Question - GML Visual Can't target temp variable on "Apply To" command

[edamiani]

Hi, I'm trying to target a newly-instanced object so I can set its speed as shown below:



If I do nothing to the "Apply To" command, it is applied to self, but when I try to apply it to inst, the variable doesn't appear as an option in the "Apply to a different instance" drop-down menu, so what should I do to correctly apply the "Set Speed command" to inst?

Thanks in advance.

You are not adding the Set Speed action to the Applies to action... If you look at the code example here you can see the difference in the way the actions are connected:

Drop the set speed action to the RIGHT of the Applies To action (just as you would for an if action).

Hi Nocturne, now it worked, thanks a bunch!

Great! I'll update that page in the manual to show how exactly to drop the actions, the same as I've done on the "if" pages too.

That would be nice, thanks!
