Complete Scene Reset

adamrnj

I'm getting really lost in this one. Any tips would be appreciated.

So I have a game level where the initial image of an enemy gets changed to another image.
Once it changes I hit a menu button that I created that takes me to a scene where I can choose a different level.
When I choose the same level I came from the level loads up with the second enemy image (instead of the original one as specified as a source image for the enemy's initial state). Somehow GS remembers the image change when it leaves the scene and then comes back to it. Is there a way in GS to make sure the scene is starting as it if were started the very first time?

Thanks,
Adam

If you change to a scene or reset a scene, all of the actors will return to their original positions, attributes, images, etc. So what you're describing is either a bug (unlikely) or something you've created with your code.

Post a screenshot of the rules you're using to change your actor's image and also the rules you're using to change scenes.

when you say "once it changes" are you referring to the LEVEL changing or the IMAGE changing ?

I meant the image changes.
This is what's happening:
1. I load a scene
2. The actor is moving
3. Something in the game happens that triggers change of his image
4. I click on a 'Level select' that takes me to the main level select scene
5. I go back to the scene in #1 and that's where the actor has the second (changed image) rather than it's original image as it was placed on the scene during scene design.

Are you triggering a attribute to change the image?

I'm obviously having trouble uploading images, so here are the links:

1. Scene/Level select scene that takes me to the level below (#2)

2. Changing actor's image during the game:

3. Back button that takes me to a game select scene (#1) from the above scene (#2)

Hope this will help with clarifying my issue.

Those links show a "?" mark to me..

Just tell me how your triggering the image change..how does it know which image to use?

adamrnj

I use Change Image where I select the one needed and it does change the actors image.

BBEnk

so your using a separate button to select a image for another actor is that correct?

adamrnj

No there is no button to change an image, in the scene when certain condition is true I'm using 'Change Image' method.

If the condition is a game level attribute you need to manually reset it. Scene reset only affects scene level stuff.

adamrnj

I'm not concerned by the condition (it's working fine in the game and causes the enemy image to change). When the scene reloads the enemy image is the changed one rather than its original one. The enemy image is not a game attribute, so why wouldn't it reset?
Thanks

What triggers the image change?

BBEnk

No there is no button to change an image, in the scene when certain condition is true I'm using 'Change Image' method.

If that condition is a attribute that changes to "True" it will stay "True" until you set it back to "False" a reset scene will not set attributes back to "False" only a game reset will do that. so in your actor thats changing its image have a change attribute at the top that sets that condition that may or may not be true back to "false".that way it will always start with default image.

is there a way just to reset the current scene without jumping back to the initial scene order or what ever scene is first in line, this is a bug in gamesalad, which realy needs attention, as far as im concerned
