    GameMaker Text won't appear when hovering over an invisible object

    I have it so that when I hover the mouse over an object, it displays text at the bottom of the screen as to what that object is. However, this only works with visible objects. I want it to also work with invisible objects. All these objects (visible and invisible) have the same parent...

    Only my background color shows when running the game.

    Objects are turning invisible

    I am not using the draw event nor have I unchecked the visibility. Neither the player nor the enemies are visible, but their bullets are. I can shoot with and move the player, but his sprite no longer renders.
