GameMaker Teleport to object

[Elian]

I need that when a key is pressed on the keyboard(Esc), the player teleports to the desired object...
Help please, I don't know what code to use for this(

 

[Tyg]

On your keypress code

Player.x = Target.x;
Player.y = Target.y;

Target can be another objects x,y
or just use a hard coded number

Player.x = 450;

 

[Elian]

On your keypress code

Player.x = Target.x;
Player.y = Target.y;

Target can be another objects x,y
or just use a hard coded number

Player.x = 450;

what about create event of target?

what about create event of target?

What about it? You haven't said that anything else should happen. Tyg's code will work perfectly (for just teleporting).

The problem is nothing happens:

Obj_player.x = Obj_shield.x;
Obj_player.y = Obj_shield.y;

Use the debugger or show_debug_message() to determine why "nothing happens".

maybe your object doesnt exist
you should put
if object exists
where are you puting the code?

Yes, the object exists in the world
Code... obj_player -> key down escape (event) ->
Obj_player.x = Obj_shield.x;
Obj_player.y = Obj_shield.y;

1) Are you sure that an instance of Obj_shield exists?
2) Are there no typos (e.g. obj_ instead of Obj_)?
3) Is there no other code that sets player's x and y (e.g. in the step event)?

Code... obj_player -> key down escape (event) ->
Obj_player.x = Obj_shield.x;
Obj_player.y = Obj_shield.y;

If you placed it in the obj_player's Key Down (ESC) event, then you can just code it;

x = obj_shield.x;
y = obj_shield.y;

Though I'd suggest placing it in Key Pressed (ESC) instead. And make sure that obj_shield has been placed in the room where the obj_player will be. And I think you'd also might want to have obj_player placed on a layer above obj_shield otherwise it'd be hidden behind it - then again depends how you want it to look. If in certain rooms there isn't going to be any obj_shield, then to avoid causing error should someone press ESC, you can also do this;

if instance_exists(obj_shield) {
    x = obj_shield.x;
    y = obj_shield.y;
}

If you're using GMS2.v.2.3.1.xxx, you can download this .yyz file and open it on your IDE : https://www118.zippyshare.com/v/9zF87Kio/file.html
If you press ESC, the player will move to the target position.
