Question - Code Instance_Create_Depth Small Issue

[_Why]

Why doesnt instancec_create_depth(x, y, o_example, 0); throw an error?

I thought GMS2 was just spitting out the wrong object for whatever reason. It wasnt until after I checked the manual that I realized that I got the depth and object variables switched.

A small issue for sure, would be nice to have though. (Atleast for me.)

try:
show_debug_message(string(o_example))
and you will get the output (just an example. You will get another number )
56

All objects, sprites, sounds, paths, instance id, data structures....
is just numbers (reals)

so you just tell gms2 this:
instancec_create_depth(10, 10, 56, 0);
And thats all ok. The "0" that is the object is the first object in the project.

 

[gnysek]

instance_create_depth(x, y, depth, obj);

depth first, then object.

 

[Terminator_Pony]

instance_create_depth(x, y, depth, obj);

depth first, then object.

... It wasnt until after I checked the manual that I realized that I got the depth and object variables switched.

This is a logic-error, and would only throw an error if you used a 'depth' that was an invalid object index (ie. -10). As the first reply said, objects are indexed as numbers, so everything is working as it should. You can even use object indexes for x, y.
