Error : gml_Object_obj_asteroid_CollisionEvent_0_1(12) : malformed with statement

Go and check your 'obj_asteroid' Collision event for a malformed 'with' statement.

 

[amp987]

what is a malformed with statement
Here is my picture of my objects in my obj_asteroid object which one do i choose to check the code for?

What's your Studio version? I feel like it should be giving out a clearer error message.

Anyways, post code on both collision events.

 

[amp987]

My studio version is 1.4.1763
and this all my code for the collision event with obj_player
var randomangle = random(360);
var o;
o = instance_create(x,y,obj_dead_player);
o.angle = 0 + randomangle;
o = instance_create(x,y,obj_dead_player);
o.angle = 120 + randomangle;
o = instance_create(x,y,obj_dead_player);
o.angle = 240 + randomangle;

with (obj_dead_player);
{
direction = angle;
image_angle = angle;
speed = 3;
}

audio_play_sound(snd_explosion, 10, 0);
instance_create(0,0,obj_game_over);
instance_destroy();

Then this is all the code for obj_bullet

what is a malformed with statement

A malformed 'with' statement is a 'with' statement that isn't formatted / used correctly.
As you see in the code you posted - you use the keyword "with", see it in your code below.

with (obj_dead_player);
{
    direction = angle;
    image_angle = angle;
    speed = 3;
}

audio_play_sound(snd_explosion, 10, 0);
instance_create(0,0,obj_game_over);
instance_destroy();

To fix your error, remove the ';' from the end of the 'with (obj_dead_player);' line and try compiling again.

Oh my gosh thank you so so much this actually worked. Do you mind if you can help me with another problem i have?

Sure I'll do my best, but you have to try and work things out yourself as well, otherwise you never learn anything.

I'll definitely try and point you in the right direction though, what's up?

I have this error my other game its an rpg game
It says there is a error at line 31 pos 37: symbol ) expected.
/// scr_move_state
scr_get_input();

//Get the axis
var xaxis = (right_key - left_key);
var yaxis = (down_key - up_key);

// Get direction
var dir = point_direction(0, 0, xaxis, yaxis);

// Get the length
if (xaxis == 0 and yaxis = 0) {
len = 0;
} else {{
len = spd;
}
// Get the hspd and vspd
hspd = lengthdir_x(len, dir);
vspd = lengthdir_y(len, dir);

//Move
phy_position_x += hspd;
phy_position_y += vspd;

// Control the sprite
image_speed = .2;
if (len == 0) image_index =0;

// Vertical Sprites
if (vspd > 0) (
sprite_index = spr_player_down;
) else if (vspd < 0) (
sprite_index = spr_player_up;
)

// Horizontal sprites
if (hspd > 0) (
sprite_index = spr_player_right;
) else if (hspd < 0) (
sprite_index = spr_player_left;

Being new to coding doesn't mean you get a free pass to write code without proofreading it.

Here you clearly have one extra brace:

} else {{

And here you are using brackets instead of braces to enclose code blocks, and the last block is still open:

// Vertical Sprites
if (vspd > 0) (
sprite_index = spr_player_down;
) else if (vspd < 0) (
sprite_index = spr_player_up;
)

// Horizontal sprites
if (hspd > 0) (
sprite_index = spr_player_right;
) else if (hspd < 0) (
sprite_index = spr_player_left;

If you've learned anything from the tutorial you copied all this from, it should be pretty obvious at this point what you should do.

 

[amp987]

Thank you so so much it actually worked and I fixed it i put the braces in the right spots and I just learned something new.

Dude come on.
You can clearly read because you are replying to people in this thread - read what it says.

It clearly tells you what the error is, what line the error is on, what character position within that line the error is at, and even what character it expects to find there.

You may be new to coding but that doesn't stop you from being able to read and follow simple clear instructions in the error message.
