Mac OSX Runner crashes when instance is destroyed in collosion using while (other)

[Denis Elias]

Hi
I'm new to GML.
What I try to do:
My bullet object is colliding with my enemy and I want to destroy both of them.

So I added an collision event and wrote:
instance_destroy();

while (other)
{
instance_destroy();
}

The runner just stops responding.
When I use collision events in both objects with only instance_destroy(); it works as it should.
Seems that I cannot access the other object with "while"
I think I am doing something wrong here. Can someone help me??

Thanks a lot!

Use "with" instead of "while".

You're welcome.

If you didn't already know, you can middle-mouse click on any function in the Editor to open the manual page for that function. If any code is not working how you expect it to, you can quickly check the manual.
