GML I have an issue with if(image_index = x)

[hana0rain]

This is a collision event

if (image_index == 19 or image_index == 38)
{
    healthManager_Obj.playerHealth -= healthManager_Obj.maxHealth * 0.1;
    hera_Obj.image_blend = $FF0000FF & $ffffff;
    hera_Obj.image_alpha = ($FF0000FF >> 24) / $ff;
    hera_Obj.alarm[0] = 0.25 * room_speed;
}

this code works at image_index = 19 but not in 38, doesn't make a difference if I separate them or if I get rid of image_index = 19 one completely. Some weird reason same code same rules won't work at the other image_index.

What do you do to change the image_index? If what you are doing is skipping 2 image_index per step, then it may be that the value exceeds the desired number (19 and 38). I haven't tested it, but you can try this:

if (image_index >= 19 or image_index >= 38)
{
    healthManager_Obj.playerHealth -= healthManager_Obj.maxHealth * 0.1;
    hera_Obj.image_blend = $FF0000FF & $ffffff;
    hera_Obj.image_alpha = ($FF0000FF >> 24) / $ff;
    hera_Obj.alarm[0] = 0.25 * room_speed;
}

@FoxyOfJungle That would just make it activate so long as the index is at least 19.

Try checking a floored value. Maybe, as Foxy was stating, it is just being skipped, and possibly due to not being equal to exactly 38.

}

sprite animation is playing on loop at 10 frame speed. I am not really doing anything to skip it. The code you gave works actually but of course it executes multiple times.

edit: image index = 40 works I guess I'll just type that if I can't make it 38. Thank you

Have you tried just rounding it? There's a known issue with image_index (and frankly, most integers in Game Maker) where even though you store an integer, it comes out as a tiny fraction off from that number. This includes the automatic increment of image_index.
