[SOLVED]Alarm triggered by unknown source

[LV154]

An alarm instructing the player object to destroy itself is being triggered by an unknown process. I was wondering whether there is any way to trace back where the command comes from by replacing the instance_destroy command with a return function? Are there any debug methods that address this at all?

What version of GM? You've tagged this as "legacy", but is it 8.1 or below, or 1.4? The 1.4 debugger is far better than the 8.1 one and you can use it to step through the code and see where things are going wrong... You can also do a search through your code find where you set the alarm (just search for "alarm[0]" or whatever alarm it is and see what you have that sets it).

A quick way to check is to delete the alarm. Wait for the error to show up and it should reveal what line the code is calling from.
Just add the alarm back in when you've found it.

Gamemaker 8.1. I will never understand why the debugger was dumbed down so much.

*facepalm*
It was that simple! Thanks for the help
