Disappearing actors that have text - Bug?

Postby ondy1985 » Sun Sep 11, 2005 12:19 pm

Hi Makslane,
while I was solving my "Main menu" problem I've found something strange. If I create an actor that has text and set it as a child of the VIEW actor (i.e. VIEW is it's parent), and then I move the view from one activation region to another (like from menu screen to game screen), the text actor moves as well. But once I export the game, the text actor disappears when I leave the activation region the actor was created in.
You can make your test .ged yourself or use this one (left-click on the GE icon to move the view). Try it in Game mode - it should work as it is suppsed to, and then in exported mode (I used Windows executable, but maybe this happens in other exports as well). I found that it doesn't matter whether you use bitmap font or true-type font - it always behaves the same. Is it my fault or is it a bug?

EDIT: now I tryed it again and it didn't work even in Game Mode. The text actor dissapeared, but any other actors (that have VIEW as their parent) remain.

Is a bug (will be solved in next version). You can try put activation region cover the score area in both regions.

yes, that would solve this problem, but sometimes this is not possible. What is strange, a few hours ago I was surprised that I tested my game and it worked! I was pretty happy. But now I'm trying it again and I it's not working now. Weird, huh?
