GameMaker Declaring Variables

[Neptune]

Is it possible to create an instance of an object, and also declare instance variables within it?

 

[Pixelated_Pope]

Simple answer: yes.

with(instance_create(x,y,object))
{
  variable1=5;
  variable2=10;
}

But things get a bit tricky if you want to do something IN your create event with those numbers you are setting. The full create event goes off before you get a chance to set any variables.

 

[Daniel Jackson]

use a with block on instance_create and declare the variables inside it.
If the create event needs the variables, use a user-event instead and call that from the with block after setting the variables.
