First of all I Am using MMF 1.5 and i am wondering is there a problem sometimes when you build the software?

Been getting some strange bugs when i build the software that dont show up when i test the game using f7 / f8.

things like movment not working, score not showing up, etc. after one or two tries at rebuilding the game normally these bugs go.

Also one bug which is on both the build and on the testing screen has me well *$%£ off!

I am creating objects off the play area then setting a random x position, then starting the objects movement and setting the speed depending on the level you are on.

The problem I am having is every once in awhile a rogue object is being created half way down the screen! Now it seems to have no pattern to which objects are going rogue < has been every object I have in game apart from one to date >, and why its doing it.

I have checked and double checked my code and cant seem to find why every now and then i get this rogue object happening.

to make matters worse it doesnt happen all the time, some play tests it doesnt show up, other times you can get 3-4 rogue objects in a few mins.

So is this likley to be bad coding or a fault with MMF 1.5 or have I just not seen the mistake

thanks for any help

First of all, what version of MMF 1.5 do you have?

If youve just installed MMF from the cd and thats it, go to clickteams website and download the latest patch/update. The newest version will remove a lot of small bugs in MMF.

If you do use the newest it is rather strange, and has most likely something to do with your code, maybe the order of the events or maybe an action not supposed to be there hidden somewhere (eg. from a copy paste operation where you forgot to remove it).

Ive got build 117 which I still think is the newest version, just go visit clickteam to get the update. No one should be without it.
