This absolute basic tutorial shows you what variables do in gamemaker and why it is key to understand that they not only store simple data like a string (text) or number but they also store a reference to an instance. Image a reference like a link or a pointer to a memory space of an object. That reference can be used to change the newly created instance of an object.
These 2 key functions of variables are essential in understanding how to programm in gamemaker and other programming langueage.
