Key object tendency to run first?

[dudeman129]

I'm trying to do something like

1 Always
2		Set Alterable Value A to 0.
3 Key Object: On key (Alterable Value B) pressed
4		Set Alterable Value A to 1.
5 Alterable Value A = 1
6		finish.

But for some reason, finish is never run. Through various tests I have come to the conclusion that MMF is running lines 3 and 4 before 1 and 2. It appears to work if I put in the actual key number instead of alterable value b, though.

Is line 3 red?

If it is, that means it's an immediate condition.

That would indeed be the problem. Now, is there a solution besides putting lines 1 and 2 at the very end of the code?

[RickyRombo]

You could have line 3 trigger line 6

[dudeman129]

Naturally that was an extremely simplified version of the code. There's a whole bunch of stuff that has to go before that, 'If Alt Val A = 1 and some other condition' stuff, etc.

[RickyRombo]

Well I think it will work if you don't use a value. It seems that you only want it to run right when the key is pressed, which is why I think that adding that condition to the other event would be alright.

Repeat While Key Pressed + Only One Action on Event Loop

He needs to get the key dynamically, I assume, or he wouldn't be using the key object.

Yay, it works! Thanks, LB.
