I'm using this to detect if there is an object called obj_blue_left and seeing if there is an object to the right of it called obj_blue_right. The ID's of these objects are assigned to global.id1 and global.id2 - then once it checks that if it didnt find any global.id1 and 2 would be 0 thus ending the game.

For some reason it seems to jump right past the check and immediately see id1,2 as 0.

with (parentObject)
{
 if (global.id1 = 0)
  {
   global.idT=instance_position(x+96,y,parentObject);
      
       if global.idT
         {
            if(object_index==obj_blue_left&&global.idT.object_index==obj_blue_right)          
             {
                global.id1=id;
                global.id2=global.idT;
            }
         }
   }       

  if (global.id1 = 0) and (global.id2 = 0)
  {
    global.gameover = true;
  }

 }

Does it instantly go to the game over or does it never game over? If the first check is an instance that doesn't have a parentObject at x+96,y, you realize that it instantly game overs? If the first check does, then it won't. So it depends on what instance receives the first check.

I figured it out and will ask an admin to remove.

I moved

if (global.id1 = 0) and (global.id2 = 0)
{
global.gameover = true;
}

to a line outside the IF it was a part of and it worked.

To answer your question it was instantly saying game over, even when it wasnt.

Why would you do that? The topic can stay here, it doesn't need to be removed.
