Alright so I'll try to keep this simple. In the project I'm working on, the protagonists are twins, and I wanted to have both of them able to be playable as separate characters at one point in the story, that the player can control. The thing is, when I go to remove the "main protagonist" from the actor list in the event, the sprite of the new character shows up for a split second then disappears. I've tried to add a filler character, thinking the original problem was that the program was tripping because there was supposedly no character to control. Same result.


Could you please help me? I attached the code that was used.
