edited March 2013 in Working with GS (Mac)
I updated my GS Creator and all of a sudden my app has problems it didn't have before I updated GS. A lot of my "code" that worked before doesn't work now. I have random glitches that were not there before. Could a GS update actually do this to my almost completed game?

Also, does the layering of behaviors in actors affect how it performs in the game? And can an actor have "too many behaviors"?

If you could help me that would be great!! Thank you.

    Do you use tables? Can you please explain to us the so called "problems"?
    It may also be worth your while to read or at least skim through the 10.2 thread, as many bugs and fixes have been posted there.

    And yes, you can have too many behaviors. However, it takes a lot and there are many variables before you start to experience major issues. And I have heard rumors of layering things affecting gameplay, but make sure that the layers are scrollable or not correctly.

    Hope that helps,

    I use tables to randomly generate food. I also write certain info about the foods (from the original table) into another table. That info is projected on the next scene. Now that I have read about the glitches, thank you. I really hope GS comes up with a solution because as far as I am concerned my game doesn't work anymore and it was ready to be published before the update screwed me over.

    I believe all the issues I am having are thanks to the new update considering my whole game basically runs on tables.

    I wish I could do that. :(

    But in all seriousness, you can always open your project with the old (10.1) version of GameSalad. Also, one of the main issues with tables is that you can no longer have a zero value for a row or column expression. Maybe check to see if that's happening.

    Dang, that has to be the problem now. I have zeros for the calories in diet sodas and water.... well that screws things up a bit. And that would make sense why I have random glitches regarding my tables. Thank you! So theres no way around it? And also, is there any way to delete columns and rows in the middle of the table? Drives me crazy because I have to export and import the cvs in order to change anything.

    Just to clarify, @tatiang doesn't mean you can't have 0's in your table. He's saying that when you reference a table, it cannot look for row or column 0, because it doesn't exist.
