Hey there 
I lately find myself dealing a lot with several objects tied together in a group. It's usually peachy, but I have a problem when it comes to alterable values, for example I try to do this:
* CursorObject overlaps Group.0
* Player clicks with left mouse button
= Add 1 to Alterable Value A("Group.0")
* Alterable Value A("Group.0") = 1
= Do stuff
And it works really great....on one object, which I can't determine why it was the one that was picked to be the lucky one. Other objects just turn bad and apparently don't get the value updated with them specifically. That happens whenever I try to do events with object groups and alterable values.
Is there any way to make an event concerning groups apply a value to the specific object the event is relevant to?
I tried replacing alterable values with counters, but that effects all the objects.
I was also desperate and started thinking of maybe somehow retrieving the selected object's name, saving it into a string and then applying it in events, but I couldn't find any extension that has a "Get Object Name" action.

Try changing
* CursorObject overlaps Group.0
to
* Group.0 overlaps CursorObject
Keep the rest the same.
Let me know if it works.

Klikmaster is right - the order in which you build your conditions is important (see the article "Handling Duplicates" for a more thorough explanation).
Having said that, the example provided seems to work perfectly for me, exactly as it is already.

I haven't got mmf here to confirm the problem or solution but it sounds like an event/condition ordering problem.

I tried what you said and no success. 
What can I say to help you out?
By the way I tried remaking the events with counters instead of alterable values, but this time also referencing the group with a condition unique to the selected object alone, but now it just doesn't respond to any object at all.

I have replicated your original question in mmf and it works fine.
Are there any other events that could be interfering?

There aren't other events, I'm just using 3 test actives.
Here's the full story: I'm trying to make the cursor's object teleport other teleportable object (defined as group 9). When you select an object it starts fading, and once you click another position and the object fades out completely, it repositions there. If you haven't clicked any other location then after the fading out it returns to normal.
This is the first version (also tried that one after changing the events order as you said):
http://solid.flam.free.fr/files/strangers/objgroup_v1.png
In this version it only works on one group 9 object.
This is the second version, I simply replaced the group's alterabl values A-C with the cursor object's alterable values D-F:
http://solid.flam.free.fr/files/strangers/objgroup_v2.png
This way it doesn't work at all, but if I remove one of the conditions in event #27, it makes all group objects fade out and reposition.
Sorry also for the large amount of alterable values, I was never the efficiency expert.
