Character doesn't appear

[JudgeDeadd]

I've got a character with script name WEIRDO.
I want him to start in room 4 at coords 287,180.
But he just doesn't appear there!
If I put him in another room everything is fine.
Can you help me?
Or is there a command which in debug mode helps to determine where a character is?

Have you checked out if the character is invinsible or that you put him at a walkbehind area?

[JudgeDeadd]

No, there aren't walkbehinds in that room.

Or is there a command which in debug mode helps to determine where a character is?

Display("%d, %d", character[WEIRDO].x, character[WEIRDO].y);

If you want a "debug" feature for it, just tie that display to a key in on_key_press().

Is the character the player character? Check if the option "Hide player character" is checked for that room.
Check also if you had set some "invisible" view for the walkable area in the walkable area setting.

Hmmm. I saw his room by using the following.

if (keycode==2)  Display("%d, %d", character[WEIRDO].room); // Ctrl-B, display weirdo

It tells me that he's in room 4,4477254. Is that normal?

[Kweepa]

Each %d you use corresponds to a number you want to display - so 4 is the WEIRDO's room number and 4477254 is some random junk from the stack.
To fix, remove the second %d.
