Oke, I'm making a beatemup game. For the enemy i have 3 objects : enemy,shadow,shadow detector.(im using tgf btw)
events of interest :
+Always
- xpos(shadow) to xpos(enemy)
- set position(detector) to 0,30 from (enemy)

+(enemy)flag 0=on
- xpos(shadow) to xpos(enemy)

+always
+(enemy)flag 0=off
+(enemy) animation hit isn't playing
- set position(shadow) to 0,40 from (enemy)

Players can upperslash the enemy and then the enemy goes in the air, flag 0=on enemy goes in air, flag 0=off enemy is on the ground.

When i copy the enemy (+ the shadow and detector), it all turns in a mess : all shadows and detectors go to one enemy.

Then i tryed spreading value thing
I added these events:
+start of level
- start loop 0 for 2 loops(start loop(enemy) for (numberenemies)loops)
- start loop 1 for 2 loops(start loop(shadow)for (numberenemies)loops)
- start loop 2 for 2 loops(startloop(detector)for(numberenemies)loops)

+on loop 0
- spread value 0 in value B (enemy) (value A was already taken.)

+on loop 1
- spread value 0 in value A (shadow)

+on loop 2
- spread value 0 in value A (detector)

and changed the old events to:
+valueB(enemy)=valueA(shadow)
+valueB(enemy)=valueA(detector)
- xpos(shadow) to xpos(enemy)
- set position(detector) to 0,30 from (enemy)

+(enemy)flag 0=on
+valueB(enemy)=valueA(shadow)
+valueB(enemy)=valueA(detector)
+valueB(enemy)=valueB(enemy)
- xpos(shadow) to xpos(enemy)

+always
+(enemy)flag 0=off
+(enemy) animation hit isn't playing
+valueB(enemy)=valueA(shadow)
+valueB(enemy)=valueA(detector)
+valueB(enemy)=valueB(enemy)
- set position(shadow) to 0,40 from (enemy)

but it still isn't working, 1 of the 2 enemies work (when i add more, only 1 works every time) when i upperslash the enemie on the working one the other shadows go to this enemie too. When i hit and not working enemie the shadow goed to the only working one :S help...

 
Oh sweet mary.

Agh, no! It's NOT necessary to use fastloops to spread values! Didn't we already cover that?

Why do you alternate in using the spellings "enemy" and "enemie" ?!

"For the enemy i have 3 objects"
"when i upperslash the enemie"

.. anyway I didn't bother reading all your code but try not to use fastloops and use .. alterable values or something? Or a counter. Yeah ok - that was brief.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't you be spreading a value of 1?
The logic I'm thinking behind value spreading is the first object will have the value 1, the next one 2, the next one 3 etcetera. With 0 this would become 0, 0, 0, 0... Right?

No, it's the number it should start from.

So if you spread value 0, it would do it like: 0,1,2,3,4,5...
And if you spread value 1: 1,2,3,4,5...

Always worth a shot, I say.

I see that you're setting the shadow's positions multiple times in multiple events. You also do that once in an event in which it isn't clear which of the enemies you're talking about, so that could make the things go wrong.

What about removing the following, seemingly useless part?
+(enemy)flag 0=on
+valueB(enemy)=valueA(shadow)
+valueB(enemy)=valueA(detector)
+valueB(enemy)=valueB(enemy)
-xpos(shadow) to xpos(enemy)

And remove the positioning of the shadow objects at all events, placing it only at the following part?
+valueB(enemy)=valueA(shadow)
+valueB(enemy)=valueA(detector)

I havn't bothered to read all your code, but why do you have

+(enemy)flag 0=on
- xpos(shadow) to xpos(enemy)

when you have that in the always even above it anyway???

If you have MMF2, you can group your code, and password protect the code you don't want to show.

Techno, if you don't trust people, you could just make a new app with some blocky graphics and put the events in there, then show THAT to us.
