Actors suddenly getting invisible!

Jaytee

I have a problem with my game. When played on an Android device, some of the actors far to the right gets invisible. (This only happens in the actual game, and not in the Main Menu and Level Select etc. PS: The levels are wider than the screen so you walk around a level with the camera following you.) An also quite strange thing is, that this doesn't happen on iOS Devices. And when the player walks in to the "zone" where stuff gets invisible, he also gets invisible. But when walking out, he gets totally normal.
- It's not like it's not working, like actors getting destroyed, they just disappear...

Does anyone know how to solve this issue? It is quite frustrating and it's the last thing that needs to be fixed before publishing for the Kindle Fire...

ive never heard of that.

Jaytee

Me neither, so it's quite strange... Anyone who knows something? :-?

Jaytee

Seriously, nobody knows? :-/

Hi @Jaytee The only thing I can think what's happening here is if your background is composed of more than one actor, then part of this background is overlapping your player, etc.

So try naming all of the background images/actors so they are easily recognised, as well as your player, etc, if none of this has been down... then go into Scene> Layers and see if the actors that disappear are underneath any of the background layers. If they are, drag them to the top of the list and then you will have no more problems with them disappearing again.

The background image is one big image, and not several images put together... It's very strange.. Would it be easier to get an answer if i submit this as a bug for the GS Team?

GS won't reply to bug reports unless they want more information. It's still worth reporting if you think it's a bug, just don't hold out for an answer from them.

K, thanks..
