hello there

i have a strange error msg. the first time i start testing a map it throws a error msg that the anchor frame $parent/$parent/ControlGroupPanel could not be found for Inventory tooltip. the next time the error is gone.
i am using this anchor several times in other frames and there are no error msges.

Does parent/parent/whatever mean that it goes up 2 levels of inheritance (to the grand parent) and then gets the item whatever for the anchor position?

Just because it works does not mean it is not broken. It might only error once (when the UI is loaded) but keeps not working. Just when it is not working it works good enough to pass that it is working.

It could also be a preload problem where it tries to do something before the game loads the files (which is fixed on future tests as the files are cached to load faster).

yes the $parent goes back one level to the parent item.
<hello>
<world2>
</world2>
<world>
<test>
</test>
</world>
</hello>

so if the current node is "test" $parent/$parent is "hello" and $parent/$parent/world2 is what i do (it works) but it shows this error msg.

so if it is a preload error there is nothing i can do about (i guess)

--------------------------Update SOLVED------------------------------

i still had a layoutfile imported using the same frame (quite old map lol)
