Room transfer help

[ensomari]

I'm a decent ways into a game and I've done some room_gotos via pause and upgrade screens. I just made a main menu screen that has the following code:


if (menu_committed != -1)
{
switch(menu_committed)
{
case 3: room_goto(rMain); break;
case 2: room_goto(rHowToPlay); break;
case 1: room_goto(rSettings); break;
case 0: game_end(); break;
}
}

If I put a breakpoint in the switch/case block, my code works. If I let it run through without stopping to take a break, the game crashes with no error displayed. (X://windows/Runner.exe exited with non-zero status (-1073740791))

Am I missing something? Is there a simple strategy to make sure this works? Any way to force the output to be more verbose?

Strange, not sure but no space after the switch perhaps?? Also just curious, why is there an if statement there when -1 isn't a case? Also, it might be a good idea to create an enum for your menu_committed values just in case you want to reorder the indices instead of hardcoding.

enum menuIndex {
gameTerminate,
settings,
howToPlay,
main

}

then you can

switch
case menuIndex.main: room_goto(rMain); break;
etc...

Thanks, valid and good code style suggestions. I'm just reusing the same style from a tutorial to quickly make screens. I still have the problem though. What do people normally do when no error is displayed when the game crashes?

Cool, I actually figured it out. Related to the copypasta coding I'm doing I guess.

in Clean Up... sprite_delete(global.screenshot); // Delete the saved screenshot

There was no global.screenshot variable declared yet. Weird how no error is displayed for this though, and weird that it worked with a debugger paused.
