2.2 games aren't perfectly compatible with 3.0, so you may have to do some code adjustment to make your game work.  One thing I notice is that you're using duplicate events.  Maybe the order of event execution is different between 2.2 and 3.0.  In particular, look at screenshots 2 and 4.

Like Rob said, there's nothing wrong with Stencyl 3.0 specifically. It's the migration from 2.x to 3.x that causes the problem. You need to understand, 3.0 was a MAJOR overhaul of the program. Even though the aesthetics are the same, the back end of the program has been basically rewritten. They're using a completely different flash engine now, too.

I hate to say it, but you may need to restart from the ground up. Or just roll back to 2.x and finish your game without the feature you were trying to add with 3.0.

From looking at 4 again in thinking, should I change it from  a when created to something else?
Because at the moment at creation I set it to false, and also at creation it's checking if it's true?
If so what eve cent type should I change it to?

Thats why im so confused :(:(

Yes it does axactly the same thing.


This is so strange, because literally, it worked perfectly in stencyl 2.2, downloaded 3.0, opened the game and boom, its broken.


DEFINATELY DONT DOWNLOAD 3.0 ANYONE!!!

I had some issues when first migrating as well, but now that I'm back to the state I was in prior to the upgrade I'm absolutely LOVING the new features :) Hang in there!

Well i really dont know whats gone wrong here and its really annoying.

Obviously the code for generating the obstacles etc is fine, because the first time round it works exactly as planned, it must be in the reloading, but it doesnt seem wrong :/

3.0 doesn't really have THAT many bugs. And just like with anything, they can't iron out EVERY problem before releasing it to the masses. Even though they had a pretty solid beta group with the paid subscribers, you can't reasonable expect it to be flawless.

People need to understand that Stencyl 2.x and Stencyl 3.0 are basically DIFFERENT programs with the same name. You can't really be upset if there are compatibility issues between two completely different versions...

You can find older versions in this thread if you want them, but please don't ask any support questions unless you're using 3.0.
