SOLVED: Scaling a created object

[Shizuky]

Hi , I wanted to create an object in room but I want it to be bigger and tried it with this code: instance_create_layer(320,320,"Text",oPlayer){
image_xscale=3
image_yscale=3
}


I thought it will scale the object to be bigger when created but the oPlayer is still same.
How could I make it bigger when created?

Put a with in front of that

2 ways:
Like TheouAegis said: Using "with"

with(instance_create_layer(320, 320, "Text", oPlayer))
{
    image_xscale = 3;
    image_yscale = 3;
}

or using "."

var player_object = instance_create_layer(320, 320, "Text", oPlayer);
player_object.image_xscale = 3;
player_object.image_yscale = 3;

I tried both and it doesn't seems to be working.
I have it like this:
[ case quest.pat:
i++;
with(oPlayerIntro){
var inst = instance_place(x,y,inst_673366E4);
if (inst != noone and !instance_exists(obj_textbox)){
with(inst){
show_debug_message("INTROOO")
room_goto(room17);
instance_destroy(inst);
instance_destroy(oPlayerIntro);
var player_object = instance_create_layer(320, 320, "Text", oPlayer);
player_object.image_xscale = 3;
player_object.image_yscale = 3;
}
}
}]

You have room_goto in the code, so it doesn't matter what the code does, because you'll be switching room afterwards and everything will be in the state presented by target room's editor view.

(Remember that a room change runs after currently running event ends, not in the middle of code.)

Is there a way to create a larger oPlayer and still go to a room? Or I need to rethink it completely to create it sooner?

 

[NightFrost]

You need to message the next room somehow about player size. This could be accomplished through A) set a global variable that is checked in player create, B) have a persitent control object do player spawning as one of its duties (room start event), and before room change set a variable on it to modify player size, or C) make player persistent, but this may be troublesome as it then brings all of its current states to next room (including its position).
