variable

Hello everybody ! I have a question about good practices in programing : when you want to change an object's variable, do you use "with" or "my_object.my_variable" ? the two ways seem to work : with(Obj_Player) { my_variable_health = 10 ; } ; or Obj_Player.my_variable_health = 10; Which...

Is it possible to not only watch a variable for changes but when it does change, show you the line of code that caused it to change? This would be invaluable knowledge if it's possible. Thanks in advance.

(I'm only a few days into using GML, but I have other programming experience) Alright, basically I have a very simple button/door system. What I do is, I make a door's ID "door1", and corresponding button with "button1", which is fine. But apparently I can't use the same ID's between different...

So these variables aren't being recognized by the IDE for some reason, even though I am using them two lines afterward. I tried restarting the IDE and reloading the project but that didn't fix it unfortunately. My guess is that this is a bug related to the new warning system but i'm not sure.

Hello, I'll try to explain what I mean, but I have a Input Object (o_input) that has all the controls for the character like: action_one_pressed_ = gamepad_button_check_pressed(xbox_controller, gp_face1) or keyboard_check_pressed(ord("D")); action_two_pressed_ =...

Hi! Long story short. My strategy game has multiple 'unit' objects stored under 3 parents: player1_par, player2_par, and cpu_par. The parents are all supposed to attack one another, so that player1_par's children objects attack player2_par and cpu_par, and so on. I can store both the player...

Hi guys, I'm making a space trading and top down simulation game similar along the lines of the Patrician series and somewhere along the code I've run into an issue I'm quite unable to solve by myself. Most of code structure is established by now and all it's left is to assign resource transfer...
