Export Project to WIndows - Sprite Image not appearing - Issue 2

dassa

Hi, I am having an issue in the exported exe version of my project where a static sprite/image does not appear over another sprite based on game options used by the player. This function works in the editor and the same concept is used in many game locations.

How this works is simple - I have a back sprite image and after certain game actions the sprite image is altered by overlaying another sprite image eg. scene with a closed door and after the open command a sprite of the open door is overlaid.

Within the compiled exe, the overlaid sprite does not appear although the game seems to run as it should. I have chaged the Z order of the overlay sprite to be higher than the background sprite, and have the correct tree order but this does not make any difference in the exe.

Is there something here I am missing ? Any assistance would be appreciated as I am running out of hair to pull out...

Are you getting any errors in the console if you run the exported game from the console? Maybe there's an error or something causing the issue. I'm not sure there will be anything, but maybe it will help have an error that can help deduce what is going on.

No I am not getting any errors in the console running the exe.

Everything displays correctly when running from the editor (the overlay sprite is used in several game locations) but once compiled, the overlay sprite does not appear. Below is a copy of the relevant code for the overlay

func site_overlays(gfx: int):
	var oFile = "res://sites/"
	match gfx:
		1:
			pass
		2:		 # mailbox site 3
			$picOver.position.x = 624
			$picOver.position.y = 434 # 400
			oFile += "Site003gfx01.jpg"
			$picOver.texture = load(oFile)
			$picOver.z_index = 10
			$picOver.visible = true			
		3:		# car boot open
			$picOver.position.x = 1132+128
			$picOver.position.y = 298+120
			oFile += "Site006gfx02.jpg"
			$picOver.texture = load(oFile)
			$picOver.visible = true

I have also tried setting the z order value prior to displaying but still no success.

The scene tree is as follows- - PlayScr (Node2D) - BGsprite (background image - SitePic (sprite with current location image) - PicOver (overlay sprite) Should this cause a problem ?
