You can’t do it like that. Use local packages.

#

no but it used to work

hushed surge Nov 2, 2024, 9:45 AM

#

Probably because that file was actually attached to a project.

frozen nebula Nov 2, 2024, 9:45 AM

#

it wasnt

hushed surge Nov 2, 2024, 9:46 AM

#

🤷‍♂️

#

well is there any way to get the objects back

hushed surge Nov 2, 2024, 9:49 AM

#

Not sure why it worked before, but that’s not a good way to manage assets.

frozen nebula well is there any way to get the objects back

What do the files for those objects look like?

frozen nebula Nov 2, 2024, 9:50 AM

#

i just have the .yy

hushed surge Nov 2, 2024, 9:50 AM

#

They’re gone then.

#

The .yy doesn’t store events.

frozen nebula Nov 2, 2024, 9:51 AM

#

last time i used them they did

hushed surge Nov 2, 2024, 9:51 AM

#

No they never did, not inside the file itself.

frozen nebula Nov 2, 2024, 9:53 AM

#

? but last time i used them the code worked everything worked the sprites also came with the object

#

Not sure what else to tell you. The .yy doesn’t have any of those files.

#

Each event is a separate file.

#

Managing .yys the way you were is wrong.

#

To move a .yy into a different project, you need to have the actual content files with it.

#

So you either have a project with all those assets or use local packages.

#

The only way this would work is if you add an object via the "add from existing" option, which adds an object to another project correctly, and not just from the yy file

hushed surge Nov 3, 2024, 10:30 AM

#

Nah that's the same thing.

#

And it still won't work if you don't have the actual files.

yea thats what I mean
