No actors in scene are working!

Luke20w

I have a game with many levels and so far i have just been copying the first level which is a scene and changing things to make new ones. But now whenever I copy a scene the level doesn't work. In fact nothing in the scene works. I didn't change anything I just copied the first scene (that works) and in the second scene it doesn't work. This has never happened before to me. Any ideas on what is going on here?

And also if I create a new scene it does work.

It sounds like a frustrating problem. There's just not enough information here to help you, though. For example, what does "nothing in the scene works" mean? If you have an actor with "When Touch is Pressed-->Destroy Actor" (and ONLY that rule) and test it in the original scene and the copied scene, what happens to that actor in each scene when you click on it? And when you create a new scene and "it does work" what does that mean? What would someone see/hear/etc. when your scene did or did not work?

If you can provide more details about what does/does not work, someone might be able to help you solve it.

Are you using tables?

Luke20w

One of the many examples is the ball doesn't collide with the platform. There is gravity in both scenes (the copied and original) and the ball has a rule; collide with platform. In the first scene the ball does collide with the platform in the second scene the ball just falls right through it.

And no I am not using tables in this scene

@tatiang and @The_Gamesalad_Guru if you want to see what the game is and what might be going wrong with it you can download it on the app store for iPhone or iPad just search "Draw It Gamesalad"

Luke20w

Can somebody please try to figure this out I can't find anything wrong

Luke20w

@tatiang does that info help you?

DID you break the prototype? Open the actor on the second scene from on scene and look at the code.

tatiang

Downloading the game won't help me determine what's wrong because the problem is likely with attribute values or rules that you've set up.

Your initial post was titled "No actors in scene are working!" I asked you if a simple test worked... but you haven't responded.

Luke20w

No I checked and I didn't break the prototype @The_Gamesalad_Guru and I did the test and it doesn't work in the second scene but it does the first

I am almost positive it it a bug in GameSalad because I have one scene that works, copy it and nothing works anymore (no animations, no collisions, no movement at all). GameSalad developers please look at this. I will also post it in the bug area.

If you have 1 scene that works, I can almost guarantee that it is an error in your code.

Are you able to say what 'it doesn't work' means, can you say in what way it doesn't work ? When @tatiang asks "what happens to that actor in each scene when you click on it?" he's trying to find out what actually happens - for example 'the actor doesn't appear', 'the actor appears but is not destroyed when touch is pressed', 'GameSalad quits on preview', 'the actor is destroyed but then GameSalad freezes', 'nothing happens and then after a few seconds the actor is destroyed' (etc etc) ?

Luke20w

I don't know how much more info i can possibly give other than the example of not colliding with the platform and I would upload my but someone could easily steal my game.

You could have a corrupt scene or actor. Try making a new scene or deleting the actors that don't work off the scene and bring on new copies of the prototype.
