Going crazy

[Outcast]

I have this simple 4 event example here and I simply cant get it to work and I cant see how it logically does not work??

It is supposed to make it so when you click on one of the green boxes on layer 2 belonging to a group, a flag goes on, on the object and it is moved to layer 3 and the object sticks to the mouse. All is well that far, but then I have another event for releasing the object back to its original position when you click on a red detection box and the object you are holding is overlapping the detection box. Because the detection box is on layer 3 and the object you pick up is also on layer 3 when its flag is on I don't see why this does not work?

I figure it has something to do with there being two mousclick registered at the same time and cancelling out each other or something. But the 2:nd event to happen in the event list is the one where the object is overlapping with the detection box and you click the left mouse button, and that is not true if they are not at the same layer. It then goes on the event line 3 where if you click the left mouse button on the object it will stick to the mouse. So considering that one is the last event to happen why does the object not stick to the mouse when you click on it if you dont remove the event from line number 2?

Can someone please look at this and explain the logic behind this?

I can get it to do what I want by moving the mouse around and spamming the left mouse button as crazy. I dont know if that is good either.

The problem you are experiencing is quite complicated.
Events wich start with a RED Condition are emidiate events, meaning they are handeled emediatly as soon as the conditions are met.
Furthermore, the 'Click on Object' event seems to be handeled after the 'Left mouse click' Event no matter the order in the Event Editor.
So you will have to imagine the real order your Events are handeled in to understand the logic of your programming.

I have made minor modifications to your code and solved your problem.
Red Events cas cause quite some confusion.

Ah thanks for explaining this! Is this true with keyboard inputs to? Its really annoying when you do something that feels logical and it does not work. I got help on chat to by ProdigyX for another way to do it also. I will upload his version here:
