I have a function to create a textbox object and set it values but the create event runs before that. this is the function code:
text_obj = instance_create(0, 0, obj_character_text);
text_obj.text = text;
text_obj.face = face;
text_obj.name = name;
and this is the create event:
current_text_index = 0;
current_text = string_char_at(text, current_text_index);
alarm[0] = 5;
How can I get the create event to run after the variables have been set?
instance_create
runs the Create event before returning, so variables assigned afterwards would not be set as of the Create event running.
I have an old blog post about the matter; the easiest is to store your desired init in a global variable, suppose
global.character_text_init = { text: text, face: face, name: name };
and in Create
var init = global.character_text_init;
global.character_text_init = undefined; // so that we get a clean error if we forget
text = init.text;
face = init.face;
name = init.name;
// ...
