I'm making a game, and for some reason, the boss is invisible?

I've done all it's events and it still shoots out it's bullets and moves how it's supposed to, but it's invisible.

-Visible is ticked.
-When I put it in a different room (even the main menu), it's invisible.
-All it's "Step" event has is a code saying if it looses all it's health, it gets destroyed. Here's my code:
Code: Select all
```
&#123;
 if &#40;obj_boss1.HP<1&#41;
 &#123;
  instance_destroy&#40;&#41;
 &#125;;
&#125;
```

Does anyone know why?

Thanks!!!

Do you have a draw event? Draw events always elimate the default sprite for the object and replace it with whatever is drawn.

Aside from that, I can't really see the source of your problem unless you give all of the object properties for the boss.

If it's not the draw like Kooky said, Game Maker is a noob again. Cut all your code and paste it in the same place, I guess. That somethimes works for me.

Or you put in a diffrent object with the same sprite by mistake?

I do have a draw event, all it has is a code that draws the enemies health bar.

Code: Select all

//Draw the enemy's health bar.
&#123;
 draw_healthbar
 &#40;
  220,
  view_yview+35,
  420,
  view_yview+55,
  HP,
  noone,
  c_fuchsia,
  c_fuchsia,
  0,
  0,
  1
 &#41;;
&#125;

Do you see any errors. Thanks!

Oops, there's a little more in my "Draw" event. These are my actions:

"Set the Colour"
"Set the Font"
"Draw a Rectangle"
"Draw a Text"

That's all I have in my draw event.

You were right. It was the draw event. I tried putting it with a different object and it works!

Thanks!!!

I see what happened.
You drew the healthbar, which disabled the sprite. In those cases, I use this code:

Code: Select all

draw_sprite&#40;sprite_index,image_index,x,y&#41;

. That draws the sprite normaly(same possion and all that. Don't change any of it...). The only problem is that image_angle dosen't work with it.

I'm just putting this down for other times, I know you solved it.

Easy to solve if you have the Standard/Pro edition:

Code: Select all

draw_sprite_ext&#40;sprite_index,image_index,x,y,image_xscale,image_yscale,image_angle,image_blend,image_alpha&#41;;

I have pro. That works out well.
Thanks!

Ok, I've got another question.

For some reason, when I put a "+" sign between a text to separate it, it comes up with this error:

Code: Select all

___________________________________________
ERROR in
action number 23
of Draw Event
for object obj_controller&#58;

Error in code at line 7&#58;
     "BONUS&#58; " + global.bonus
                        ^
at position 23&#58; Wrong type of arguments to +.

But it doesn't do this to my other game when I use usernames!

Can someone please help me?

Thanks!

Code:

Code: Select all

&#123;
 draw_set_halign &#40;fa_middle&#41;
 draw_text
 &#40;
  view_xview+432,
  view_yview+180,
  "BONUS&#58; " + global.bonus
 &#41;;
&#125;

I thought it might be because I was using a variable in my other game that was a word, so I might have something to do with numbers and word errors.

But still, it's confusing.

"BONUS: " is a string. global.bonus is a real value. It's called a type mismatch - you have to concatenate both values as strings, in this manner:

Code: Select all

"BONUS&#58; " + string&#40;global.bonus&#41;

Thanks, I'll test it now!

It worked!

Thanks Blast!10!
