Brief Description: outside view event - this event never executes for instances that have a sprite (though it does with instances that do).
GM Versions: GM7
References: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
Example File: outside_view_bug.gmk
Bug Confirmed: Yes
Hardware Dependent: No
Main Info:
The outside view event is pretty much unusable due to this bug. It just doesn't get executed at all for instances that are given a sprite, although it strangely does for instances that aren't.
Workaround:
You can check in the step event yourself if the instance is outside the view using this script:
//outside_view[0..7]
if (bbox_right < view_xview[argument0]) {return true;}
if (bbox_top < view_yview[argument0]) {return true;}
if (bbox_left > view_xview[argument0]+view_wview[argument0]) {return true;}
if (bbox_bottom > view_yview[argument0]+view_hview[argument0]) {return true;}
return false;
