I received the following error I'm working on an "aim/view" system that extends the view of the camera in relation to where the player is facing and if the player presses the aim key (aim_key = gamepad_button_check(0, gp_shoulderlb)) (if the player is facing left, the camera moves vertically...

hello. So i have my guy standing with his standing animation. then when i press 'T' i want him to attack using the following: instance_change(obj_player_hit, false); But when the instance changes, the animation doesn't start from the first frame. It starts from the frame of the previous...

Hi, there's a GMS2 bug which I am dealing with here. https://bugs.yoyogames.com/view.php?id=27963. Here is the thread where this originated from. It's a year old so you can imagine I'm a bit peeved that it still hasn't been fixed either...

In my game it has several obj_enemy instances. There is another object called obj_vision that is supposed to follow the enemy around. There is one obj_vision per obj_enemy. I cannot do jump to obj_enemy.x/y per step because that would cause all the obj_visions to go to 1 obj_enemy. So I gave all...

Hey! I already submited a bug report for this, but I haven't got a response in a while (I think?) so I'm trying my luck here. After updating to the last GMS2 version this message started appearing while compiling, which says: "Reference to object isn't stablished as an instance of an object"...

Hello, Seems that the function layer_instance_get_instance is not defined neither for the HTML5 export, Test and Debug. I've created a simple example with nothing except a call of this function and I get the same error. How come this function does not exist in HTML5? Should I file a bug...

I have a program when an obj_pawn move (when key released) on one square towards wall and when obj_pawn is next to wall it will destroy and then when i released a key the obj_pawn respawns again and do the same thing again. So, I have an object of obj_pawn and it works great. But when i create...

So someone asked a question on reddit about instances following the individual object that creates them. If you look at the posted solution, it works perfectly but I don't understand why. Here's what they wrote: Haven't been programming for long so I don't understand the "inst.creator"...

Hello! I would like to remove the Step Event for some objects during run time (i.e, while playing the game) via code, is it possible? For example, let's say I have an object with Step Event defined in IDE. Then I run the game, start playing, an instance of that object is created, and later I...

I have a problem with creating intances of an object. I need to move instance to the wall (after key released) then this instance should destroy. After destroing when i realesed a key (again) it shoul be placed into its first position and then repeat this action again. The problem is in not...

I have created a bunch of instances, I want to know how I would know if I clicked it because position_meeting() would activate all of them. It's a pretty simple problem but I haven't been able to find any answer anywhere.

Hey! This is my first post on the forum so I'll try to be as clear as possible! I'm creating a digital version of the board game "battleship" for a coding class at my high school; however, I've run into some issues trying to get my grid to detect when an object is within a specific square. I...

Hello guys! I'm working on a prototype and I've reached a moment where I'd like to create some objects on a Instance Layer. I called "instance_create_layer" and got what I wanted. But since I have more than one thing that will be "dynamically instantiated" I ran into a problem. When calling...

Hey guys, so I have a state machine of sorts. When the player character moves from one 48 pixel cell to another, global var EnemyTurn turns from 0 to 1 and makes the enemy randomly move a cell with this script: ob_enemy.dirr = choose(0, 48, -48) ob_enemy.dirr2 = choose(0, 48, -48) with...

I want to edit each instances variables depending on factors. I would also like a way to identify them so I can delete specific instances. Anyone know how to do this?

Hello everyone! I made pause system, everything works well. I have sliders (for game options) as individual objects and when I create them with instance_create I don't see any sliders. Without pause sliders created well. Is there way to create active object when game is paused (I use...

Hey, is there any way how to get that instance name from the room editor? "inst_something" by default. I'm trying to edit some things in game - for visual aid, save them to a file and load back once game is restarted. Now I can't store instance's id as this may vary between game runs so the...

Hello, In my game, I initialise 9 markers using instance_create(), and store them in an array. Later, this array is accessed by another object in order to retrieve a random object from the array, but the game crashes, and returns the following error: Pop :: Execution Error - Variable...

Hi, I encountered an issue with my game after I tried to change the way my pausing works... Previously I created a screenshot sprite and deactivated all Instances but reactivated some controller objects... Now I tried to implement an Inventory and for that I refactored it to...
