Thanks a bunch! I'll go about making the changes just as soon as I fill the cat's water bowl up
(EDIT)
That's... really... REALLY strange... It's actually losing the quad when run. The screenquad object exists just before the do loop, but once the do loop exists, the screenquad no longer exists, causing the program to exist... what the heck?
(EDIT AGAIN)
It seems to be deleting the screenquad object *after* the first frame runs... or perhaps during it, but after the last line requiring it to be around has been run...
(YET ANOTHER EDIT)
Ok, the screenquad is getting deleted where i've noted here in the game loop
show object screenquad
hide object 1
hide object 2
sync mask %01
`screenquad still exists here
sync
`screenquad no longer exists here
loop
there's only one conclusion... it's getting deleted during the sync command... I'm going to try fastsync since it skips over a bunch of "mandantory" stuff.
(LAST EDIT)
fastsync isn't preventing it from being deleted either... This is definitely a major bug... why would sync delete an object?
Here's my entire gameloop and the other functions i've changed as per your recommendations
function gameloop()
do
`framecounter = framecounter + 1
`msgbox("Frame Counter", str$(framecounter), 0)
position camera 1, camera position x(0), camera position y(0), camera position z(0)
rotate camera 1, camera angle x(0), camera angle y(0), camera angle z(0)
hide object screenquad
show object 1
show object 2
sync camera 1

Nothing I say is intended to be rude. My autism means that I do not know what is rude and what isn't rude. I apologize if I seem rude. It is not my intention.
