Alterable Value won't change when creating object

Hello.

I currently have a player object, a solid block object, and an empty block object.

My events look like this:
+ Player is overlapping solid block
- Create empty block at location of solid block
- Set Alterable Value A of empty block to 1
- Destroy solid block

This works when my player overlaps one solid block at a time, but when my player overlaps two at the exact same time, only one the empty block object that was created in the event will have their Alterable Value A set to 1.

Any ideas? I'm willing to post screenshots with more details if necessary.

Thanks

Thanks everyone for the suggestions.

I decided I would switch over to a different method of making these blocks and I'm met with a similar issue to the main one so again if you guys have some smart work-around that would be great! Should be a similar answer to the problem but I can't figure out how to apply it

Okay so now I have a solid block, an empty block, and a powerup.

My events look like:
+Player is overlapping solid block
-Create powerup at solid block location
-Create empty block at solid block location
-Destroy solid block
-Set empty block's Alterable Value Grav to -6

The empty block will constantly have 1 added to it's [Grav] value, and when [Grav < 0] the empty block will move up. When [Grav >= 0], the empty block will move back down. When [Grav = 6], the empty block will have Flag 0 turned on.

This is where the issue is.
+Powerup is overlapping empty block
+Flag 0 of empty block is On
-Sub 1 from Y Position of powerup

This works great, the player will hit a solid block, the solid block will become an empty block (and create a powerup in it's location) and bounce up then down, and when the empty block stops bouncing, the powerup will move up until it's out of the empty block.

Except if the player hits 1 solid block and then another one while the powerup is rising out of the first solid block hit, the second one will immediately rise, when it should only rise after the empty block has finished bouncing (meaning flag 0 of empty block is turned on).

If you don't understand and are willing to help, please let me know as I can provide an .mfa example. I understand if this is hard to follow.

Thanks

Sure thing Sparckman! Hopefully it will make things far easier to understand

I've commented it out as much as I felt necessary so that's a plus.

Here you go: Please login to see this link.

Any ideas? :o

Thanks Sparckman, although the problem is still there

I might have not explained it properly so here goes:

When the player hits a mushroom block, it bounces.

When it's finished bouncing, a mushroom comes out of it.

If the player hits a mushroom block and then hits another mushroom block as the mushroom is rising out of the first block, the second mushroom will come out right away WITHOUT waiting for it's block to finish bouncing.

It's only supposed to come out once the block it's inside of has FINISHED bouncing.

Thanks for the help though

Thanks!

I'm busy right now so I'll have to test it in my game tomorrow.

I see that the example you've made works using a bouncing animation instead of actually changing the position of the block, so hopefully I can do what your example has done only instead without using an animation to make the block bounce.

Hopefully I can figure it out using your example

Also if you're wondering why I prefer to move the object up and down instead of giving it an animation of moving up and down, it's because I'm trying to make my game as easy to modify as possible and the blocks that bounce will use a qualifier (this qualifier will make them move up and down when they're created), and I might want to add different empty block objects later on.

I feel it would be much easier for me to create new blocks with a bouncing empty block qualifier that will make them move up and down instead of having to give individual empty block with different animations their own bouncing animations.

Only takes a few seconds but again I want things to be as easy as possible

Darn, I can't seem to find something that works that isn't relying on me having to make an object bounce up and down using animations :pacman:

Any other ideas? I really appreciate you creating that example for me but I really need to make the bouncing work as a position changing rather than an animation.

Quote from Nicholas Martin

I fixed it using for each of two loops my friend. Hope this helps!

Thank you very much, that worked like a charm

I was able to get it running in my game without the "On each one of 'empty block', loop name "bonus up". May I ask why you included that? Just wondering because if there's much of a reason then I'll include it in my game.

Also thank you to everyone else who pitched me ideas X)
