MMF2 acting kind of strange

[JoOCoGames]

I made my own movement up in my game which is pretty simple

+Repeat While LEFT key is pressed down
-Set player's X position x(player)-5

and so forth, and so with collisions I set it up as

+Repeat While LEFT key is pressed down
+Collision between player and tree
--Set player's X position x(player)-5

Anyway I thought I'd show how I did that in case something's wrong with the way I setup my movement, but the problem is the first time I set the collision command in they run perfect and so I did a whole bunch of other commands and needed to have my player once again stop when he collides with something and so I put in the same commands, just different object"instead of a tree, it was a wall" and when I played,my character would hit the object and it would shove the camera up a bit.

I rechecked my work and retried it and it still gave me the same problem, so I then decided to go back to where I originally had the collision with tree command and put it in right after tried it, and it worked perfect.

After writing a short story on this:sleep:I get to my question, Why does it seem like MMF is having a problem reading my command when its way at the bottom compared to when its higher up on the list or even next to the command that's pretty close to the same?

Shouldn't that be:
+Repeat While LEFT key is pressed down
+player is overlapping tree
--Set player's X position x(player)+5
?

opps yea it should be I just mistyped it in there, but overlapping gives me problems and i prefer collides with, but the main idea about the thread was why would the code only work when its next to the original collision code and and not when its later in the coding? I hope that makes sense

[Dynasoft]

It would work fine, unless there is some other code between it that undoes it.

[JoOCoGames]

That's probably what it is and i'll have to just recheck all my coding. thanks

The way you are doing it is not very good really.

Ideally you want to use fastloops for your collisions.

I made a video turorial a while ago, it's a bit drawn out but at the end it demonstrates how to do it.
