Deactivate Certain Instances Outside of View

[DerpedUpCow]

I need a way to deactivate the instances of my obj_light that are outside of the view, but leave the ones in my view activated for optimization.

Check out the region functions (instance_deactivate_region etc)

The region functions don't help me, I have controllers and other objects in the room that I don't want deactivated.

with obj_light if outside view instance_deactivate_object(id,0)

Another version, have an "outside view" event in the object with this code inside:

instance_deactivate_object(id,0)

Thanks, but how would I reactivate that object if it went back into the view?

You can have your main character or something activating a region (dimension of the view) every step or so.
