get_instance_x

Returns the x value of the specified instance. Used for referencing objects that you normally don’t have access to.

Example, called from article1_update.gml:

// destroys the article when it’s within Clairen’s plasma field:
with (asset_get( "plasma_field_obj" )) {
with (other.id) {
if (point_distance(
x + 10 * spr_dir,
y,
get_instance_x( other ),
get_instance_y( other )
) < 180) {
instance_destroy();
}
}
}
