Global Events with Groups?

When I tried to put my code to use as a global event, I noticed when adding in objects, there is no way to add the objects associated with groups. (example: group.player, group.weapon, group.bullets, group.collectibles, group.enemies)

Some of my codes are associated with groups so that I can add more than one player, and using more than one collectible. However, some of my frames of my game will contain the same exact same code. I don't want to have to keep copying/pasting the same code over to a new frame. So if there was a way to make my platform engine code as global (with group objects in tact), I wouldn't have to worry about copy/pasting the same exact code over to another frame, right? But It seems I can't do that since my code contains objects associated with groups.

So if I update my platform/players code in one stage, it seems like I have to update it for the other stages to keep the game engine the same. Otherwise there will be noticeable differences if I forget to update the code in some of the stages.

So I'm wondering if there is a possible way around this? Or do all my platform engine codes have to stay in their own frames?

Don't quote me, but I seem to recall this being an issue that people wanted fixed. I can't remember if clickteam said it was on their list of things to do or not however.

Hopefully someone with more knowledge will answer your question.

If it is changed it won't happen before MMF3 :(

Well man.... This would really help a lot if they added support for groups for global events.

Also, don't know if this is a software glitch or not, kind of off topic, but it is a reply in regards to the last 2 posts.
If you are in the event list editor (the one where you can see every part of your code in details) inserting a group of events have been greyed out. Seems you can't add a group events unless you are in the regular Event Editor.

Correct you can't do that in the event list editor.

People ask for this pretty frequently... it's been a bug since global events and qualifiers were introduced that you can't use them together. It's one of the main reasons I stopped using MMF. I wish they would at least add a simple workaround.
