(SOLVED) Taking variable from repeated instance to global

[Adriano_ppaula]

Hey guys ^^
I need help with my game.

I'll put a simple example here:
I am making an item system in which when the player selects an item he verifies some information about it.

global.item_select = (ob_item_sword_01);
atk = global.item_select.atk;
lv = global.item_select.lv;

The problem happens when I have two objects repeated, I'm not able to use the instance_id for this case

How does the player select these items in the first place?

How does the player select these items in the first place?

Sorry, the player access the item by mouse_left_pressed
then an item description window appears.

Um, just to clear up one thing, usually one would use the instance id, but instance_id is an array containing every id, so those two are not the same.

Also, what is the problem?

 

[TheouAegis]

global.item_select = (ob_item_sword_01);

global.item_select = instance_position(mouse_x,mouse_y, item_parent_object).object_index

Or just, in the left_mouse_pressed event for the item, global.item_select = self

Thank you worked here for me ^^

In the case I created the same variable in the window object and put self
Thank you for your help!!!

Just as a note, instead of using self it's generally always better to use id, as self is only really still a thing in GML for legacy support reasons.
