Script not working in game but working in preview! help please

Forestgirl

I have this one script for a sprite to make it appear, wait for 3 seconds and then disappear. However, it doesn't work when i'm in the game, but it works when I click the script as a ‘preview’. Very confused why it doesn't work, so any help would be great! Thanks
(yeah i'm new to this)

It would work best if you uploaded it, so I can play around with the scripts.

How does your script differ from;

when flag clicked
show
wait (3) secs
hide

?

Maybe Eliza can help you decide?

ff it looks like

when I receive [some_event v] // some_event is whatever you call your event
show
wait (3) secs
hide

The problem is likely that you are continually broadcasting some_event. This causes the script to start over before the 3 seconds is up. This is of course assuming that “doesn;t work” means it shows, but doesn't hide.
