Issue with tables and actors attributes

Portyman

Is anyone else having issues with tables and actor attributes such as x, y, height and width?

It has happened in 2 of my projects so far. I have a table that changes the x,y height and width of actors. It seems that after a certain point in the project newly created actors can no longer have those attributes changes via the table.

It is not a coding issue because the older actors that reference the table work fine.

I can copy an old actor and put it on a scene but it wont reference the table either which is why I know its not coding. I have 2 actors next to each other with the same 2lines of code and they behave differently.

I thought originally that it might have been because of a GS update, but I created a new project from scratch all in the new GS version and I am having the same issue.

I am losing what is left of my hair over this issue.

Any thoughts or is this a known bug.

Thanks

I have used tables fairly extensively over the past 6-8 weeks or so, and I have had no such issues. Tables have been extremely stable and dependable thus far, in my experience. One game I am working on has about 40-50 tables, more than half of which are using the writing capabilities recently added. I have over 50 unique actors accessing these tables with no known issues.

If it truly isn't a coding issue, then I would be losing hair as well. But I can say without a doubt that this is not a universal issue, because tables have been truly amazing to me thus far... Sorry about your troubles...I hope you find a fix soon!

Are you spawning them? Are you changing their x, y , height and width.

Ok so i took a video of the issue. i had to split it into two because it was too big to email.

In the video you will see my test where i have an actor that is spawned and pulls it x, y , height and width from a table. I then take the actor and copy it and putt it on the scene and it does not work.

I then take the actual actor and copy it on the scene and it also does not work. the code is very simple and is 4 lines long. I cant figure out what is going on.

I actually take the working actor and copy it on the scene first. I then copy the working actor and put it on the scene. Neither work.
