I just started using the tutorial, and created the key object, and did what the tutorial says.  When I test my game, I cannot see the key in the room.  Have I overlooked something?  Have I checked something that I shouldnt have?  I have the "object is initially visible" box CHECKED, and I still cannot see the key when I test the game.

Thanks in advance,

Ok, I apologise....I got tanked, and redid the tutorial.

NOW i can see the key.  What did i do wrong?  What can possibly make an object not appear?  Do I have to set a baseline?

An object may not appear if you haven't assigned it a graphic (although, I believe if that's the case it'll show up as the blue cup default graphic), you put it BEHIND a walk-behind area and the baseline for it was set "above" (lower y value) that of the walk-behind, you didn't check the "Initially visible" box (which you say you did, so that's not why), or something in the script can turn the object off.Ã,  My guess in your case is that it was the walk-behind thing, because chances are you didn't mess around with too much scripting.Ã,  Simply setting the baseline for the object at the bottom of the screen will make it appear, although it'll look funny when you try to have something move in front of it. *shrugs*
