[SOLVED] Starting sprite based on 'type'

[Latch]

I create an item and set its type by:

with (instance_create(x,y,obj_item) {type = 1;}

Simple enough and works, however what I can't seem to fix is the very brief but obvious sprite change when it is created.

Simply put it will use the sprite I have given the object and then immediately switch to the correct sprite I defined above, how can I bypass this?

I tried changing the items create event into event user 0 and calling the item like:

with (instance_create(x,y,obj_item) {event_user(0); type = 1;}

But nothing changed.

with (instance_create(x,y,obj_item)
{
    type = 1;
    sprite_index = spr_my_sprite;
}

Have you tried to change the sprite where you change the type?

That solved it, thank you
