Help with event

Hi

I found an older project with some gravity effects for all items I give a certain group, but I have some trouble putting these items on top of each other.
I took a screenshot of my events here:



Event Info
The ForEach loop was needed when I pickup boxes to prevent the game from destroying more than 1 box at the time (picking up 1 box at a time). The green square is a bigger detector that is simulating the area infront of the player (player = light red square) also to prevent the player from dropping any box into a wall. The Active Icon object is just an object I use values on to separate the two action events. I had a problem when he picked up, and putted down in the same click. PickUp of player is to check if the player is already holding a box or not. The group: Collectables are all the objects that have this gravity effect. Each item in this group also have their own ID in alterable value C to tell the game what kind of item you picked up. Those Wall Blocks in event 64 is ID 1, therefore PickUp of player is 1. Group 0 = The ground, which stops all Collectable group objects from falling. Group 2 Collectable group objects that are capable of standing upon each other. And last, group 3 is Collectable Objects that are not capable of having another Collectable item upon itself.

My question:
I can say that for now, there are ONLY 1 kind of Collectable objects in my game: The Wall Block. I have 3 of them in my game, but group 3 is still inactive. Anyway, when I drop one of these Wall Blocks upon another, it does not land and end with the same smoothness. Its usually a few pixels down in the box it lands on. At the same time, ALL the boxes in the frame moves 1 pixel up, which kinda looks weird. Does anyone have any ideas on how to have this very same floor effect when group 2 lands upon group 2? This is my main question in this thread, but I also have another question. As I did not "invent" these events (got help somewhere), Im kinda curious about what the "Min" in event 71 does.

All replies are appreciated!

Oh noes! More trouble.. Apparently, when 2 boxes are on top of each other, the gravity stops

Scratch that last comment, problem solved! Thank you very much, ForEach object

Scratch that again... If you manage to pick up the bottom box while having 2 more atop of each other above, those 2 will be stuck in the air.. Darn, this is hard!

I think the best thing to do is upload the mfa and let someone look at it. Most of the time it's something that was missed or a bad line of code. Sorry I couldn't help.

You are probably right. I uploaded here.

I have came across some other very similar examples, but the thing is, I like knowing whats going on and I didnt get the other ones enough to change on stuff I wanted. It would be very nice if the events could be somewhat like this Oh, and Ill post the needed extension in the file archive thread
