I renamed values A, B, and C to seconds, minutes and hours. Yet in the event editor, you cannot use the these alterable values anymore, i ended up calling them seconds1, minutes1 and hours1 to get it to work. Why is this? And what other words can't you use?

MMF uses those words as if they weren't alterable values, because it makes the expressions in the event editor, cleaner and easier to understand. If you know MMF well enough, you should know what can and cant be used. For example, just using X or Y wouldn't be a good idea, because we know that MMF uses those for X & Y positions of objects... Common since will keep you from running into alterable value name issues. http://www.facebook.com/truediamondgame
