Legacy GM Trying to switch between control of three objects

[AngelofGamin]

I'm able to control both the first and third character using a variable called global.character = [number] in obj_control

but not the second character for whatever reason

I thought at first it was because global character is strictly a binary statement but i can successfully switch between 1 and 3

you may have figured it out by now but for key inputs the letter in " " must be capital.
make that a W instead of w and you should be set

Thank you. But now I feel really embarrassed.
