Having a problem adding a certain animation

[Navana]

Currently I am trying to add a star animation to my stage, and for some reason, it isn't showing up.
Here is my code:

Hopefully I can get some assistance on this, thank you in advance.

Why is this in there?

That shouldn't be there at all. Are you editing stage0.def here? Your position is 0,0 that's top left, does that match with the alignments of your sprites.

Lastly, confirm you have actually given it a palette.

He used my stage tool without entering a name for the stage nor his author name.
The next piece of code indeed has nothing to do here.

I have no idea why you're using an ID to apply a simple velset... Try making the sprite appear with no velocity before going to more complex coding.

Or just comment all the fancy stuff out until you fix the problem.

Morrigan, if you send the stage to me I'll take a look at it and help you fix it.

Er since my name is changed right now, I'm Caddie and I've made like a billion stages.

[Cyanide]

nuuuuu, needs to learn to fix it themself. Fixing it for them, even if you tell them what was wrong doesn't help that much.

For this particular problem, even though I haven't gone over the coding thoroughly yet, I'm taking a wild guess and thinking that it's in the sff file. The only reason I offered to help that way this time is because that's a problem that is hard to fix over a forum.
