Lets say i have an object "testBlock" and i put it on the screen and then for the player i have standard "if place_meeting(x,y,testBlock) etc... it works. If i duplicate testBlock and rename it testIce and use the same exact code (with changes to mimic ice) i get an error "Variable objPlayer.testICE(100861, -2147483648) not set before reading it." how do i set an object (its not a variable) and its odd that i was able to create "testBlock" and it works.

Question - Code place_meeting and objects
- Thread starter Tapcodia
- Start date
That was an error in this post, in the code i copied the name of the object. Here is another test same results:
if place_meeting(x , y+1, ICEICEBABY) {
// some code
}
gives me this error
Variable objPlayer.ICEICEBABY(100861, -2147483648) not set before reading it.
at gml_Object_objPlayer_Step_0 (line 34) - if place_meeting(x , y+1, ICEICEBABY) {
############################################################################################
gml_Object_objPlayer_Step_0 (line 34)
if i change it from place_meeting to collision_line i get the same error.
Shouldn't i be able to create an object, place it in the room and then reference it by object name? Thats kinda how i see things in some other demo projects. Do i need to declare that object before referencing it?
if place_meeting(x , y+1, ICEICEBABY) {

This should work. If it doesn't, either the object name and the way you refer to it in code don't match up (you can easily verify this by typing the start of its name and filling the rest via auto-complete), or something is internally wrong. You may be able to resolve the latter by clearing the compiler cache (broom button next to the run button).
