'restrict actions' bug

[moomoo]

sorry if this has been reported already, i did do a search but nothing came up.

the 'restrict actions for...' action seems to be borked.. when i create an object at the mouse coordinates while the mouse key is pressed, they are created at the same rate without a restrict action as they are with 'restrict for' 25 milliseconds. it seems to work from 30 up only. is this a bug or is it because of some new feature by any chance?

thanks.

What do you mean 'Ristrict Event' 30mil seconds? - Don't you mean every 30mil seconds?

So what your saying is:
Usermouse down+
Every 30mil seconds-
Create OBJECT Mousex, Mousey
End-

no, not every. under Special, limit conditions. 'restrict actions'.

I've noticed the bug, too. It's been in Click products for a long time. For short durations, "Every ____ 1/100ths of a second" works better than Restrict Actions. There is a small semantic difference (Restrict Actions starts a timer after the first time the condition is true, while Every starts the timer at the beginning of the frame), but it's generally not noticable at less than 0.3 seconds.

thanks. i never noticed it in mmf 1.5. i guess you're right and it cant really be noticed at less than .3 seconds.
