Puzzles are gone !

Hi,

Thanks for the report, this is a bug and we will fix it in the next verge3d update.

I don’t even know if the shadow part is important and should not be removed, but maybe put somewhere else…

You did right, that shadow block appears due to the bug and shouldn’t even be there. It also crashes the puzzles editor, so the editor stops loading the rest of the puzzles – they are not completely gone, they just won’t load until such shadow blocks are removed manually.

So now i’m affraid of lose them again, since i don’t know why this shadow thing came here, and what i did wrong the first time.

This bug affects certain puzzles, for example add_annotation. That puzzle has an option to show/hide an additional input slot called “name”. That input slot also contains a placeholder block (or a shadow block). After some manipulations that include showing/hiding the input slot and plugging in and out a regular block from that slot you can make the placeholder block orphan. This means that the block disconnects from its parent and becomes a top-level block – such configuration is not supported and crashes the editor.

So, if you want to avoid this bug until the next verge3d update comes out, I’d suggest to pay attention to the puzzles that can show/hide additional input slots (the ones with the gear button). And if such input slot has a placeholder block then don’t plug regular blocks into it and just use the existing placeholder block if you need to change its value.
