Assigning Variable To Created Instance'S Id from spawner object

[Kapser1]

I create an instance from a spawner object and try to set variables to the id of the instance. Since GM removed the function 'treat unitialized variables as 0', I need to set that variable in the object's create event.

However, it seem to overwrite what I set from the spawner object. The following code works to set the direction, which is a built in variable. However, it doesn't work for the other variables I'm trying to set.

spawned = instance_create(x,y,obj_sphere_1hit)
spawned.direction = spawn_direction // works!
spawned.canturn_timer = canturn_timer //don't work grrrr!

If I don't initialize the variable in the object create event it cause the game to crash.

There's nothing wrong with that code, the create event is executed before your 2 other variables, so that isn't the issue. There must be an error somewhere else.

Thanks. There was indeed an error. Fixed!
