[Solved] Passing a variable into a created object?

[MCKOY]

I'm trying to make it so when a character's attack creates a hitbox, it passes a couple things into it which would be different for each character(it's team and damage). Right now, my code will work if I manually enter these figures in the hitbox creation like this.

if(can_attack == 1)
    {       
        attack_direct = point_direction(x,y, target.x, target.y)
        with(instance_create_depth(x+lengthdir_x(range, attack_direct), y+lengthdir_y(range, attack_direct), 0, obj_hbox))
        {
        team = 2
        dmg = 5           
        }

But I've tried every different way I can think of writing them as variables instead and passing them through but none work.

child = instance_create(x,y,obj_hitbox)
{
child.team = team
child.damage = damage
}

That should work.

child = instance_create(x,y,obj_hitbox)
{
child.team = team
child.damage = damage
}

That should work.

Works! Thanks a lot.
