deleting empty actor corrupts entire game file.

pjnolen

I have an empty actor, i'm not using. It has no rules, and no instances on scene, and no self or game attributes associated with it.

As I just discovered and lost weeks of work, if I delete it, it somehow corrupts my game file, and crashes. Every time I open that game file, GS crashes. I can work inside the file, but after going to preview, and everything on screen bugging out, after a second or so, it crashes GS.

I found out after opening up an older version backtracking what i did. I came down to this one actor.

....ouch....I still can't delete it!

check to see if you have that actor in any of your scene under another name... sometimes i get lazy and uses 1 actor for everything and forget about it.. (since you can change the actor name in each scene as well.)

not in any scene, i did use it in the past, but deleted it from the scene.

so no rules listed, no self attributes, no instances.

but if i touch it, kill the file goodbye

remove the actors in the scene and replace them, it works for me sometimes
