Sprite Disappears when I build for ipad

Games
#1

Hey everyone.

I hope you are great, I got some sort of issue. I have a sprite in my game that I made using spriteLoq. The sprite works well when I test my main.lua on corona simulator, but when I build to game to test it on a real device. The sprite simple disappears.

Does anyone know what is going on?

Thank you very much in advance.

hi steven62,

FYI, Spriteloq has a sub-forum here: http://developer.anscamobile.com/forums/spriteloq-flash-corona®-exporter

Can you post a simple code sample? Does it disappear on other devices? I don’t have an iPad to test, but I know the code does work fine for plenty of other people working on iPad games. [import]uid: 27183 topic_id: 18906 reply_id: 72816[/import]

Hello Don

Here is the part of the code where I add the sprite

local loqsprite = require(“loq_sprite”)
local spriteFactory = loqsprite.newFactory(“johnny_sheet”)
local johnny = spriteFactory:newSpriteGroup()
johnny.x = 384
johnny.y = 760

johnny:play(“walking”)

The odd thing is that it works perfect on the simulator, but when I build the sprite simply disappears. I havent tested on other devices I only have an ipad on me right now. But its very strange.

Thank you very much for your time

build for xcode and test it in its simulator, and progress log will tell you, hopefully, whats wrong with your app [import]uid: 16142 topic_id: 18906 reply_id: 72821[/import]

Hi steven,

I don’t see anything wrong with that code. It must be something else causing the issue. Are you using any other libraries? Can you load regular images?

I don’t know why the behavior is different on the iPad. Maybe follow up on darkconsoles suggestion of running it on the xcode simulator to see what’s wrong. [import]uid: 27183 topic_id: 18906 reply_id: 72823[/import]

Thx for your help guys, Nope I just added the spriteLoq API to my project and not using any other libraries. I tried running it on xcode simulator and on an iphone 4 and I get the same result. No sprite animations on the xcode simulator or the devices it only works well on the corona simulator.

Sounds like a weird bug, I do have all the updates on all the software. I´ll keep digging around to see if I can find something. i´ll try to create the sprites using spritehelper instead to see if its a spriteLoq issue.

I´ll let you know, again thanks a lot for your help. [import]uid: 109485 topic_id: 18906 reply_id: 72826[/import]

hi steven can you send your entire code sample and assets to support at loqheart? I’ll try building to device for my ipod to see if I can replicate the issue. [import]uid: 27183 topic_id: 18906 reply_id: 72847[/import]

Hey Don.

I actually got it working I dont really know what was the issue. What I did was create a new project create the sprites again using spriteLoq then I changed the name of the sprite_sheet file typed the code again and voila!.

Thanks a lot for your help [import]uid: 109485 topic_id: 18906 reply_id: 72886[/import]
