Therefore, seemingly no reason for there to be no floaty shits

Does void.png at least spawn?

[THEkatinamicrowave]

random but I decided to check the logs during this
I trace square when the function runs and I found that it is, in fact, making the square
it seems that the issue is it not appearing visually
any ideas? let me know

[r6915ee]

I'm guessing it might just be the random values pushing away the square. I'm not exactly sure, the code looks like it's doing what it's supposed to.

[THEkatinamicrowave]

good idea
I'll test getting rid of the random values and see if that works

[THEkatinamicrowave]

bro.............. the problem was that I was using add() instead of FlxG.state.add()............ 🤦🏻‍♂️ whatever it works now

Now that's something I wouldn't have expected. It's good that it works now, though.

[THEkatinamicrowave]

I guess the real issue now is... why wasn't it adding to the FlxState in the first place?

[r6915ee]

I have zero clue myself.
