I've just been trying to get some enemy collision detectors to work properly for about two or three hours. The reason why it took me so long to get right, was that this code...
* Always
- Object: Spread a value 0 in alterable value A
- Start loop "foo" NObjects("Object") times
... doesn't work properly on MMF2. If you start a fastloop on the same event as you spread a value, MMF won't spread the value properly. It didn't for me anyway. It could be a bug, maybe even a known one, but I thought I'd share it with you so you won't have to waste two hours of your life trying to figure out what's wrong.

All I know is that there are a lot of little bug- er, NUANCESES throughout MMF. Getting around them is part of this life it seems. I feel your pain!
Thanks for the heads up Axel.

Separate the spread value action from the start loop action. Having the spread action in the same event causes the loop to run first, and then the spread value. Which refuses to work as you may have noticed. You may call it a bug. But you can also call it an feature ...
So that's the way to go:
-Always-> spread value in Alt Val A
-Always-> start loop "Foo"
-On loop "Foo"
+ Alt Val A is equal loop index Loop "Foo" ...

I highly doubt any large scale program will be without bugs. (even small applications will have bugs somewhere unless the code is 100% efficient, which is highly unlikely)
But that's what bug fixes are for.
Inform clickteam, if you haven't already so they can add it to their no doubt long to do list relating to MMF.

This bug has been known for a long time. I hope clickteam does something about it.

Wouldn't it hurt the MMF 1.5 compatibility if they fixed it though? If MMF 1.5 has got the same bug, that is.

Yes, that is a bug that confused me for ages. I did not understand why my programs were not working as expected.
