Swapping objects in event editor -> bugs

[Leander]

I just found out that you can swap objects in the event editor. I then ordered players, enemies, neutral objects, powerups...and put them into folders.

How save is this? MMF2 adds events on its own. I definitely did NOT include a "pathmovement -> reverse" when the player fires an object. After swapping the order of objects this event was there.

Some other strange things occured as well.

I have never encountered any problem rearranging the objects or putting them into folders.

Did you happen to use the commands to replace one object with another? I don't use that often so perhaps thats where a problem is happening?

I loaded an unordered backup with the same mistake. Rearranging the objects did not cause this error. Still I cannot remember to add this "reverse" event as it makes no sense.

Something different:

Player 1 presses button 1. A bomb is created at 0/0 of player 1. The speed of the bomb is set to 40, the direction of the bomb is set to dir(player1). Movement start.

I copied this event and changed it to player 2 presses button 1...bomb is created at 0/0 of player 2 etc.
I replaced everything but still the bomb is just created but does not move. The events are identical except for the replacement of player 1 by player 2.

I had similar problems some days ago. An object did not work although the code was correct. I deleted the object...created it again, added the same lines again and then it worked although everything had been the same before.

Why is that?

Most likely the order of your events... You probably set the speed and direction before the object is created. Double click on the action to see/change order.

Thanks Werbad! Wow, you saved my day.
