sorry to keep bothering you, but I just cant get it to work. i have:

live_code_updated = function(_name, _display_name)   
{          
    show_debug_message("Reloaded " + _display_name + "(" + _name + ")");           
    if (_name == "enemies_struct") enemies_struct();   
}

in the GMLive create event, and then :

live_code_updated("enemies_struct", "enemies stuct");

in the step event. I get "Reloaded enemies stuct(enemies_struct)" in the output, but when i change a value in the array it doesn't affect the game.

just for reference, this is what my function looks like, it's a struct complied of arrays:

You should have a live_call in the enemies_struct! Won’t get changed otherwise

I've already tried that:

but I just end up getting the error message:

Ah, I suppose your script runs before GMLive’s initialization? You could make it

if (!live_enabled) enemies_struct();

in the script and add

if (live_enabled) enemies_struct();

to the end of obj_gmlive’s Create.

Or rename the “GMLive” script to “__GMLive” so that it runs before the rest. Kind of silly but that’s the world we live in starting with last year’s updates.
