I have a couple of very simple events that are not working and it is becoming very frustrating! The events are:
'Detector' is over 'Character' > Make 'Character' visible.
'Detector' is NOT over 'Character' > Make 'Character' invisible.
When I run the application, the characters that are supposed to be invisible are invisible and the characters that are supposed to be visible are visible, however, when 'Detector' is moved from one 'Character' to another 'Character' the 'Character' that is no longer being overlapped by 'Detector' will not become invisible until 'Detector' is not overlapping any 'Characters' at all.
So it's like half the events effect each character individually and the other half effect the characters as a group. It doesn's make sense to me. Can anyone help me?

Switch the overlapping conditions to 'Character' is over 'Detector'. The first object in the comparison is the one for which the selection is performed, not the second. Tell me if that fixed it.

Alonso's example should work.
He already kinda explained it. MMF is testing for when the detector overlaps ANY of the character objects because you have the detector set as the selector. When MMF finds that the detector does overlap ANY of the Character objects, it selects all of the character objects. If you change it around, MMF will test your all of your characters for overlap with the single detector, so MMF will be able to work with the Character object independently instead of selecting all of them.
If it doesn't, this is something else you might want to try.
("Character") Flag = 0; Make Character invisible.
Flag = 1; Make Character visible.
Character overlaps Detector; Set ("Character") Flag = 1.
NEGATE Character overlaps Detector; Set ("Character") Flag = 0.

I had this exact problem once and the answer was what Alonso suggests. I wasted months on the bug, and then I got an answer via these forums.
