Difference between OR (filtered) and OR (logical)?

[Na]

What is the difference between OR (filtered) and OR (logical)?

I'm making an action where I want an action to be performed when four different keys are pressed (not simultaneously).

To be more specific:
Upon pressing Z
OR
Upon pressing X
OR
Upon pressing C
OR
Upon pressing V
+While animation "flying" is playing for "Normal"
THEN etc.

Will pressing any one of those keys perform the same action? And would it perform the same action as with OR (Logical)?

Same question, same answer:

Oliver, that thread is about a bug specific to "Object: On collision with other object" inside filtered OR. I don't think it answer's Na's question.

Na, that last line "While animation .." will only be tested for "Upon pressing V" and not the other keys. Is that what you wanted?

OR filtered and OR logical only work differently when the different sides of the OR don't work with the same objects. A filtered OR will only run actions for objects that passed conditions relating to them, a logical OR will treat an object that's not tested at all as needing actions run for all of them.
This is easier to understand with an example:
A overlaps background
OR (filtered)
B overlaps background
-Destroy A
-Destroy B
-Destroy C

is equivalent to:
A overlaps background
-Destroy A
-Destroy C
B overlaps background
-Destroy B
-Destroy C

(i.e. A and B are only destroyed if they pass their own condition. C is always destroyed because it has no condition)

A overlaps background
OR (logical)
B overlaps background
-Destroy A
-Destroy B
-Destroy C

is equivalent to:
A overlaps background
-Destroy A
-Destroy B
-Destroy C
B overlaps background
-Destroy A
-Destroy B
-Destroy C

(i.e. If the A overlap check passes, then all B will be destroyed, the same as if it was two separate events with the exact same actions)

Upon pressing Z
+While animation "flying" is playing for "Normal"
OR
Upon pressing X
+While animation "flying" is playing for "Normal"
OR
Upon pressing C
+While animation "flying" is playing for "Normal"
OR
Upon pressing V
+While animation "flying" is playing for "Normal"

(or's are filtered)

I was actually refering to Fimbul's post, but I could have been more accurate.
To make all the events to work the same by using OR, all the conditions must be repeated (see danjo's post above).

And it could also work without using OR. I would personally code it that way:

• Upon pressing Z
+ While animation "flying" is playing for "Normal"
   - //perform action

• Upon pressing X
+ While animation "flying" is playing for "Normal"
   - //perform action

• Upon pressing C
+ While animation "flying" is playing for "Normal"
   - //perform action

• Upon pressing V
+ While animation "flying" is playing for "Normal"
   - //perform action
