The title explains it enough, for some reason when you specifically snap the candies, instead of disappearing they turn into unknown element. (the "?")
There's a possibility that some other items may also have broken snapping action, but I haven't checked everything yet.
EDIT: just realized that I swapped frames in the image file, but I think you'll still get the idea.
EDIT2: Actually, WHAT THE HECK, snap just spawns "?" even if you just snap the air. Holy moly...

what level are you playing? it's possible that the level wasn't parsed correctly and resulted in an invalid element being used as the designated "spawn this when rockford snaps" elementTheOnyxGuy wrote: ↑Fri Dec 27, 2024 6:12 pmEDIT2: Actually, WHAT THE HECK, snap just spawns "?" even if you just snap the air.

My goodness, that was actually my error, my bad. I completely forgot that at some moment I changed player's snap to non-BD element months ago for no particular reason and completely forgot about that.
Here it is just for context, by the way, with no particular reason.

Are you 100 % sure that you have added this snap element by yourself? Because, somebody just told me that an unintended snap element suddenly showed up after changing level specific colors in a level using the BD engine.
I would be happy to know if there is a program bug, or if this was just caused by accidentally adding such an element manually....

Honestly, just as you mentioned, I'm not so sure... Perhaps it might be just a result of level conversion between versions. That specific level was made in one of prereleases (don't remember which exactly), but I do remember briefly messing with snap element, but pretty sure I cancelled that progress right immediately and just left without changes. Whatever the case, I guess that might be a possibility.

OK, there was indeed a bug involved! With the current version 4.4.0.0, when loading a native BD level and just saving it (which is then written in R'n'D level format), the BD player's snap element is set to "Supaplex Terminal" by error!
Just fixed that.

Funny enough, in my case it's the degree char. I assume it rather pulls item value from some unrelated address or perhaps randomly picks an element. I don't really know.
