#

are you 100% sure the code where _state is set is being reached?
is it the same _state variable or maybe you're setting it with the same name in another scope somehow?

#

check directly before and after setting it

#

maybe it's being immediately turned back into free state on the same/next frame

how 2 delete help channel?

#

the forum threads are not deleted because they can serve as future help for anyone going forward

#

wanting to delete it is also the same line of thinking that writes "nvm fixed it" :P

#

take that extra moment to give back for whatever effort people may have put into helping you to help others in the future!

glass crypt what was the problem/fix though?

i'll make a little bigger write up about it when i get home, but basically, turns out i had just broken everything related to the constructors n stuff so i had to re-write everything

#

ok so basically, i was doing some inheritence shenanigans the wrong way

//this is what i did

function playerCharacter() constructor
{
  //bunch of statics with empty code
}

function playerAzul() : playerCharacter() constructor
{
  //these same statics filled with code (bad idea!)
}

this ended up causing some problems, so i had to re-write the code so that all these structs are separate (with no inheritance) so yeah, not the most elegant way to do this but ig it works osakaaaa

#

also, i was doing a wrong way to switch states

#

i was using a variable named "_state" within the constructor, that would then change the normal "state" variable within the player object

#

with a combination of these 2, the code looked (a little bit, still messy) cleaner and it also actually worked

#state no change????
