Double event

[FlinkGigitty]

I have a Mario game, and sometimes Mario jumps into two boxes at once or on two enemies at once. This seems to make some bugs in my game. If Mario jumps on and kills two enemies at once, a random enemy somewhere else loses his movement abilities and gets stuck in spot. If I jump into a box that creates a coin, only one of the boxes creates a coin and most likely, only one of the boxes will give coin credit. Also if I jump into breakable boxes, I have made a start loop event, and creates a lot of "box pieces" with pinball movement. If I jump into two of these at once, one of them will follow the event properly and create random pieces around, while the other will shoot the pieces super fast and with no gravity in the selected directions. Is it an easy way to prevent all this?

PS: What is the easiest way to delete an object when its not overlapping another object anymore? My enemies have a square they follow around (Always: set position at 0.0 from this square) but then I want this enemy object to be destroyed when its not overlapping anything anymore. Suggestions??

I don't know what is the best solutions in your game, but what I use to do to make sure a loop is creating particles on the correct enemy / box, is to store the target object's fixed value in a counter. Then in the loop, I find the object with that value.

This way I am sure that there is always only one target.

You could use this tecnhique to remove the detector square as well.
You could also have an extra condition and action when you kill the enemy:
+ Player kills Enemy
+ Square is overlapping Enemy
- Destroy Enemy
- Destroy Square

If you want it to work fine with multiple things at once you could do some ForEach loops here and there and it can work fine

Do you mean like having two similar events?

I also use ForEach loop on the coin boxes already.. And its not really helping :p But I think I have another unprofessional idea. Do you have an easy way to destroying everything thats not overlapping a certain object anymore?

Doesn't this work?
You know you can negate conditions, right?

* [Negate] Object 1 is overlapping Object 2
- Object 1: Destroy

Another approach:
* Always:
- Object 1:Set flag 0 off

* Object 1 is overlapping Object 2
- Object 1: Set flag 0 on

* Object 1: Flag 0 is off
- Object 1: Destroy

I am familiar to the fourth selection on the right click menu, called Negate. The problem is, the object is not destroyed before none of the objects are overlapping anything anymore.

But the second seems to work! It will take some time, but I believe its the best way to prevent double events from happening! Thanks a lot

Edit: I forgotten to share my idea, so that didnt make much sense I guess. I have squares as enemies, with an enemy animation following it around. I replace this square with a church-formed 6-edged square thing, so that Mario will just hit this "church tower", while he is still a few pixels above the lower part on the enemy next to him. I guess I can use this technique on the boxes aswell, so that he just hits one box at a time.

Ok I BADLY need a working event now, that works even if the player overlaps too many.

Look at the amount of green squares, and the score of player 1. What would you guys do to fix this?
