In-Game: Methods use a different scope to expected in 2024.200 Betas

[gm-bug-reporter]

Description

In this last Beta Method is acting diferent that in Stable, when i do a method(owner, function) and save it in the Stable version when i executed the method its gonna use the corrent scope (owner) but in the last beta this not happen.

i genuinely think this is a bug and not a mistake made by me because i can compile and use the title menu in the stable version.

you can check the .mp4 video that show the error too. If this is intentional please tell.

Steps To Reproduce

• Put the files attached on the folder created in the local folder. local/Ghost_Seed

1. Check FastsSM build static method on line 419 and check how the methods are saved using method(__owner, _fn)
2. Use Stable and compile, now in uiTitleScreen the fsm execution is gonna throw an error after pressing the enter. key
3. Use Beta and compile, now in uiTitleScreen the fsm execution is gonna throw an error after pressing the enter key.

Fixed in 2024.2 - the problem was actually with an optimisation that was added for handling variable_struct_get() with constant parameters and the code that is similar to _var[$ "foo" ] ??= value
