First of all, your whole system is messy, you have 2 of the exact same conditions, just to house 2 different actions. Save the space, put the actions in the same condition.



Ok, I hope this makes sense, so I'll explain why you're method is not working...
You are saying whenever a global value equals something to create hair/eyes. 5 seconds into the game you don't need to be still making hair and eyes. Add Start of frame to every comparison of Global Values.

Also, do us all a favor, and combine those actions like I said before, that is one mess that could be compressed into 1/4 the size.

i understand the first part but how do i combine the 2 action. can you please supply and example

??? You've been registered since 12-11-07 and you did not know that you could have more than one action per condition?!??!
Just create another action on top of an action! Have you even done any tutorials at all?!?!?

No need to be hostile, Eliyahu. Just because someone has been registered since 2007 doesn't mean they have used MMF2 that long.

I apologize, but I think it seems obvious that you can "layer" actions as most of the tutorials and examples on this site do that, and I am led to believe that the OP has some form of guidance. We also must knock this into his head because if he were to move onto a larger program/game, and made the same mistake, looking through his file would be torture. Making it neat and easy to view not only helps YOU view it, but it helps US if you ever need help, so we can easily see how you did it.

I agree. Just remember that we are here to help, no matter how easy the answer might seem to us.
