with command

[Master Cabalist]

Hi. I have the following code:

+

    inst = instance_create(300, 371, SentryBatWalkMap);
    with (inst)
    {
        path_start(Path53, 5, path_action_stop, 0);
        show_debug_message("Spacing myTimer:" + string(global.spacing_myTimer));
        show_debug_message("Path Position: " + string(path_position));
        path_position = global.spacing_myTimer;
        show_debug_message("Updated path_position" + string(path_position));
        path_end();
    }

I want to make the SentryBatWalkMap character to follow a path. The problem is the with(inst) i think. I keep getting an error thrown. I commented it out and then ran it again and below
path_start, the show_debug_message portion crashed. Is it because of the with(inst) when inst is an instance not an object?

(edit)

This is the error:

1. Are you using GMS before version 2? Otherwise, that instance_create() function won't be right.

2. Can you confirm that "SentryBatWalkMap" is the name of an object, correctly written?

3. If you comment out the whole part inside the brackets of the with() statement, do you still get an error? If so, is it the same?

You already have a topic about this, so I'll close this one as more than one topic discussing the same issue is not allowed.

Marching characters on map

Hi I would like a sentry bat character to travel from one spot to another on the game map. So it appears that the sentry bat appears at the last level finished and they march to the next level on the game map. This is the code: The controller (TravelMasterbk) directs the march...
