From @eriktorbjorn on bug #6714:
"Perhaps related, sometimes (far from always) when I try to pick up a handful of clay Spy Fox disappears entirely for a moment."

@sev I don't suppose you have any further ideas about this, now that more information about the HE SCUMM engine has been unearthed?

comment:14 by Thunderforge, 2 years ago

Still an issue on 2.6.0 (Windows x64).

Tested on the Steam version, both US and UK English.

comment:15 by eriktorbjorn, 7 months ago

It appears the problem is not the actual actor drawing (as I had previously assumed), it's that Spy Fox isn't drawn on every frame (because sometimes _needRedraw is false), but the lake "actor" behind him is, causing his head to be drawn over.

You can test this theory by adding this to the beginning of Actor::drawActorCostume():

    if (_number == 6)
        return;

The lake surface in the background will no longer be animated - it's not a bugfix - but Spy Fox will keep his head.

comment:16 by eriktorbjorn, 7 months ago

In the scene with the clay, it doesn't appear to be another actor obscuring you, but it might perhaps have something to do with the whole screen going wibbly-wobbly to simulate underwater? If you force _needRedraw to always be true for actor 1, the glitch goes away. Of course, that's not a proper fix either. Just an indication that perhaps something has to flag the actor for redraw?
