For loop madness

I deleted a previous thread about this before but man I'm just not understanding why its not doing what its suppose to.

All I want to do is create new text objects underneath their parents and display numbers based on simple math.

instead of getting 1 2 3 4 5 etc, I just get 5 5 5 5 5 5

here is my capx: file

I even read the tutorial on the for loops and it looked easy because I use for, foreaches, whiles (the whole shibang) in php and javascript.

Hmm, this is strange... I fixed it, but I'm not sure why it works now and not before. <img src="smileys/smiley17.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

All I did was change the Sprite - Spawn object num event to System - Create object num at Sprite.X, Sprite.Y. Now the text beneath the boxes reads like you wanted, 1 2 3 4 5 etc.

Could be a picking bug in the Sprite - Spawn object action.

Ashley corrected something similar for the system - create object.

This is conjecture, if Ashley takes a look around here, he will tell for sure.

Nice workaround though Sully

Thanks!

It looks like a bug but in fact is a side effect of the way the Spawn action is implemented. If I fixed it, it would break other things. So I'm afraid you'll just have to use Sully's workaround.

Ashley: This is the kind of things that will need a proper explanation/notice in the manual.
