BUG: Spread value with qualifier overlapping active

[mobichan]

I have found an odd bug. I have an active object that belongs to 4 qualifier groups. If you do an overlap test with an active object and a member of the qualifier group, then spread value 0 in the qualifier group, nothing happens. The variable I spread the value to reads 0 in all qualifier group member.

I am running the latest Dev beta (Unicode version) and attached an example of the issue.

Well, qualifiers are buggy, since they had to work around older code from previous Clickteam products. You better be glad that they're in TGF2/MMF2/MMF2DEV at all. Anyway, it might not be easily fixed, and, since Clickteam seems to be focusing on MMF3/MMF2.5 (whatever MMF2.5 is) at the moment, it might not get fixed at all. Also, I don't see why you'd need to spread a value at the same time as an object overlapping another object. If you do need it, then could you tell me why you need to spread a value at such unusual timing? If it involves looping using that fixed value, then you really should consider using the ForEach object.

I need to loop through the qualifier group members when an object (projectile) overlaps one of them. Pretty standard spread value/start loop scenario. What is really weird is that until I added this 4th qualifier group to my enemies, everything seemed to run fine. Now I can't even get a single qualifier group to work properly in a fresh file.

EDIT: I just tried the same test with just spreading a value in an active's altVal and it doesn't work either. Maybe a general bug in the latest beta? Can anyone confirm this?

EDIT2: So, the problem seems to be that you can't use Spread value from an overlapping condition. I swear I have done this before, but it is not working now.
