I just came up with a theory about why people may be having this problem. Is it possible that when you assign a global struct to an instance and delete that instance, it stays associated with that instance? When you re-battle an enemy, the enemy's instance that was created has a different id to the previous instance that was destroyed.
This occurs when you re-battle an enemy, battle an enemy of the same type, or exit and re-enter the room before re-battling the enemy. Is there a way to refresh global structs to their condition at game start?
EDIT: I fixed the bug!
Instead of doing this:
global.enemies =
{
slimeG: {
name: "Slime",
I re-rote the enemies list to be more in line with the players list:
global.enemies = [
{
name: "Slime",
Instead of doing it the way Shaun had implemented it, I assigned a unique integer value to each enemy and manually assigned each enemy's name to an enumerator:
I too am running into this same issue and was wondering if you were able to find an adequate solution. I've been struggling with this error for some time and I fear it may further bottleneck my progress unless I remove the ability to re-battle enemies entirely.
I currently don't want to do that so I'm reaching out to you or anyone else who can help. Here is the error message:

I have also run into similar issues where the game would either crash or enemies would use actions that weren't assigned to them. I tried poking around in debug mode but have not found anything different from what I have seen in this thread.
There was one other solution in this thread that worked for others where you would repeat the third argument for the BeginAction script:
- I was hoping that wouldn't be the case. I was aware that that could happen. It means I misspelled a value somewhere. Could you tell me in which rooms they occurred?
- I was aware of the issues with the water and still working on fixing them. Thank you.
- The timer resetting is a roguelike element where the game starts over upon death. It's a feature.
Thank you, Sixes. Your feedback is noted and I will make the appropriate changes.
EDIT: If you found a key. Then you're one step closer to getting the second ending. I may have to make it easier to notice in the room you're supposed to be in.
