How do I make enemies drop items?

[gamer3192]

I tried to make an enemy drop an item on death but I just did:
if (hp <=0)
instance create(x,y,obj_drop)

That did not work. So if anyone knows how to do this or knows a video on YouTube that explains this please let me know.

You might want to consider moving the code which creates the dropped item to the destroy event of the enemy.

Not sure what the best way is, but I'll be looking into this soon myself.
I wonder if instance_change is a good option (in your step event for the enemy).

if (hp <=0)
{
instance_change(x,y,obj_drop)
}

You would need to code the end stop as well, but use another if statement.

if instance_exists(obj_drop)
{
type your end step code etc...
}

I put it in the destroy event and it worked. Thanks
