called from - gml_GlobalScript_1 (line 1) - __global_object_depths()

It is always stuck on the first object from the resource tree.
It is a project imported from 1.4, however, I could run it other times, this error just appears now for no reason.
The window: Made with gamemaker appears, then the error pops up. What can it be? There are not many objects in the game right now, most of them are unused. if I delete imported objects from GM 1.4 will this error be fixed? It has something to do with imported depths of objects from GM 1.4.

Thanks.

This is where the stuck is, at the end of all:

// Initialise the global array that allows the lookup of the depth of a given object
// GM2.0 does not have a depth on objects so on import from 1.x a global array is created
// NOTE: MacroExpansion is used to insert the array initialisation at import time

HI there!

It is a project imported from 1.4, however, I could run it other times, this error just appears now for no reason.

So, you've imported it previously and it worked, or you've imported it AND edited it and it was working? If you've edited it then it could be that somewhere you've mucked up the way the compatibility scripts work... in which case you should look at a previous saved versions of the project and compare them with the current versions and try and undo the edit that caused this.

However, if this has started happening on a clean import of a 1.4 project you should file a bug report. You will need to supply a download link to the GMZ file being imported and include it in the report (you can request that the report be flagged as private so the project is not shared publicly).

PS: If it's an edited project you can still file a bug if you are sure that it is not related to something you have changed and rather it is related to the latest IDE or Runtime update.

I have imported it from 1.4, edited it and worked. After more editing I started getting this error. However it seems to work again after:
- I deleted that whole compatibility script about depths.
- I deleted many objects from 1.4 that were unused since this is kind of a fresh project, however I didn´t delete them all so I guess this had no effect. But the little objects that are left I can recreate them in the new Gamemaker, they are not that many.
- I ran the game. It worked.
- It crashed after I called the old function 'Instance_create'
- I changed all 'instance_create' calls for 'instance_create_at_depth'
- It works now with no problem, but I don´t know when it will fail again. I guess things that have something to do with depths should be replaced to be adapted to the new layer system. For now, only 'instance_create' was in my project

 

[gnysek]

If you add a new object, you need to add it to "global.__objectDepths" and "global.__objectNames" table, or cannot use instace_create() function for it (as it's not built-in function, but a compatibility script).

Instance_Create() is removed from GMS2, as it have layers instead of depths, so instance_create_layer() is a proper function. You can use instance_create_depth() also, but when you add new layers to your room, you cannot be sure the depth you given will be good, as layer depths will be reordered. They can be changed to manually set, but still - there is a big field for errors.

I have a big project converted from GM 1.4 (which is in fact converted from GM8 too), and it still works after 4 months with GMS2, being aware of what compatibility scripts do.


PS: for future, can you "cut" unneded data from you error log (as we already see it's a table, so middle of it can be replaced with ...) or wrap it into [ code ] tags ?

Ok, it is much clearer now, thanks.
