Hi all,
I've just run into what I can only assume is a bug and wondered if y'all have run into it or have any advice.
I ran into a problem where a sprite wasn't appearing and I couldn't figure out why, so I broke it down into simpler and simpler parts, until finally was left with the simplest possible problem:
I've created a new test object, put it in my room, and in its draw event, is only: draw_sprite(spr_testsprite,0,300,300); just to make it appear in a spot onscreen.
I created spr_testsprite, and ran the game, and the sprite it doesn't appear. However, I can edit the event to instead call the name of a pre-existing sprite, like spr_goodguy. And it does appear. So I'm thinking that's weird, something's different about the sprites. So I duplicated the goodguy sprite, and make the draw call on spr_goodguy_duplicate. And it doesn't appear. Well crap, I think. So I switch it back to spr_goodguy. And that doesn't work any more either! The more I test, the worse it seems to get.
Soooooo now I'm worried that I'm dealing with a game that's been corrupted. Mind you, this is all taking place in a game that I've put many hours into.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
