Visibility problem

[Anders]

Don't misunderstand me Nifflas, I agree that it is somewhat unlucky behaviour.
I was just thinking of a reason why it would be programmed like that in the first place.

It would make more sense if it was a flag that wasn't affected by the layer visibility + it would be faster.

Nifflas, your behavior (the way you want it to be) is more useful:
if we want the clckteam default behavior, we just have to add an extra condition - "is the layer hidden?".
However, if you want to implement the behavior nifflas wants, but using the default condition, you have to mess up your code by using flags, which can't be named, take a performance hit, and copy/paste code for every object.

What i'm trying to say is that this problem is just one of a lot of problems. Clickteam can't possibly predict the best way for all ACEs, yet cater to newcomer's expectations.

Too much of MMF is hardcoded, we need to have some way of writing our own ACEs to have any hope of fixing said issues.

I hope this clarifies the issues, and yes, I am a bit off-topic.
