Here's my full crash log, along with a video of the crash and relevant screenshots of code!

that means that whatever instance active_target is set to doesn't exist when you try to access it

#

if active_target != noone is still true if the instance stored in the variable is destroyed, since the variable is still set to it's id even if it's destroyed

#

you'd want if instance_exists(active_target) instead for it to also work with destroyed instance

now i'm getting this error, from this line of code, looks like a similar issue
i'm destroying the instance once the target dies, seems to have caused a few big issues
