Hi!
I am making a custom platform movement engine and have run into a problem. Say I am using this detector which is initally placed over a backdrop.
Then I have the event:
*Always
+detector is not overlapping background
+detector is not overlapping group 0
+detector is not overlapping group 1
Still this event occurs at start of level. If I add a "timer is greater than 1 sec" it doesnt happen. why? The detector is as I said placed over a backdrop from start!
the question is: why does mmf executes this events associated action sometime within the first second of the frame even though the detector is overlapping a backdrop.
Strange...I don't have the same problem, even if I try it in a frame chock-full of events and actives. Well, adding the condition 'timer is greater than 00:10', or anything similar, should sort it out (I'm usually adverse to using the timer, but there's no reason why that shouldn't work). You don't need the 'always' condition, btw - that would just be used for an event all on its own.

Have you made sure your background is an obstacle?
If so, try changing the order of the events. Always never needed.
Also, TGF (and possibly mmf) has a few problems with qualifiers and groups, so make sure you have the latest build.

yea, and make sure there always is a object in play from each group. If a group doesn't exist (temporarily) and you have a collision event with that group, it will think the group is overlapping it all the time.
