is this a bug or not?

I was trying to make a switch object that would make objects with the same instance value set in "objectID" switch on or off but in this case I was trying to make it change to another frame.

Link to Capx

first off, you are setting the animation frame for the SwitchEnd 60 times per second.

Also you could easily use the Mouse OnClick event, instead of overlapping.

You would need a for each switch

is switch on

pick where oid = switch.oid

Animation speed of the sprites is not 0, so that can lead to further problems.

Your code seems to be not very straight-forward. Why not use something like this?:

This way you dont check the switch every tick, to setup the switchends to the correct frame. If you face the problem that newly created switchends will not have the animation frame according to the switch, you could easily do a "on created"-event and then set it according to the switch boolean or add a function, that does a "for each switch"...

here's the way I would do it.

Oh yeah, should not pick the switchendsbefore the switch has been toggled, since if there would be no switchends with the correct objectid, the switch would not switch because the actions would not be run (or use pick by comparison, this should work regardless I think).

Thanks works without a problem.
