Hi,

The 'trigger once' condition seems to be reset when switching layout. Is this supposed to be the case? If so, why, if the original condition hasn't changed.

Thanks, and cheers,

Post a capx or screenshot? I guess it makes sense because when you change layout, the event sheet is starting over fresh, so triggers are reset, like the Trigger once.

Hi codah,

I'm not sure it makes sense and it is not very practical imho. You can switch to another layout and back (makes sense in various game scenarios), but it would be undesirable to run the event again.

I attached a concept demo capx. I think the concept is pretty selfexplanatory though.

Cheers,

Just make a variable then set it to trigger only when that variable is set to a certain number

I know volkiller730, but thanks for trying to help.

I asked about 'trigger once', because I was wondering if it was intended to work this way.

After some more experimenting I still think I concur with current behaviour. The event sheet doesn't remember its state after re-entering it from another event sheet. Good to know though. The manual doesn't say anything about that case.
