Why doesn't this function call work as expected?

Hi. I'm at a loss here. I have used functions in a similar way before so I'm not sure if I'm missing something here or doing something completely wrong or is this a bug.

Maybe it just needs some fresh eyes.

So, version 1 works, the sprite is spawned as expected.

Version 2 doesn't work, the object is spawned somewhere outside the canvas (0,0 perhaps).

Any ideas?

It's cause you use Wait 0.02 with a function parameter/local variable.

At the moment your create triggers the function has been already over and the function param isn?t given any more. The only ways I know are to use global or instance variables.

Eg. grand Starry 2 instance variables(functionX, functionY)

+ repeat 7 times

-- create object starry

-- set Stary.functionX to Funtion.Param(0)

-- set Stary.functionY to Funtion.Param(1)

-- Wait 0,02*loopindex

-- Set position starry(starry.functionX, starry.functionY)

Genius! I would never have thought of that. Still, I thought function parameters are passed immediately no matter what and stay there, as in normal programming.

I'll use variables to get around this, thanks!
