OK, I'm working on an interesting little platformer where the main character has psychic powers. He can lift rocks, shoot lasers, etc.
The question here is about my method for making liftable rocks. I have my character shoot out invisible beams when he's in "psy-mode" and when they collide with a rock, the camera locks on to the rock, the player's movement is disabled, and the rock's movement engine is enabled, until you let go of button 2. The rock uses a simple static-movement engine. The problem is, I have their X momentum, Y momentum/Gravity, and 'Focused or Not' values as alterable values, and whenever I make more than one rock, the game goes crazy. One rock will fall through the floor, and the other will fly up into the air and off of the level. I cannot see what the heck is going on with it. I even tried spreading Alterable Values A,B,&C by their NObjects (as I assume it's supposed to be used?) and that didn't work.
I've also encountered a similar problem with my enemies, who use internal flags to determine what they're doing and alterable values to measure the time between their shots. With this, if I trigger one of them by walking into its line of sight, all of the enemies in the level start to fire.
I assume I'm doing something wrong that's easily fixed, but I'm sometime ignorant like that. Anyone know how to fix this?

I think you should spread a value between your rocks and then run a loop and on each loop commence that particular rock's movement.
Make sure you have spread value on it's own event, it is a very strange action and you cant put start loop in the same event. EG:
Always - Spread Value 0 in A
Always - Start loop "rock"
Not:
Always - Spread Value 0 in A
- Start loop "rock"
