I pay little $ for a helper

[Outcast]

I am still new to mmf and often get stuck. Its very annoying and its often very small problems that are easy to fix. I wonder if anyone here have teamviewer and some messenger system like skype or msn. I find it very convinient to pay someone like 5$ or something per problem or question to go into teamviewer and fix the problem or show me so i can look and learn at the same time.

Maybe not huge money but i often need help :P And considering i am so new still it should often be very basic problems.

If you are interested add me on skype: mileafly or msn: daniel84000@hotmail.com

Outcast. Why would you want to do this? Help on the forums is free and there are very talented forum members and CT staff here. Everyone is more than willing to help if they can.

Ok then i give it a shot and see if anyone can figure it out

I stripped down my mfa to just the core and removed as much as possible to isolate the "bugg". I will attach the mfa at the bottom of this text and also a screenshot to show what i mean.

Ok here is the problems. As you will see in the mfa the penguins will walk when the stoplight are green. They will travel up to the gate at the top of the frame then "slide" down until they go outside the frame to the left. Then they will appear and go to the right and throw a fish.

Ok all this works well except that for some reason the sixth penguin will be two penguins on top of each other when they appear at the bottom left (this happens not always i think but like 95% of the time). After that some of the penguins will be doublicates on each other.

The event CAUSING this is in the group named "Level Activators" (under the group Game). This event just activates another group called speed up that makes the penguins speed go from 1 to 2. (in the main game its used to make it a little more difficult by increasing the speed they walk).

If you remove the group "Level Activators" the bugg wont happen.

I have no idea why this is happening, and why it starts at the sixth penguin, its the exact same event happening for every penguin so dont know why some are exceptions :S

If someone could point out whats the problem i would be very grateful! Im going crazy here :P

Are you deactivating the group "Speed Level 1" after you've set the speed? I put in an action on the same line (68) that deactivated the group, and it seemed to stop.

Why do you suspect that this event is causing the problem?

You might want to try making your program run in the regular runtime without extensions first.

I tried to take a look, but your .MFA is using both HWA and Flash effects, neither of which I have installed. Also, I don't think the two are compatible with each other.

I tried that, but then they dont go any faster if the event is deactivated?

Because when i remove this event the problem never occurs.

I have tried to run it now without HWA but the problem remains. I have both Flash Effects and HWA in the application because i am making one version for exe (with hwa) and also a flash version.

Here is the new new MFA without hwa or flash effects

You should make the versions separately, not at once.
