Known issues with looping through objects?

[GWGord]

I've done some searching and haven't found anything helpful, unfortunately.
I'm trying to loop through objects to assign each one a value, but the loop only executes once. It works perfectly that one time, assigning the value to one object, but the rest get nothing.
On loop "loop"
MoveIndex of (object) = LoopIndex("loop")
(stuff is supposed to happen, only happens once)

It doesn't matter how many of the objects there actually are, only one is ever looped through.

Make sure you have a Spread Value Action somewhere. And it mustn't be in the same event as you start the loop.

Yeah, I have that in an "Always" group at the top of the code, forgot to mention that, sorry.

I think it's probably fastest to upload an example of this behaviour to the file archive - is it small enough to do that?

Otherwise, inspired guess - are you using the Object's "Compare to an alterable value" condition? The "Compare two general values" variant won't select an instance of that object.

try using this instead:

*Always:

=[Active Object]: Set Flag 0 Off

=[Active Object]: Set Flag 1 Off



*Always:

=Start Loop [Loop Name] for (Number of [Active Object]) loops



*On Loop: [Loop Name]

+[Active Object]'s Flag 0 is Off?

+Pick a [Active Object] at random

=[Active Object]: Set Flag 0 On

=[Active Object]y: Set Flag 1 On



*On Loop: [Loop Name]

+[Active Object] Flag 1 is On

(conditions go here)

(events go here)



*On Loop: [Loop Name]

=[Active Object]: Set Flag 1 Off

I just realized while I was posting to the file archive; the objects themselves are the source of data which is being written to an AGB object, but it's the looping behavior that's an issue here. I hope this doesn't muddy the waters any.

Here's the post in the file archive with sample uploaded.

Edit: Pixelthief, thanks, I'll have to give that a try too.
