Question - IDE Space rocks tutorial

[Han_emmm]

Hi there,

just tried out GameMaker today for the first time. I have been following the tutorial for space rocks.

I have been getting this error:

___________________________________________
############################################################################################
ERROR in
action number 1
of Key Press Event for <Space> Key
for object obj_ship:

Creating instance for non-existing object: -4
at gml_Object_obj_ship_KeyPress_32 (line 8) - var newBullet = instance_create_layer(x + 0, y + 0, "Instances", noone);
############################################################################################
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
stack frame is
gml_Object_obj_ship_KeyPress_32 (line 8)

does anyone know what this issue is? I'm sure I have followed everything exactly as shown in tutorial but when running the game this comes up when I press space to shoot.

Tia,
Hannah

instance_create_layer(x + 0, y + 0, "Instances", noone);

You need to use the object type that you want to create an instance of, not noone. What your line of code is trying to do is create an instance of an object that has an id of -4 (which is what noone translates into). You have to specify an object to create.

Thank you!
