Some elements that used to flash don't anymore

[AlexKhayrullin]

Probably as a consequence of me adding and then removing a 30FPS mode (which I thought could improve performances on older Android phones) , some elements that used to flash no longer do.

What I've seen so far: "3 2 1 GO" after the race against Metal Sonic starts; appearing blocks in AAZ Past, maybe the lights in the background of AAZ future, I'm not sure.

"3 2 1 GO" doesn't flash because User Event 15 toggles flashing... and you've removed the with (all) event_user(15); line when removing 30 FPS mode. :p

Maybe some other objects rely on it idk the project file is huge and GMS1 IDE is slow.

[AlexKhayrullin]

Yup, that's exactly what happened ^^'

I thought I'd restored all of them, but apparently not...

After combing through the project (not manually though, but by searching the string <event eventtype="7" enumb="25"> in the entire project with Notepad++) , it appears that the following objects are affected. Some of these I've seen, some I haven't, or maybe haven't paid attention:

• objAA1BossLaser
• objAAFutureBack
• objAALampLight
• objArrowChild
• objArrowParent
• objBigBombBadnik
• objDDFallingPlatformSpawed
• objDDLeaf
• objEggWalker
• objFallingLogVanish
• objFallingPlatform
• objFFDropSpike
• objFinalBossFireball
• objFinalBossLaser
• objFireball
• objFireFlyLightShot
• objGalanikEyeShine
• objHiddenSpring
• objInvisiblePlatform
• objMetallixLaser
• objMetallixPlatform
• objMetalSonicCharge
• objOstrichDibris
• objPaddleTop
• objPPBossDisapearPlatform
• objPPGalanikLaser
• objRingDroppedFinalBoss
• objRoboRex
• objShieldWind
• objSpark
• objSquibot
• objSSMessages
• objSSPlayer
• objSSRingFly
• objVV1BossShield

I did a first pass, removing the events and putting the old code back from master, but I might have missed some. I'll do a second pass later, using Meld to compare these objects.

[AlexKhayrullin]

Second pass done.

Will now test all these objects to make sure they flash in-game.

Fun fact: objAALampLight has never been flashing due to a bug. Once fixed, the coded flashing that made the alpha go between 1 and 0.5 was too distracting, so I dialed it back to 0.75-0.5

[AlexKhayrullin]

Tested all those I could, I have a feeling like objGalanikEyeShine isn't actually used. All other objects are fixed and confirmed to be working.
