I am getting this error and i want to know why

[BeeVeelutions]

So i made an object for when an enemy calls for another enemy to spawn in combat, but for some reason, when the enemy tries to use this move, i get this error message

The erroring code is looking for (and failing to find a resource called) "objEnemyPar", though, not "EnemyPar". That seems like the issue here. (If not, some other typo seems like the issue here.)

trying to create an instance of an object that does not exist?

id say doublecheck your code and your objects ..sounds like a typo error to me..

[The Winter Bud]

 e[1] = instance_create(25+v_offset, 120, global.enemy[1]).id;

instance_create() returns an id so there is no need for (.id) at the end of it
and if you are referencing an object id the instance_create() function wants and index so you would supply it with an object index of the selected object.
maybe you meant

e[1] = instance_create(25+v_offset,120,global.enemy[1].object_index);

or just simply

e[1] = instance_create(25+v_offset,120,global.enemy[1]);

Depends on what you're storing in 'global.enemy[x]'

Ok so i took a closer look at the code but i dont know what i did wrong so i will post the code of the areas that are being called by the code.

for (var i=1;i<6;i++) {
e = 0
}

switch global.en_count {
case 1:
e[1] = instance_create(160+v_offset,120,global.enemy[1]);
dropenemy = e[1];
break;
case 2:
e[1] = instance_create(102+v_offset,120,global.enemy[1]);
e[2] = instance_create(218+v_offset,120,global.enemy[2]);
dropenemy = choose(e[1],e[2]);
break;
case 3:
e[1] = instance_create(160+v_offset,120,global.enemy[1]);
e[2] = instance_create(80+v_offset,96,global.enemy[2]);
e[3] = instance_create(240+v_offset,96,global.enemy[3]);
dropenemy = choose(e[1],e[2],e[3]);
break;
case 4:
e[1] = instance_create(25+v_offset,120,global.enemy[1]);
e[2] = instance_create(115+v_offset,120,global.enemy[2]);
e[3] = instance_create(205+v_offset,120,global.enemy[3]);
e[4] = instance_create(295+v_offset,120,global.enemy[4]);
dropenemy = choose(e[1],e[2],e[3],e[4]);
break;
case 5:
e[1] = instance_create(160+v_offset,130,global.enemy[1]);
e[2] = instance_create(100+v_offset,86,global.enemy[2]);
e[3] = instance_create(220+v_offset,86,global.enemy[3]);
e[4] = instance_create(40+v_offset,130,global.enemy[4]);
e[5] = instance_create(280+v_offset,130,global.enemy[5]);
dropenemy = choose(e[1],e[2],e[3],e[4],e[5]);
break;
}

for (var i=1;i<6;i++) {
global.enemy = e
}

This is what is being called by the next set of code, this one just calls enemies into combat by seeing how many of the enemies collide with the player

if random(256) < 205 and instance_number(objEnPar) < 5 {
if global.en_count < 5 {
global.en_count++;
}
var list;
list = ds_list_create();

if global.enemy[1] = 0 { ds_list_add(list,1); }
if global.enemy[2] = 0 { ds_list_add(list,2); }
if global.enemy[3] = 0 { ds_list_add(list,3); }
if global.enemy[4] = 0 { ds_list_add(list,4); }
if global.enemy[5] = 0 { ds_list_add(list,5); }

global.enemy[ds_list_find_value(list, 0)] = (instance_create(irandom_range(32,288),irandom_range(64,144),choose(help_enemy1,help_enemy2,help_enemy3)))
global.totalexp += global.enemy[ds_list_find_value(list, 0)].e_exp
a.str[0] = upper(global.enemy[ds_list_find_value(list, 0)].e_art)+global.enemy[ds_list_find_value(list, 0)].e_name+" joined the battle!";
ds_list_destroy(list);

And this is the one that is trying to see if there are any free slots for an enemy to join in midcombat

verable was not set or a possible on of ( are missing or doubled

these following reason that error comes


error example

(( hello)

note it has 2 left one right
or

(hello

one missing

spelling error

vereble not set or not spelled to match that object
