I made an actor and no matter what i do it will not show up in the scene when i test it. Other times it was there but invisible. Anyone else ever encounter this? The other actors i created work fine.

Can we see the coding? Also, if your actor is only one color, you may have accidentally pressed the "choose color to be the transparent color" when creating the actor, making it invisible.

The easiest potential solution is just to delete the actor and put it back in again. Is that much of an issue?

The actor is multi color. Trying to figure out how to export coding now.

I deleted and reimported the actor again and now it is invisible i think that somehow it is the graphic png file. Other png work fine all made with the same graphic program. it's just this one. driving me crazy

Since you don't want to screenshot your code, it makes it very hard to help you. Here is my final suggestion to you: use a different graphic that you already know works and attach the behavior to it. If the actor disappears, you know it is the behavior; else, it is the actor.

The actor doesn't have any behavior attached to it yet. it is a new actor that a put in the scene with no the default properties.

I would post code but i cann't figure out were the code is.

Like a said no behavior is attached yet. I'm trying

I'm going to redraw the actor. Hopefully that will fix the problem

Update. redid the actor from scratch and that fixed it! Thanks to all who helped this was driving me mad!
