Hello, recently I have been creating options in my game that move the actor "view" from one side to another. But I'm having very serious troubles as when view reaches its destination, it suddenly recedes back to its previous position. I have no idea why. I am using timers, but I have made sure to specify in the options that they do not loop forever, and only one time instead.

Edit: Also, I wonder how all my work in an entire .GED just simply disappeared? When I had my work, the .GED file was 15 KB, and when I came back to it, it still showed it was 15 KB, but when I loaded it I came to a blank.

Does view have a parent, if so make it have none. Is there a code in the view's draw actor that makes the view recede back to the previous position?

Did it show any errors, or did it just come up blank? If it showed errors like an image file is missing, put on a placeholder image with the exact same name, if it showed nothing, post the .ged here, it's hard to figure it out if you don't show us any screenshots or the ged file.

Oh nevermind, I solved it by myself. With the view actor, I had it disable the Timer events when it got to its destination, and view didn't have a parent. With my work disappearing, it showed a blank and didn't display any error messages. I think the funky character in the folder path '~' must have screwed something up.
