Okay I have a code that finds the nearest instance for around 180 different points.
I'm using codes: for() + variables + instance_nearest()

In result each step it should create a variable and that variable finds the nearest instance to the indicated point in the for() code.

Here is the code:

Spoiler

for(i1=0; i1<15; i1+=1) //This checks the x part of a point
{
 for(i2=0; i2<12; i2+=1)//This checks the y part of a point
{
li[ i1 , i2 ]=instance_nearest(x1[ i1 ] , y1[ i2 ] , Obj_Light)
}
}

Here is the reference:

//This is just to inform you of the variables being used here...
li is the variable holding the nearest instance
i1 is the number of the point on the list of 180 points. Its used on identifying the x1 variable.
i2 is the number of the point on the list of 180 points. Its used on identifying the y1 variable.
x1[i1] is the x-point with its indicated number.
y1[i2] is the y-point with its indicated number.

Now instead of it finding the nearest instance for each point, it only finds the LAST instance for the LAST point and I don't know why.

- What is the "instance_nearest" code?
- What is the code around this, how is this called (What you do with li[], where you initialize x1[] & y1[]).


There 3 lines of code give little indication.

@paul23: Um...instance_nearest(...) is built in to GM...

@FatalSleep: It looks like it should work fine. Are you sure that the instance closest to the last point isn't also the instance closest to every other point? And how are you checking it? Make sure you're checking the right array indexes for li[], which should go from li[0, 0] to li[14, 11]...

IMP I wanna give you a hug!!!! It creates the blocks I need at the right points, but the positions being checked for are not at the right points at all!!! They are set at 0,0.... :/
I wanna give you a hug.

I am pretty experienced with gml and I feel rather... noobish to forget to do such a simple thing.
