My important 'Round Rules' actor is corrupted!

Please help me

Thanks

I've had this issue as well. Its a bug. A way to avoid it is select the prototype ONLY from the actor list, not by selecting the prototype actor that shows up as a tab when you select an actor in the scene. Select the prototype from the tab is broken and disconnects the prototype, somehow, from itself, and you've got to recreate it from scratch.

Is it some kind of a quick fix where some bogus is mistakenly genereated in the XML file?

Can I fix it by editing the XML file?

Please help

EDIT: It doesen't work. There are blank spots in expression editor, and for some reason I'm getting rules that say "When attribute _______overlaps or collides with actor"

this usually happens when you either delete an attribute that was used in the rules, or copy the rule from one actor to another when a local (self) attribute is used.

Yes, I copied rules containing local attributes from an actor to its prototype.

Any way to fix?

Thanks for the reply.

jonmulcahy

you'll have to recreate the rules by filling in the blank spots

@jonmulcahy

Yes, I tried that, but even after selecting stuff, it still shows blank, then when I hit the back button to return to the scene editor, GameSalad itself crashes.

delete the rule and recreate it

Chakku

Yes, I just redid the rules.

It works, but one important change attribute is still blank. When I try to edit the prototype to fix that change attribute, all of the rules go blank

What should I do?

Thanks for the reply.

Also want to note that when I try and click on that actor, regardless if its prototype, or on the scene, GS gets an instant huge increase in RAM till I have 30ish MB left, and I get the colorful pinwheel loading thing also.

Do I need more RAM (I have 4 GB, since I have base model Mac)?

THANKS, it worked! There was the behaviour i mentioned earlier that was blank, and when I deleted it, everything went blank. So instead, I turned it off, then re-recreated it, and it worked.

THANKS a lot

Good idea to report the bug via support.
