multiple subapplications running at realtime

[aylictal]

as the title of this post reads, is this possible?

i've recently adjusted to using subapplications a lot, and they really do help with managing the mmf2 language, but thus far i've only managed to create subapplications that pause any application underneath it.

if i were to set up a statement such as:

Condition Whatever--
--Create Subapplication1
--Create Subapplication2

the problem is that Subapplication2 window will have the window focus, as it will be the last created application. Is there a way for both to have focus at the same in a setting of some sort?

An exact example:

Subapplication1 will have information regarding player equipment (as in stats of individual armor itself) through a bunch of strings displayed in the app, while Subapplication2 will have information regarding player stats based upon the congregation of the armor they're wearing, plus whatever level they are in a bunch of strings as well. If the player changes a piece of armor in subapp1, subapp2 needs to update this information, as the stat variables will change, however this won't happen, because subapp1 will still have focus after the equipment has been swapped. Is there any way to run these two at the same time or should I rework the design and include all of this within a singular subapp? or perhaps should i structure it so that subapp2 reloads whenever a piece of armor is swapped in subapp1?

it seems i have multiple methods here, but i'm trying to figure out which is the best approach, or if there even is an approach as the topic suggests.

You don't have to make your sub-apps modal, then they can run at the same time. Just untick Modal in the sub-app's properties. I only use sub-apps with a Source of a different frame of my app rather than Other application, which might work differently.

thank you. i looked under the documentation of what modal was and realized that that was what was pausing every layer underneath the newest subapp :0
