstalling game maker. Testing results now. I figured this was the issue since it shows up as a syntax error.​

 

[ApselTheBlue]

I don't actually get an error message. It just says Run Program Failed. If it happens again I'll post that as well

Yup

Where is the top part of the output? There is normally a lot more than that, and the last person that had a FAILED: Run Program Complete at the end of the compile had not spotted the error further up the output. Can you show us the whole of the output, not just the end of it?

 

[ApselTheBlue]

It was pretty long so I figured posting all of it wouldn't be a good idea but ok. Ill have to open the game again

 

[ApselTheBlue]

Update: I tried reloading the project. As it turns out, it somehow got corrupted. Luckily, I had a backup. It seems that the error I brought up wasn't the culprit though I do think that it should be addressed. It's rather irksome.
