Legacy GM DS_List returning empty value

[PhenomenalDev]

I am trying to make a collection of objects be created in order and given a text value however future objects after the first object spawned are empty.

Create:
list = ds_list_create();
ds_list_add(list, "Carrot");
ds_list_add(list, "Onion");
ds_list_add(list, "Tomato");
ds_list_add(list, "Cabbage");

alarm[0] = irandom_range(room_speed,room_speed*2);

Alarm[0]:
x=instance_create(x,y+(irandom_range(0,room_height)),objMovingWord)
x.text=list[|0]
ds_list_delete(list,0)
alarm[0] = irandom_range(room_speed,room_speed*2);

You create a new list and store its handle in ingredients.

There is no further mention of ingredients in your code, only list.

Ah that was a typo; Adjusted it but still get the issue.

Adding to what TsukaYuriko said, you are also saving the new instance to an instance variable named x, but x is a built-in variable. Use a local variable instead, maybe with another name for clarity.
Also, you never stop removing items from the list if the list is empty, which is definitely a problem.

Assigning to x was my issue. That fixed it thanks.
