you know how you get a default black map when running your game? well i added a new map and my character ISNT on it, its instead on the black map. ill attach a download to my game

Attach all your code next time otherwise we cant really test whats happening in your game.

Seems to me that you need to move player.anim:draw call after the gameMaps:drawLayer calls. Otherwise the map layers will be drawn over the player.
