GM:S 1.4 Debug error pls

Pls debug what mistake I have made i the code below and what best can be done:

//inside step event
var inst;

if (mouse_check_button_pressed(mb_left) and inst = collision_point(mouse_x, mouse_y, fruit = fruitguess, true, true));
{
points += 1

script_execute = scr_draw_obj1;
script_execute = scr_draw_obj2;

}

all help is appreciated,

The way you use = is invalid.
If you use = inside an if statement, then it will be treated as a comparison, not as an assignment.
The same goes for using = inside an argument expression of a function.
And assigning a script to script_execute is invalid as well, you should rather use: scr_draw_obj1(...);

 

Let's be absolutely honest here, do you even understand what you just wrote?

• Why are you trying to initialize inst in the middle of an if condition?
• What kind of object/instance ID is fruit = fruitguess?
• Why are you attempting to run scripts like this when the Manual clearly instructs otherwise?

Quit the blind trial-and-error and read the Manual entries on basic GML form, then follow its instructions instead of making up nonsense in panic. If you are too panicked to think straight, put the keyboard down until you can. If it doesn't make sense to another human, it can only make less sense to a parser.

 

In the future it's helpful if you explain why you want code debugged. Did your game crash? Did it freeze? Did you get an error? Did something happen you didn't expect? When you have errors that's the first thing you need to share.
