This is a Trigger Warp code:

if (needEnter) 
 if (keyboard_check(vk_enter)) 
 audio_play_sound(door_open,0,0);
 room_goto(targetRoom);
 obj_player.x = targetX;
 obj_player.y = targetY;
 obj_player.image_index = playerSide
 
 else 
 if (!instance_exists(obj_msgballoon)) 
 balloon = instance_create_layer(obj_player.x, obj_player.bbox_top, "hud", obj_msgballoon);
 balloon.balloon_msg = msg_openable_door;
 
 playerIsIn = true
 

else 
 room_goto(targetRoom);
 obj_player.x = targetX;
 obj_player.y = targetY;

The code above triggers the spawn of the obj_msgballoon Instance normally... but something like this doesn't:

if (keyboard_check(vk_enter)) 
 if instance_exists(obj_msgballoon) 
 if (obj_msgballoon.image_yscale > 1) 
 if cooldown < 1 
 instance_destroy(obj_msgballoon) 
 balloon = instance_create_layer(obj_player.x, obj_player.bbox_top, "hud", obj_msgballoon)
 balloon.isTimed = true;
 balloon.balloon_msg = msg_locked_door;
 cooldown = 15;
 
 
 cooldown--;
 
 else 
 balloon = instance_create_layer(obj_player.x, obj_player.bbox_top, "hud", obj_msgballoon) 
 balloon.isTimed = true;
 balloon.balloon_msg = msg_locked_door;
 
 if (!audio_is_playing(locked_door_snd)) 
 audio_play_sound(locked_door_snd,0,0);
 
 

Even if I do something like this it does not work:

balloon = instance_create_layer(obj_player.x, obj_player.bbox_top, "hud", obj_msgballoon);
balloon.balloon_msg = msg_openable_door;

I just can't find out the problem... maybe I'm missing something?

Edit: Here it is the code of the obj_msgballoon;

STEP:

if (p) 
 sprite_index = ballon_msg; 
 p = false;


if (!isTimed) 
 if image_yscale < 1 
 image_yscale += 0.3
 
 x = obj_player.x
 y = obj_player.bbox_top - 15
 else 
 if image_yscale < 1 
 image_yscale += 0.3
 
 x = obj_player.x
 y = obj_player.bbox_top - 15
 if cooldown < 1 
 instance_destroy();
 
 cooldown--;

CREATE:

image_yscale = 0
p = true;
cooldown = 40;
isTimed = false;
balloon_msg = pointer_null;
