Thanks for looking.

Closing as not a bug. 'Wait' does not pause the game, so by the time the next action runs, the function has finished and there are no parameters that can be accessed.

Ashley ok, any idea on how I could achieve the effect I want?

Use a static local variable perhaps.

Like Ashley said have the function store the value in a variable. Works with a global variable too, but if you have a lot that would clutter the global variables.

This works fine:

Ashley BluePhaze thank you again for the kind answers ;] Sorry about another faulty bug report
