Hi,

Just trying Game Maker Lite for Mac for the first time with my 9-year old son. We were following this tutorial:
http://www.yourgamed...ith-game-maker8

Everything was working ok until we tried to add the "bat_right" object in the room. It looks like the object was added, but we can't see it! The reason I say this is that when you mouse over that square, the text at the bottom shows up saying "object: bat_right" yet we can't see anything.

Looks like a bug, or did I set something to transparent somewhere and missed it?

Thanks,

PL

Do you happen to have anything in the draw event of the object?

If you put something in the draw event, it stops the default "auto-draw" action, because it assumes you want to handle it manually. So if you've used the draw event, be sure to draw the sprite in it, too.

Yes, either you havent set a sprite or you need to place
draw_sprite(sprite_index,image_index,x,y);
in the draw event aswell as the other drawing scripts you are using.

I'm having the same problem. I've used GameMaker for Windows before and I've made (but never released) several games. When I try to add an object to a room in GM4Mac, I can't see it. But when I run the game I do see the objects. I'm on OS X 10.7.5, on a MacBook Air. Can anyone help?
