So, I read somewhere that "other" in a collision event refers to the other object involved in the collision, specifically the INSTANCE of the other object involved.

I simply cannot get this to work right. I need an object to act according to the image_angle of the object it is colliding with. My code looks something like this:

if collision_point(x,y,obj_example,true,true)
    {
        hspeed+=lengthdir_x(1,other.image_angle)
        vspeed+=lengthdir_y(1,other.image_angle)
    }

But other.image_angle just seems to keep spitting out a value of 0.

What am I doing wrong?

that isnt a "collision event", you would need to use

with(collision_point(x,y,obj_example,true,true)){
hspeed+=lengthdir_x(1,other.image_angle)
vspeed+=lengthdir_y(1,other.image_angle)
}

//i may be wrong but i read that with statements without a valid object(ie. the collision point doesnt collide) will not run and wont error, so i didnt put obj=collision_point(x,y,obj_example,true,true); and if(obj){with.......}

collision events in there self are the built in ones that happen precisely between 2 objects
