Not sure if this will help, but if you have a long operation, you need to force it to run on the next tick at least, so that the current tick can finish and any changes can be viewed. Otherwise, as you've seen, C2 does not actually finish updating things until it reaches the end of the event sheet. That's when the GUI is actually refreshed.

Functions run just the same as if all of that code was right where the call is made, they are not in the background. Something else must be going on.

What are your functions doing? Each will return "immediately". If you have Waits, etc, the function will still return immediately. Waits do not block.

Functions are called by you and execute synchronously, so if you call three functions, one after another, it would be your next action that signifies they are done. You can't put something "after" the function declarations, that just gets called like every other event.

Maybe post what you are trying to do.

Your best solution is not to use the same name in the first place - that is, when the name is used, remove it from the list.

Here's one quick example, picking one extra index to show that all of the names were used (result is 0).

You use a Family with that object in it. Then you have two unique objects to work with.

You don't need to use the duplicate family for anything but picking the LOS. You can grab the UID of both objects and reference the single family after that, if that's what you need.

You don't actually pick the extension, it's just the base name & C2 calls the appropriate one.
