Hey, so I am new to Game Maker 2 and following a tutorial to try and create my own fan game, however I seem to have hit a barrier. To convey the effect of a hallway light turning on I have created an instance of a Darkness object in the room and then made it so that left clicking the light switch destroys that instance. So far so good, however I am attempting to have another instance of darkness be created once the light switch is released yet the "Create Instance" tool seems to do absolutely nothing in that regard. I've tried making left released its own event, I've tried incorporating it into left pressed via "If Mouse Released" and "If Mouse Down" not. I've tried connecting it to previously mentioned "If Mouse" tools in different positions. I'm probably just missing something obvious since I am new and I am following a tutorial for Game Maker 1. Any suggestions welcome.

Update: Sorry for others in the future with the same struggle but i endlessly messed around with stuff, absentmindedly (while texting) at the end since I expected it to fail and whatever I did seemed to almost work. I have no idea what I did

Update 2: I have repeatedly tried it out, whatever I did worked 100%. I need to replicate this as well so I will get back to you if I find out.

Final Update: What I did was create a new instance layer in the room and then assign the create instance to that layer
