Hey, hi. My game consists of a huge room, with the view following the character. I've made it so that objects outside the view are deactivated, so that I can theoretically place as many objects as I want in the game without any problems.
Well I'm having a problem. I get an error message (the general "unexpected error occurred") now when I start my game. I've played around with it and it seems that this happens whenever I try to add more objects after a certain point (certain amount of objects). Can anyone think what I'm doing wrong? I haven't even changed any code recently, at all.
Too Many Objects?

Could be a number of things, but to your title specifically, how mane objects have you created?

I had this error from so many things...
1. A sprite was 640 px wide
2. Something had an M in it
... and probably more that I don't remember
Just go change a bunch of random things until it works is how I fix it...

Well... maybe it wasn't an M in it... I think it had something to do with a M or R... I also think I just changed the capitalization... It was a long time ago, so I don't remember exactly but it was totally weird.
Yes. GM is that broken sometimes.

This error only happens to me in one circumstance: I have a graphic somewhere that's too large for my computer to work with. Usually, this is a background I'm using as a tileset, or a massive sprite or something. You say you have a huge room. Do you have a huge background to go with it? If so that might be your problem. You could remake it from tiles or break it into sections (in a sprite maybe) and only draw those that are within your view.

Wow, lots of ideas. As for how many objects I've created... probably at least a thousand, including blocks. I'd think the deactivation outside the view would help, but nope. As I said though it does seem to have something to do with the objects. It happens even if I add too many more simple things, like ladder objects and blocks.
For a background I'm using 320x240 tiles, which perfectly fit each screen. I just put one at a depth of like 100000 in every view.
I really don't know what else to say. Any ideas, given that it seems object related? I haven't changed the code in the objects i've been using for a while, either.
