[fixed in 1.0.71+] Indexing Error with Strings Using Custom Characters

Hi! The server keeps telling me it has an error indexing a couple of Draw GUI events, specifically where a string starts with a unicode character reference, calling it an "unclosed string".  Screenshots of where the errors point to here.

This has lead to these events not being updated when I call for it. If anyone has any idea why this is, lemme know. Thanks!

GameMaker is full of mysteries. For example, the manual suggests that you’re supposed to use “\xD2” for two-character sequences and “\u00D2” for four-character sequences, but turns out that it’ll accept both less and more characters for \u, so all of the following are valid:

show_debug_message("\xD2 \uD2 \u00D2 \u0000D2")

I’ll get this fixed in the next release

Thanks, I appreciate it ^^
