Hello I have been struggling for a couple of hours with a problem, which is that if I change the identity of an actor with the line
 actor = Game.LoadActor("actors/r1/r1.actor");
initially everything seems to be fine, the new actor appears, and moves around, however the scrolling of the screen stops, after much trial and error I discovered you had to put in the line

Game.MainObject = actor;

is there an explanation for this behaviour in that the association of Game.MainObject is established in Game.script.

Since you can have many actors in your scene, but the camera can only focus on one of them, you need to specify which one using the Game.MainObject property. When you destroy the actor, this reference becomes invalid and you need to assign a new one.
