Double Application!?

[LB]

I have a game that allows you to run external campaigns, and I have it set load the campaign with the file object, then "(hide,wait)" and this part works fine. Exept, when the campaign loads, it has one window, as I would like it, then I have a fade in effect, and after the fade in is done, another of the same application opens, and THEN both of them appear in the taskbar where the first was not visible before. It only seems to open 2 campaign applications, and I can't figure out why... please help, as I cannot have this in my finnished product. :eek: If you need more information, just ask.

Thanks to those who help, LB.

You could try limiting the number of times you load the campaign with the file object.

The Special Object has conditions that will do this for you:

Limit Conditions
The Limit Conditions let you limit the actions on any existing event line. These conditions are useful because many event lines are continuously satisfied but you may not want the actions performed continuously. The Limit Conditions are

Run this event once tests for the conditions and runs the actions on the event line only once while the frame is active.
Only one action when event loops restricts the actions performed on any existing event line to one action each time the event loops. For example, if you want to add a value to the Counter each time two objects overlap, this event restricts the action of adding the value to the counter to once each time they overlap. This is instead of continuously adding to the value for the entire time the two objects are overlapping.
Repeat repeats the actions on any existing event line a specific number of times.
Restrict actions restricts the actions performed on any existing event line to once per time interval. For example, if you want to add a value to the Counter when two objects overlap, the value will continue to be added for the entire time that the objects are overlapping. If you use the Restrict Action condition, you can restrict the action to the moment that the two objects overlap, and the value will only be added to the Counter at that moment.

I have tried all of those, even restating the frame or even the application, it still loads two. However, when I open the file manually, it only opens one. I relly need this fixed...

Is the 'only one action when event loops' the last condition in the event?

Yes.
