Self attribute to rule them all...

matarua

... well that would defeat the purpose right?

So I just broke my actors by deleting a self.attribute on another actor - the expression replaced 'self.rotateSpeed' to ' 0 '

These actors are all prototype actors - but were created by duplicating the first actor.

So it seems the self.attribute was linked as deleting it affected these other ones.

Further to that the reason I deleted it in the first place is this little guy seems to skip frames when nobody else does.

I thought it could be the time to get the self.rotateSpeed instead of just throwing a number in there.

So I deleted that and it removed the attribute from the other actors expressions, even tho they still had that attribute in the self list.

A bit wacky - but it seems perhaps it's a bug?

And what is making this guy skip frames - can he not let go of the others? Separation issues?

Ideas?

Seems this has happened to quite a few actors - their self attributes were all linked up as a variable. Something to note if you copy an actor with a bunch of rules at the moment you could end up breaking something deleting a selfy

Hi @matarua I can confirm that I had this problem not long ago, and did inform GS Support… I think it's a bug that's crept in as well…gotta be, hasn't it…. a self attribute should be concerned with "self" and not affect other attributes, surely...

matarua

Thanks @gyroscope, I will be report this as a bug then, I am not running the latest version at the mo - I am on 10.4 - is it still in the latest you think?

BBEnk

I've posted this video 3 times, I think GS finally took notice. this effect 10.4 and and 0.145 nightly.

matarua

Yep, what I am doing is different tho...

I have just made a video and will upload and then let you guys know k

matarua

Right here is what was happening to me, the bug demo in video format...

BBEnk

Yea I see, a little different but I bet related. Thats why I'm working in 10.3 I don't see how anyone works in 10.4 or nightly builds.

matarua

Yep, you can see the association - not good, hopefully that gets sorted ASAP as that could be a big big mess for somebody on a large game.

@BlackCloakGS are you aware of this?

Yes it is a big mess with a large game,lol thats why I'm working in 10.3 and just publish using 10.4 so I can get ios7 support.

I have submitted this to support through the bug tracking system for 0.10.4 and 0.10.4.1

Let us know (in this thread perhaps) if you get a response.

No word on this yet but I am sure it will get sniffed out by the bug barrons. That is a kind of in joke in my own head referring to my title which is linked of course to Lord of Rings and how there is 'one ring to rule them all' and all that - the bug barons are the ringwraiths and they be sniffing for bugs.
