The problem isn't with an object named playerskin, it's with a SPRITE named playerskin. Make sure you have a sprite named playerskin in your resource tree, even if it's just a blank one. You can't change it until after it's created.

Trying to replace non-existing sprite.

The error says you don't. Check for typos in the sprite name?

[NizarPlayz]

if you have an object name playerskin, you can't have a sprite with the same name. And if you do, you HAVE to call one of them differently

You sir are a Game Saver! Thank you that worked for me

It should be by default by adding prefix for sprite as "spr_", for object "obj_", for sound "snd_" and whatever you prefer, this avoids errors like one you're facing at this moment.

Glad it's solved, but please, for the sake of everyone, limit your double posting. If you get an advice and want to try it, don't write "I'll try and see", just do it and report the results.

It's a forum, not a chat, nobody will get mad if you don't reply instantly (quite the contrary in fact if you machine-gun post)
