Loop question

[maVado]

I was wondering if anyone else notice this because I just never thought that it would make a difference:

Let's imagine the following:

Start of Frame
- spread value 0 in ID(active)
- active group "loop"

[group loop]
On group activation
- start loop "mapping" for number of objects(active) times

On loop "mapping"
+ loopindex "mapping" = ID(active)
- write value 1 to array at X/Y(active)/32 Z0

This would write value 1 into the array at the X/Y position of all actives divided by 32 (I use a 32x32 grid)

However if I use:
"compare two general values" - it will only work for one object
"compare to alt value of active" - it will work for all objects

In the Editor both events looks identical until you double click them. How come that there is a difference, I thought both would be the same for:
+ loopindex "mapping" = ID(active)

How come that one has a reference and the other fail to reference the object? Huh?

It just took me an hour to figure out what was going wrong ...

The alterable value looks first for that value the alterable value should be, and selects, while the compare two general values doesn't select it so every time it does the check for the same one even though the loop index changed.

I think. Don't quote me.

Compare two general values I believe returns a true/false value only and does not allow you to select individual instances of an object. So if ANY of your objects match the condition, then it returns a TRUE meaning that all objects have the event applied.
Whereas when you select from the value of an object directly, that filters them all and selects only the objects that the condition is true for.
