    Question - IDE My game files are now empty...

    I left making my game for about a month, then when coming back to it, found out my game had been deleted- sort of. When entering the project, nothing was there, no sign of any game.

    Can you delete a struct in one of its own functions?

    I've tried something like this: static free = function () { delete self; } However this always makes GM freak the hell out and fail to compile with the error Cannot set a constant ("@@This@@") to a value, even though I feel like it should work? Unless I'm being a moron and self doesn't work...

    Windows Game is deleting my sprites and is saying they're variables

    I open my game in the project editing window. It says "The variable sprite_index = sPlayerA (name of sprite) has not been set." Obviously, not a variable.
