Instance Var Condition only filter 1 instance ?

I just notice today that, these condition:

- Compare instance variable &

• Is boolean instance variable set

only pick 1 instance instead of filtering all the instance that match the condition,

so i have to actually use "For Each" to filter all instance that match the condition.

Example capx:

my question is:

• Is this by design ?
• Is there any condition that behave like this too that i should be aware of ?

I'm confused because according to the manual:

http://www.scirra.com/manual/75/how-events-work

When certain criteria are met in the condition, it will filter the instances meeting the condition.

turns out it's not always work that way, like in the above case (only picking 1),

this could create some confusion for those newcomer like me :P

It's working correctly.

The "Text" instances are being filtered but the "CheckBoolean|Append Text" action is only run once for each "CheckBoolean", so only one "Text" instance is used in the event.

Ah i got it, thanks R0J0hound

I thought all the action will automatically run, as many times as the number of filtered instance <img src="smileys/smiley17.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Thanks again

This is where you would want to use for each.

More specifically, people use for each way too often. This is the perfect place for it.
