working with state machines.

Hi, I'm trying to get this to work with Snowstate (a finite state machine that puts most things in the create event), and the game crashes when I try to live edit anything in the create event, saying it is out of scope. is there any way to work with this or to best use other state machines that may be compatible? thanks.

For starters, I would need the complete error message - for technical reasons I am unable to test compatibility of every single asset with mine.

complete error message attached below. thank you for the very fast response.

The error tells you what to do - you’ll want to replace method function calls with live_method.

its working! thank you, I'm very new at gamemaking and programming in general, and this allowed  me to keep two very useful tools.
