Dear community,

I have trouble with a gmk-file.
I create one object - its always the same. And after few time - absolute randomly - the variable "level" is unknown. Then there is no way to solve the problem.
if I use:

if !variable_local_exists("level") level = 0

, the variable will be deleted in the next step. And i have no idea what happens.
If I try to export the GMK Data, and import it again, all variables are unknown (all local, and all global, absolutely all)
Its like a big worm inside of the project file, what destroy the game while running.

I use the Game Maker since 2006, and it's not the first time, I have a problem like this. But the last time I could solve the problem with export > import.
This time it seems all work i had with my project was in vain

Have someone a hint for me?
Please don't ask me for the project file.

This is so weird. This happens to me too. I think it's some kind of Game maker bug...


But try this instead:

if !variable_local_exists("level") {level = 0;}

or

if (!variable_local_exists("level")) {variable_local_set("level",0);}

Sometimes doesn't Game maker really get the code and gets confused.
I hope it works, and I would really like to hear how this problem gets solved.

Wow, thanks, it seems to work.
Its like the game maker did not interpreted my code
I'll report, if i have similar problems.

Are you sure you haven´t declared the variablw with "var" elsewhere?
