I got 1 object (object1) with 3 instances. Every instance has in his creation code (in the room editor) a variable named wid. Object1 creates object2 with this code:

obj = instance_create(x,y,object2);
obj.wid = wid;

I have this code in the step event of object2. Object2 moves.

Object2:

if wid == object1.wid
{
if distance_to_object(object1) > 200
{
instance_destroy();
}
}

But it never destroys himself because my three instances haves a 100 pixel gap between them. I need to get the object index of the instance with the same wid.

Thank you.

I think that the problem is that object2 doesn't know what object1.wid is (you never gave object2 object1's id for it to check with).

Try this

object2 create event

variable_name = instance_nearest(x,y,object1)

object2 step event

if wid == variable_name.wid
{
if distance_to_object(object1) > 200 // you might try changing the object1 here to your variable
{
instance_destroy();
}
}
