GameMaker [SOLVED] Persistent object disappearing

[Joky]

So I have an object that is persistent and when switching rooms and then back it disappears.

Any solutions?

A few questions up front. Do you have any code in your object that would cause it to destroy itself? Are your rooms different sizes? Is it disappearing when you go from the room its created in to a second room, or only when you go back to the first room from a second room? One quick check I'd do is putting in a show_debug_message in a room start or destroy event to make sure its actually disappearing and something else isn't happening.

no destruction no different room sizes when I go from first room to second and then back it disappears

You're going to need to post some code: anything in your persistent object that pertains to changing rooms and any code in other objects that handles room changes or effects your persistent object.

Step:

if (kids = 5)
{
    object_set_visible(obj_kid,false);
    obj_cash.cash = obj_cash.cash + 15
    kids = 6
    alarm[2] = room_speed * 2
}

Alarm:

kid = 0
room_goto(rm_earnings)

Button That Can Be Clicked In 2ND Room To Go Back:

if mouse_check_button_pressed(mb_left) && position_meeting(mouse_x, mouse_y, obj_green) && (obj_greenbutton.dead = 0)
{
      room_goto(rm_office)   
      obj_cash.x = 3092
      obj_cash.y = 512
      obj_kid.kids = 0
      obj_kid.kid = 0
      obj_greenbutton.good = 0
      obj_greenbutton.bad = 0
      audio_play_sound(snd_knockknock,1,false)
      audio_resume_sound(snd_music)
      
      obj_kid.alarm[0] = room_speed * 2

Do you have code that deactivates things?

Do you have code that deactivates things?

what do you mean?

Alright, so you set obj_kid to be invisible if the kids variable equals 5, but nowhere in your code (at least the code you've provided) is it set to visible again. You've reset the kids variable to 0, but that doesn't automatically change visibility back after its set to false just because kids no longer equals 5.

Forget to add this XD

if (kids = 5)
{
    object_set_visible(obj_kid,false);
    obj_cash.cash = obj_cash.cash + 15
    kids = 6
    alarm[2] = room_speed * 2
}

if (kids < 5 && !kid = 0 && obj_door.door = "open")
{
obj_kid.visible = true
}

if (kids > 5 || kid = 0 || obj_door.door = "closed")
{
obj_kid.visible = false
}

 

[Joky]

any solutions?

 

[Joky]

I fixed it! I just instead of making obj_kid persistent so the kid and kids variables stay I just put them all in an object that was already persistent.
