Changing Images In A Template

blowfishfruit

I thought tinkering with templates would be a good way to learn more after watching several tutorials.

So, I'm switching out images in a template, some work and some do not. All the images show the change under the actors tab on the left, but when I test the game in preview mode some switched images and others didn't. I'm thinking the prototype has something to do with it? Prototype vs Instance has been my biggest issue.
Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance,
Jesse

I should add, that these are different images.

@Blowfishfruit Add the images you need and select each Prototype (From the Actors tab) and change the images, If it's not looking right go into Scene then layers and double click the actor whoes image did not change and change it in the actors instance

Thanks SmokeyAce. I tried your recommendation. Still no change. Shows the new image in layers and on the display screen, but it does not change when I preview the game.

Could you send a print screen of the instance and the prototype of one actor the image isn't changing for?

I took snap shots, but I don't see a way to upload those pics on here. Do I have to upload it elsewhere and paste the url?

SmokeyAce73

No just just this Icon:

That's what I thought, but it doesn't give me the option to upload. It says attach image/file, but it wants an image url.

Hmmm thats odd its not showing for me, just a broken image.

In the instance actor check the image is selected, it doesn't matter if one is showing as the actor if that makes sense. Here:

blowfishfruit

Yes, it is selected.

Do the new pic links work?

SmokeyAce73

Odd, Try this, Duplicate the actor, so you have a copy of the rules etc, delete the original image and upload yours, delete the original copy of the actor and create new actor and copy the rules from the duplicated actor.

I've done this before and I know how long winded it is, you can just command c and command v, but i recommend literally dragging the rules, it help with learning you can understand the 'Code' a bit more

Thanks Smokey, I'll give this a shot. I appreciate your help.

I can't copy and paste, I can't even drag the rules.
