WTF Actor Deletes Itself When Pressed

I have an actor that deletes itself for no reason when I press it. There is NO destroy actor in it or anything. Anyone else have this issue before?

    not sure what you are talking about, but i get TONS of issues and bugs in gamesalad. i would try to quit gs and reopen it, or maybe delete the actor from the scene then re adding it, not sure what to do though.

    Okay, so you didn't put a Destroy behaviour in the actor... what is in there then?

    Is it possible you have a behaviour in the actor that is performing movement on the actor at a speed that is preventing you from seeing it or moving it offscreen as the game is firing up in preview mode?

    could you post a screenshot of the full expanded rules for the actor?

    that could also be something else to watch out for, just try to figure out what excactly is happeneing when you click the actor, if it becoms clear that it just is randomly deleting itself, then i hate to say it but your game is done, you may have to start the same game from scratch then

    True, it may be just going off the screen, turning invisible or something rather than destroying.
    think about ANY possibility that could be happening

    Things can get strange, I have an app with several actors flying around, wrapping over the sides of the screen.
    After a time, some of them just "get lost"...! who knows where they went

    time to hit reset ;-)

    It's definitely screenshot time so you can show us what is going on in there. I am sure that with that information we will be able to help you.

    press "SHIFT + COMMAND + number 4" on a Mac to select an area of the screen to snapshot.
    hit return to pick?

    It will save it as a file to your desktop.
    select the right one, rename and upload here, so we can help
