Event Editor Icon question

[kungsangun]

In the past my object icons (especially buttons) in the event editor where miniture versions of the actual buttons but now they are displayed as the default picture (little mountains?)
How can I change this back?

Also what does the conditons in [color:#FF0000]RED[/color] text signify?

The red ones are Immediate Events.

Normally, MMF loops through the events from top to bottom (look at the List View - this shows you the order MMF processes them in normally). When it comes to a standard condition, it tests it, and fires the actions one after the other.

With *immediate* conditions (the red ones), it's a little different.

MMF senses the trigger for that event (for example, a key is pressed). Then, instead of waiting for MMF to plough through the whole event list, it tests the 'on key' events immediately.

You can change the colour of these conditions in the Preferences (I prefer blue, cos I find red hard to read). You also need to have these immediate conditions at the top of any other conditions in that event. They won't be coloured if they're not the first condition - showing that they won't be tested when MMF senses the trigger.

e.g. This is fine:
[color:#FF0000]Start of Frame[/color]
Global Value A = 12

e.g. This is NOT:
Global Value A = 12
Start of Frame

Immediate events also still preserve the order you placed them in in the event list. So if you have several 'On Key' events, they'll be executed in the order you specified in the event list.

I'm certain there was an article about this, but I can't actually find the tutorial page. Hope this helps.
