Another bug- sentries not showing

Help
,
1

Before you ask, I’ve read through posts (yes the one that’s at the top too) and tried those suggestions, but they didn’t help and neither post is solved.
So basically, today my sentries started not showing up.
It just happened a couple minutes ago, and I can’t get them to be normal again.
They are all above the floor normally and were working a few minutes ago.
I’ve refreshed several times, deleted and replaced them, restarted my computer, basically anything I can think of.

If y’all have a way to get past this (I need the sentry for my platformer, removing them doesn’t count), it would be greatly appreciated.
Also I can still not email Gimkit so if somebody wants that to happen do it for me.

This happened to me recently, too.
They showed up at first, then they didn’t show up.
What I did was replace them, but that didn’t work either, until after replacing them about 15 times.

15 times? Guess I’ll have to get to work.

Yeah. They also don’t show up at ALL if you use camera points.
They probably won’t show up if there’s a barrier behind them as well, as they naturally are on the below layer and there’s this bug where even if you have them on the above layer they still won’t be above things in the layers below in-game.

Camera points? What about camera views? I just added those…

They usually show up with camera views.

oh, sometimes recently I’ve been loading into maps and thing have disappeared even though I’m certain I pressed save. Maybe email Gimkit; that’s what I did.

Oh right. sorry. Well, when I emailed them, they said to try a hard refresh, and also asked when it happened and whether it’d happened before.

I have a reload key, it’s just a reload symbol.
However, if you reload a gimkit game that you are hosting the link automatically expires when you leave the site, so that won’t work

Update:
Tried again several times today, still won’t show. Has anybody emailed Gimkit for me? Does anybody have any more suggestions? If so, I’d like to hear them (even though I won’t be on to test them tonight, I probably can tomorrow or Monday if I’m online).

I can’t email Gimkit on an administrated computer, how far have you gotten in your map? This happened to me with sentries and text, and one of them I completely had to redo the map…
Sorry this happened.

Do you have inventory slots enabled? Sentries can disappear when there are none.

Do you have barriers under them? Maybe delete the terrain? Maybe if they still go through the terrain place terrain a meter or two under the terrain they must stay on? Maybe do the same thing with barriers?

That might be it, I did recently deactivate that, let me check.

It worked! Thank you so much Slim!
