Is there a limit to the number of sprites you can have in a game? I'm trying to make a key appear on screen, and my game does use a lot of sprites... but the key just isn't appearing... and I have the line for 'show sprite' immediately after the line where the sprite is shown, so it can't possibly be hidden. And also, it must be in the right place, because the code to pick up the key is working fine :/

I'm just stumped as to why it's not appearing on the screen... any likely suggestions :/?

Post a snippet. Its unlikely you reached the limit as this is situated above 60,000 sprites. Maybe if you need some sprites at the beginning of the prog, and not later on delete it when you dont need anymore.

Whatever I did I didn't do it!

DB Classic has a limit of 65535 sprites. If you try and use a sprite above that number, you will automatically get a run-time error.

DBPro of course has a much higher limit.#

The problem is most likely within your code.

DBPro will accept sprite numbers of at least 8 million.

Of course, your frame rate may drop if you use that many

Yeah, i'm definitely not suing that many heh...
Anywya, here's the section that should display the sprite... as you can see, the show sprite code is right there and the code there for picking up the keys works, so it's happy... *shrug* it's probably something stupid and obvious
