I'm in the dreaded "I need to detect a collision between an active and a copy of active" situation. Anyone have an idea on how to rectify this situation?

Hey John, long time no see! Would you be able to share some details about the setup? Solutions can be a bit different depending on what you're doing.

I'm having this same issue myself D: The closest I've got to fixing it is, for one: using spread values, loop index, and ID's. Then on the loop, compare the 2 object ID's and make sure they are different, not equal. Worth a shot.

Long time no see indeed! My internet was shut off for a while, so I've neglected appearing here.
Anyways, the situation is I have an area that needs have objects appear randomly upon it, but they shouldn't touch each other, and putting them on a grid doesn't make it look random enough. All the objects basically start off as 80x80 squares, that once the set up is finished they all change into the form that they need to be in. I set it up to say at the start of the frame start a loop 10+Random(10) times. On each of those loops, it creates a square, puts the value of the loop in an value on the square and sets it to random position in a zone (regardless of whether it will collide with another square or not). After that, the script checks to see if a flag is off, if it is, it sets it on and starts a loop that executes as many times as there are squares. Then during each loop it checks to see if the previously entered value equals the loop index, and there it should do a check to see if it collides with another square. If it does, it turns the flag off again and breaks the loop. after all of it, there is a check to see if the flag is still on, if it is, it start the morph phase (which works).

Here are two examples that I made in 07 and 08 that show you how to differentiate between duplicates. Basically it's a matter of saving their fixed ID somewhere and retrieving it later:
Follow the active infront - all objects are the same, including the head:

When two duplicates overlap with the same Alt A they are both destroyed. (Mouse click to move, mouse over to see Alt A)

Ahah, I got it. The sad thing is that it was because I put it in a loop for some reason it was acting up.
I really like those examples you posted Andy, in fact the only code that I needed for this was square collides with square then pick one. That's it. I guess that when you tell MMF2 to pick an object during a loop, for some reason it just likes to skip that step? I don't know.
The one gripe I had was that since it isn't in a loop, there is always the chance of that awkward square(s) that cant seem to find a spot. To rectify this, each time a square bounced off of another square or invalid object (such as a backdrop) it add to a value. When that value reaches a certain point, it just destroys the square, and that is topped off by increasing the starting amount of squares.
Thanks a lot for the ideas and help.
