Error with namespace linking

Hiya,

I get some weird errors with setting up classes for my entities. I have the super class "Entity" and the classes "Obstacle", "Player" and so on. I get the following errors when running my game:

Error, cannot unlink namespace parent linkage for Entity for t2dAnimatedSprite.
Error: cannot change namespace parent linkage for Entity from t2dAnimatedSprite to t2dStaticSprite.

For each obstacle I have in my level. The obstacles are static sprites alright, most other entities are animated sprites. Is that a problem? And if so, how do I fix it? Do I have to make obstacles as animated sprites even though they are just static(boulders, trees and so on)?

I've been getting around that problem by using config datablocks and setting the class and/or superclass there.

I'm doing the same. :/

Right now I deleted all FULL image blocks that need to be entities and recreated them to be a 1x1 CELLed image of which I created a still animation that I use for my entities. Not nice but I hope this will work...

Somewhere the wires are getting crossed. It appears you're trying to assign a class associated with a static sprite to an animated sprite. Or perhaps the other way around, those messages can be cryptic without any context ;)

Usually that's when the engine complains about a class being assigned to two different types of objects, like Ben has said.
