Is there any other option that would set a sprite invisible other then setspritevisible (). I ask because I have a sprite that seems to be turning itself invisible without me calling the command,. I've printed getspriteexistst, getspritex, getspritex and those check out but getspritevisible shows that it does infact become invisible. I have ctrl f to search my code for any setspritevisible command regarding this sprite and nothing is there .

check GetSpriteColorAlpha() where you may have set the Alpha to 0 via SetSpriteColor() or SetSpriteColorAlpha() ?

then, the random chance that the sprite is a solid color image and it matches SetImageTransparentColor() ?

also, are you sure the sprite isn't behind another? so, Set/GetSpriteDepth()

without knowing more about the project, it could be some other things. ie, are you using SetViewOffset() and/or SetViewZoom(), for example? see FixSpriteToScreen() for more on that.

i print(getspritevisible(panel.id)) and it switched to '0'. would any other command besides setspritevisible() effect that? i also searched every mention of panel.id in my code and the only thing i do with it is create it, set depth and set position

edit: so today the issue has fixed itself somehow and i havent changed anything possible a glitch that just needed a restart?

Have you checked the position of the sprite? Maybe it's not invisible, just off-screen.
