This is a little hard to explain but I'll try; Some events in MMF/TGF are obviously object specific -eg if you use the object collides with another object thenonly those involved in the collision will be affected. However, some events are not, or if they are, are counteracted by the inclusion of other non-spcific events. So far the only way I've found to make any event only affect the specific object in question, no matter which of those objects it is, is pick one at random, which obviosly introduces an error. Fortunately, in the case of my current game, this is not fatal, but it is not ideal, so I was wandering if anyone knew of any other ways to acheve this (in MMF).

you might want to look into using the object loop bugfix - http://www.create-games.com/article.asp?id=1082 - for use with things like collision mask. otherwise i can't think of a better option that using pick at random - it depends on the events.

that's not a bug, is it?

sometimes it is hard to tell mmf which active should act with what. or which active is meant.
fastloop can solve such problems in some cases ...
also sometimes it can be done with alterable values or flags. set a flag or alterable value in this specific active to your need, and limit the needed event to "+ flag is on" or "+alterable value is ... "
so that only the one with flag on is reacting.
depends on the code you want to write

kris; MMF is not doing what you tell it to, you have to do that to make it, therefore it's a bugfix, implying there's a bug that's been fixed. so IMO the collision mask stuff is buggy.

Thanks everybody! That article is really useful Tigerworks, thanks a lot! Hopefully now my game will be non-random.
