GameSalad Bug! Change Scene Behavior

olivern

Hello,

I think I have found a bug with GameSalad on Mac. I have an actor which contains a behaviour which says that if touch is pressed inside, it changes the scene to 'Menu', but when I press it it goes to a different scene 'Gameplay'. I have used the play button instead of GS preview and when I press the actor, it asks me if I want to change scene to 'Gameplay'. I am sure that I have not done anything wrong (you may see the behaviours if you like), it just seems weird that GameSalad would read it like this.

Does anyone else have this issue?

I know you don't want to hear this, but I would bet it's bad code. The chance scene behavior has been around for years and is used by thousands of developers without a problem.

Are you sure you don't have an instance of the Actor (unlocked) and maybe you were editing the prototype? Maybe there is an otherwise statement?

Post a screenshot of the rule too, it will help

It' okay - I am relatively new to GameSalad so it is probably bad code. I can't see any issues though. I have attached a screenshot of the rules for that actor.

You don't need the 'mouse button down' rule I don't think. Try taking that out.

Move your change attributes (game.dead and game.score) so they are before the change scene behavior.. and don't write "I am sure that I have not done anything wrong" in the future

Actors are tied to their scenes. So if you change the scene, that particular actor stops its rules. You want behaviors such as Change Scene to be the last in the list.

Are you sure you only have one scene named "Menu"?

Okay thank you, it is working now - I will be sure to never say "I am sure that I have not done anything wrong" again! Haha
