Help me fix this arcade story bug in my game please!

Explanation on how to do the bug.
Go on an upgrade and keep spamming B and the upgrade menu screen appears in the “Normal World”

This upgrade screen is supposed to only appear in the “Upgrade World” when touching an upgrade :frowning:

Basically the upgrade world is the purple scary one and the normal world is the green one :slight_smile:

IDK how to fix this so I need help :baguette_bread:

Multiple things.

So like, it is a frameperfect. :frowning:

This means it is somewhat hard to replicate

With lag it gives you about a 3 or so frame window to perform this glitch, its tough to do.

I tried to make a gif of the glitch but didn’t work because the file size is too big. :person_shrugging:

Also am unable to make it into a YouTube video so I’m kinda stuck on how to show you visually. :baguette_bread:

The only thing I have is image proof sadly ;-;

can you cut part of the video to only contain like 5 seconds of the important part?

(Sorry for not responding earlier cant respond on weekends)

Most video editing softwares are banned at my school and I used my school device to make this game. :melting_face:

But while trying to figure out a way to bypass this I accidentally re-created the glitch somehow within 10 MB!

Yay!!! :partying_face: :partying_face:

This glitch can cause softlocks and is pretty annoying so it would help if the reason it was happening was found!

If the reason is found I can probably fix it by myself ngl. :baguette_bread:

found another glitch. when you first enter the upgrade world, if you happen to press b exactly where the diamond should be, you will get on the upgrade, and the text will show. if you skip through the text, then press “information” or whatever its called, you cant move.

did it.

steps (bc it’s easier for me to explain):

get 10 leaves
buy upgrade
leave
press b to re-enter
press b exactly when you overlap an upgrade
if in the overworld and the upgrade menu shows, good job :+1:
if not, then go back into the overworld and try again. (You need to go into the overworld BEFORE trying again, because otherwise b is finicky. )

Thank you for your help! :slightly_smiling_face:

I am gonna try fixing some of the bugs now.

The information one seems pretty bad as it is basically a softlock too. :baguette_bread:

I really really really appreciate the help finding the bugs and making a step by step lol.

I think it is partially how I coded some of the variables so I will mess with them to fix it. :+1:
