whenever the player hits a switch at the end of a level, the screen is supposed to fade to black, switch tilemaps, then fade back in. what actually happens is; the screen fades to black, then i get a game over for seemingly no reason. why? ---

welp. Since I suck at code, I don’t know what’s going wrong. Plus, data and y-axis? I’ve never used them. (technically, I have used y-axis, but that doesn’t count.) ---

i figured it out! if i get rid of the y value in favor of {[camera Y] - 0.99}, i can get the same effect regardless of tilemap height!
