id reference is invalid

id_master is 100035. Why did this happened? id_master != noone is not good enough?

if destroyed //boolean value
{
    instance_destroy();  
}
else
{
    if id_master != noone
    {
        x = id_master.x;  //line 19
        y = id_master.y;

        image_alpha = id_master.image_alpha;
        image_speed = id_master.image_speed;
    }
}

Instead of

if id_master != noone

try using

 if instance_exists(id_master)

no what you need is:

if(instance_exists(id_master) {


}

noone is just a special number you as the developer can use for ease of reading code.

are these two the same?

if instance_exists(id)

if (instance_exists(id))

Yes. It's just how some people format their "if" statements with brackets around everything.
