Well that was a part of it, sadly it clashed with other elements of my events sheet and caused a bit of a meltdown.... well I think it was that.
I also added some other things like health and ammo refills and something broke. When the player dies he disappears and will not reappear when layout restarts. Just when I thought I had the core code nailed. Sigh. Ah well I will tackle it tomorrow. I know it will be one thing that is causing the elementsame to clash.
