I opened up a project that was made on v2023.8.2.108 in the newest Gamemaker v2024.11.0.179 and I'm getting a bunch of compile errors that are all like: 

Object: obj_bible_pickup_V2 Event: Step at line 85 : unknown pre-processor directive #liveignore

Any thoughts on how to solve this (besides just downloading an older version of gamemaker)? 
Thanks!

ah gotcha. Thats interesting, I didn't know those existed!

Deleting that line and then a few more that popped up after fixed the problem.

I manually downloaded an older repo that i had up on github and tried to load it up. Project runs fine, but GMLive doesnt seem to connect. I'm getting this error: 

Error indexing `C:/Users/George/Documents/GameMakerStudio2/EoE_V1/scripts/scr_modifiable_stats/scr_modifiable_stats.gml`: [L66,c2]: Unexpected character `Γ` (ord 226)

Warning: live_call outside of named scope in `C:/Users/George/Documents/GameMakerStudio2/EoE_V1/scripts/scr_tooltip_text/scr_tooltip_text.gml` [L3,c4]

Listening on port 5100...

NOTE: "live" code execution errors go into your Output window!

Any ideas as to what might be happening? 

Ah thats great, thanks Yal! 

I have "native_cursor_update();" in the step event of my obj_player. Perhaps this isn't the best place to have this line of code, but regardless when I try to make a change in the step event while the game is running, I get an error message that says : 
[GMLive][10/31/2024 3:17:14 PM][ERROR] Runtime error: [error] `instance#ref instance 100045(obj_player)` (instance of obj_player) does not have a variable `native_cursor_update`.

Is there a way to ignore this line of code? Or should I just move it elsewhere?

I'm running things from my own game, so I wasn't aware of that room actually. I'll take a look at that , thanks! 

Okay, in the playerweapons script, is global.weapon_data being initialized anywhere? 
I am getting the following error when trying to pick up an object that should in theory put a "knife" weapon in the our global.player_weapons array.

Any idea whats going on? 

Hi Yal, I've been going through the engine the last few days trying to understand and utilize some of it in my own survivors type game. For the most part its incredibly straightforward and easy to understand, but there are a few things here and there that I'm confused about and would love some clarification. Do you have a discord or anything like that?
