Pick all Objects in a Line?

[King_Cool]

Hi
Im trying to use the 'Pick all Objects in a Line' Condition, but i cant get it to work.

...
This is what i have:
- 2 default Active Objects, both located at coordinates 0,0
- A Counter Object

This is what im doing:
+ Start of frame
-> 'pick all Objects in a Line' ( 0,0 to 0,0 ) / 'pick all Objects in a Line' ( 0,0 to 1,0 )
-> Set Counter to 'total number of Objects' / Set Counter to 'number of Active'

...
The Counter displays 0 any way i put it.
Is the 'Pick all Objects in a Line' Condition broken or what?

You'd have to use the Select Object extension, or any of the other usual methods for counting the number of objects selected (search if you want more info on that).

There seems to be some kind of bug with the 'Pick Objects In Line' Condition.
Or am i wrong?

At aproximate Angles 90 and 180, the "Line" seems to extend in the reverse direction it is being drawn in and selects Objects it logically should not.

Yeah, it's buggy as hell. Not only does it detect objects it shouldn't, but it also misses some it should clearly see. To be honest, I don't think the feature has had much attention paid to it by Clickteam, since noone actually uses it anyway (don't think many people even noticed it's there).
