complier stops at entering main loop

[neon]

i have been trying to run my game after i wrote the all the codes i needed. before i wrote ANY code i could easily run and test my game but now the complier just stops at "entering main loop"
and i cannot run the game.

If you are using a while loop anywhere it might be causing it. When using a while loop it wont run any other code till the loop is complete. So this code
while (i < 10)
{
i -= 1;
}

would run forever and force the game to hang.

Main way to tell if its something like that is do you have to hit the stop web server button to be able to launch the game again? Its next to the run the game and run the game with debug buttons.

Look for any loops and comment them out with /* at the start and using */ after the loop. Keep testing with all loops one at a time till the game starts working. If it works then that loop is some how running forever and you need to fix that. How to fix that is based on the loop that is causing it.

while(!place_meeting(x+sign(hsp),y,obj_solid))
{
x += sign(hsp);
}
hsp = 0;


while(!place_meeting(x,y+sign(vsp),obj_solid))
{
y += sign(vsp);
}
vsp = 0;
is there anything wrong with em?

The loops themself look fine but how are you using them?

Ok. Answer my first question. Once you attempt to run it and exit it do you have to press the stop web server button to try again?

Yes, sir!

Ok. Just comment the whole step event code from your player object.

//Get the player's input
key_right = keyboard_check(vk_right);
key_left = -keyboard_check(vk_left);
key_jump = keyboard_check_pressed(vk_space);

//React to inputs
move = key_left + key_right;
hsp = move * movespeed;
if (vsp < 10) vsp += grav;

if (place_meeting(x,y+1,obj_solid))
{
vsp = key_jump * -jumpspeed
}

//Horizontal Collision
if (place_meeting(x+hsp,y,obj_solid))
{
while(!place_meeting(x+sign(hsp),y,obj_solid))
{
x += sign(hsp);
}
hsp = 0;
}
x += hsp;

//Vertical Collision
if (place_meeting(y+vsp,y,obj_solid))
{
while(!place_meeting(x,y+sign(vsp),obj_solid))
{
y += sign(vsp);
}
vsp = 0;
}
y += vsp;

Found the error

hm?

[sandboxgod]

in the vertical collision section youre doing
if (place_meeting("y+vsp",y,obj_solid))
youre checking on the x axis with the y cordinate.
change it to
if (place_meeting(x,y+vsp,obj_solid))
that should work
