path_index

The variable path_index is a read-only variable that holds the index value for a given path asset that has been assigned to an instance using the path_start function. If the instance has no path assigned, the variable will be set to -1.

Syntax:

path_index;

Returns:

Path Asset

Example:

if (path_index == -1)
{
    path_start(pth_enemy3, 4, path_action_reverse, 0);
}

The above code checks to see if a path has been assigned to the instance, and if not it starts a new path (assigning it to the path_index at the same time).
