[Solved] 'Trigger once' on top breaks event?

Greetings! This probably is not a bug, but a big misunderstanding.

Basically, v1 (first image) works as expected.

But v2 (second image) does not at all

What am I missing? There's obviously some insight behind how C2 events work which I somehow missed.

In the first example there is nothing above trigger once, so trigger once is true on the first tick.

In the second example, there are conditions above trigger once, so trigger once will be true when the conditions above it are true.

At least that's how I understand it.

If used, the "trigger once" pseudo-trigger should always be used as the last condition. It's explicitely specified in the manual.

Thanks a lot, friend.

It's a bit odd that they haven't hard coded it to be last, like they had done with "On collisions" etc.

Using it as the first condition makes it similar to a "start of layout" condition while not being a trigger. I also can see why you'd use it in the middle of other conditions, although it's a less common use.
