Game is crashing during test

[Sayhello-hello]

Hi,

it seems like my game is crashing when I try to run a test, although I'm not sure it's an actual crash because there's no error message, the game screen just goes black and there isn't anything I can do. Has anyone else had this problem and know how to solve this?

It might be waiting for something to happen before it loads, possibly an event... but is unable to do so. Maybe you have 'when room first loads' event instead of 'after room fades in' event???

If you post your code here someone maybe able to help further.

I have used the "enters room before fade-in" event.

 function room_Load()
{
  if (cEgo.PreviousRoom == 26) {
    gIconbar.Visible = false;
cEgo.Say("Honey, I'm home!");
  cEgo.Walk(590, 223, eBlock);
  cEgo.Say("Honey?");
  cEgo.Walk(263, 438, eBlock);
  cEgo.Say("Hello?");
  cEgo.ChangeRoom(22);
  }
  else if (cEgo.PreviousRoom == 22) {
      gIconbar.Visible = true;
     }
}

So the first if-sentence is sort of a cutscene and leads to room 22, which is another kind of cutscene that then leads back to the room triggering the else/if sentence when the player is allowed to play.

Unless I'm mistaken, isn't the room_Load function the "before fade-in" event?

What monkey means, everything in that function happen while screen is black (faded out)
You should change to function "after fade-in".

Actually yes, if I had properly read your post you explicitly said you were using the "before fade-in" event. If you think this through for just a moment here, you should be able to see the problem.. :

You're calling all these blocking Says and Walks before the screen fades in to show the new room. Change it to the "after fade-in" event and it should stop hanging up like that.

Okay, I changed it and it worked! Thanks alot for the help.
