Hey guys, I'm having some issues whilst mapping and I'm looking for some help on a solution to relieve the situation. To get the turfs on the Map I usually just program in the main Icon file then generate instances from icon states, my issue is when I run the game it goes glitchy and some of the turf layers don't show.
here's a screen shot to demonstrate: this is in game:  this is in map:  I'm also having an issue where sometimes it will just show the completely wrong instance/state in game that's not on the map. this is in game:  this is on the map:  Any help anyone could provide would be great, I've no idea what is causing it to happen and how to alleviate it, thanks in advance. | |

Does your default/base state have a blank icon_state name? If the icon_state of an overlay is blank, it will inherit the icon_state of the atom it's attached to. Thanks DC, you've saved me from baldness due to pulling my hair out over this. It was exactly as you said so it's all fixed now. | |
So if you layer a turf with the state "south-edge" over a turf with a blank state (""), the latter will inherit the "south-edge" state at runtime. The dir variable has a similar issue (although I think it has a bug where it always inherits, even if it was set).
If that is the problem, the solution is just to give your base state a non-blank name.
