strange count alterable value.

[piki]

hi

i was about to give an object , few alterable values, and the first 2 are ok, i reneamed them and gave them values and they are working well, but when it comes to the alterable number 3..it count's very strange..lets say i gave it the value of 7 and i coded line like this "eatch time there is a coliision between this object and anothere, subtract 1 from alt value 3" and insted of sub only 1..it sub 3 what the hell is going on ?
anyone?

p.s-i know that the first 2 are working fine casue i gave counter the value's so i can detect how it goe's.

Hmm, what exactly do you name your alterable values?

Multiple collision events can be called at the same time if it collides with many objects, make sure that this isn't the problem.
Otherwise you could upload the file so that we can take a look to find out what's wrong.

thanks for very fast reply

i named it like this:

"hits"
or
"enemy hits"
and the third i used the default
"alterable value c"

the ditection is for the enemy bullets that hit's an explosive and eatch bullet sub 1 and when alterable val=x then explode ...

so is this what you call Multiple collision events? btw..i have two kinds of bullets and i am going to do anothere one.

p.s..i tested the problem with one kind of bullets (disabled the othere) and the problem was still there.

If an object collides with multiple other objects at the same time the event will be triggered multiple times.
Make sure that only one bullet is created so that there isn't 3 bullets hitting the explosive at the same time.
Or, if the bullet has a Disappearing animation it might be on screen long enough to collide 3 times before it is completely removed.

ok..i think the problem was that few bullet objects hited the explosive at the same time..also i had to limit the condition to once when event loops
works fine now

thanks guys
