Recently upgraded many projects to GMS 2.3, and we ran into this breaking issue with the "other" keyword. I thought this information might help other folks make the GMS 2.3 transition, so here it is!

Post Body

In GMS 2.2, the other keyword returned an instance ID. In that version of Game Maker, you could do this:

// This script will return a list of instance IDs of characters that are not the 
// character who is calling the script.  

instances_that_arent_me = ds_list_create();

with o_character {
    if (id != other) {
        ds_list_add(instances_that_arent_me, id);
    }
}

return instances_that_arent_me;

However, in GMS 2.3, other is not an instance ID. It is a struct that has an instance ID inside it. So you would have to update the above script like so:

// To achieve the same result in GMS 2.3, you have to reach inside the "other" 
// struct and use dot notation to get the instance ID out of it.

instances_that_arent_me = ds_list_create();

with o_character {
    if (id != **other.id**) {
        ds_list_add(instances_that_arent_me, id);
    }
}

return instances_that_arent_me;

You can still use other like this in both versions, however:

with other {
    do_some_stuff(); 
} 

This means that you will need to evaluate your code, because wherever you were using the keyword other in GMS 2.2, you may need to replace that with other.id in GMS 2.3.
