Problem with spread ID and object selection

[gum]

I have a constantly changing value A in an object (Variable holder"), allright?

And then there are 200 active objects ("Active") that each have a unique ID-number (Start of frame --> spread value 1 in ID).
When the active object gets selected (when it has the same ID as the changing value A), I want that very active object to do some stuff. I've tried it like this:

ID("Active") = value A("Variable holder") & Only one action when event loops --> Do stuff, Active!

I thought that the event would automaticly select the correct copy of "Active". It can only be true for one object at a time.

But it doesn't work. =/
Why?

Objects are only looped and selected if you're using a condition of that object:
"Compare to alt value" in your "object" will result in the matching "object"s being selected, and won't work as expected if you have more than one duplicate of any other object in the "expression" you're comparing against.
"Compare two general values" won't select any objects, and won't work as expected if you have more than one duplicate of any of the objects in either expression.

In conclusion: An object is only selected when using a condition that belongs to that object. Objects in an expression in a condition don't get looped through or selected.

EDIT: If the condition takes an object as a parameter, then it can select them as well. eg. the "is overlapping" condition selects both the objects involved, not just the one the condition belongs to.

I get it. Hmm. So what would be the solution here?

I got it working!

Almost.

The IDs are spread from the last object to the first (in the order they were duplicated) and not the other way around. Weird. Any reason for this?

Yes, to combat is simply use

Instead of:

+Alterable value a = value of selected
-bla bla bla


use:

+Number of objects-Alterable value a = value of selected
-bla bla bla

Yeah, that's the order they are in MMF's object list.

Duplicates created in the editor are in Z-order in the list, objects created at runtime are just added to it.

It works almost perfectly now. But there's still one thing that bugs me. I can't use the "only one action when event loops" thing, which makes it useless for a lot of stuff. Any way around it?
