Create Actor Bug?

[andyS]

I have created an Actor called test and made this not visible at start up and with a star graphic.

I then created an Actor called wave1 and set it to visible at start up and with a ball graphic.

I then set an Event on wave1 to create actor event and set the action to script editor.

In the script editor I used the function create actor;

"CreateActor("test", "star", "(none)", "(none)", 75, 75, true);"

Should this show test when I run the program or am I missing something?

I had the same problem with a timer and showing an actor sometimes it would work and sometime not. This also depended on if the wave1 actor was within the visible area (even with Receive events when out of vision to yes)

Is this a bug in 1.3.5?

Many thanks for any help

It looks like this problem is only with my current project. I have tried this with a new project and all works as it should.

I also tried to create an actor with a key press and this deosn't work!
Is it possible to get a crupt project?

The levelOne create the waveOne actor, but in a position you can't see.
The 20, 20 position is not in your view. Chage the option 'Relative to creator' to Yes or put the actor in other position will solve the problem.
