Legacy GM Target specific object used in if statement

[Guest User 1]

I have some collision code:

if( x + 16 >= obj_platform.x - 16
 && x - 16 <= obj_platform.x + 16
 && y + 16 >= obj_platform.y - 8
 && y - 16 <= obj_platform.y + 8 ) {
    y = obj_platform.y - 24 ;
    vel_y *= -1 ;
    vel_y -= 1 ;
    obj_platform.vel_y -= vel_y ;
};

How do I have that last line affect ONLY the instance that would trigger the if statement? Will "other" work?

with obj_platform
    if other.x + 16 >= x - 16
    && other.x - 16 <= x + 16
    && other.y + 16 >= y - 8
    && other.y - 16 <= y + 8 {
        other.y = y - 24 ;
        other.vel_y = -other.vel_y;
        other.vel_y -= 1;
        vel_y -= other.vel_y ;
    }

with obj_platform
    if other.x + 16 >= x - 16
    && other.x - 16 <= x + 16
    && other.y + 16 >= y - 8
    && other.y - 16 <= y + 8 {
        other.y = y - 24 ;
        other.vel_y = -other.vel_y;
        other.vel_y -= 1;
        vel_y -= other.vel_y ;
    }

Thanks... again
