it depends of how YOU like to work, I would use 1 evensheet for all

and just make groups

splashscreen

directions screen

8rooms

room1

room2

...

endscreen

you can also use tokenat from system expressions

from the manual:

tokenat(src, index, separator)

Return the Nth token from src, splitting the string by separator. For example, tokenat("apples|oranges|bananas", 1, "|") returns oranges.

Kyatric, appreciate the help but this is a very simple example, i was using the enemy and player var as a "state" where under everything is related to the enemy or the player, so i dont have to repeat the statement and can have multiple actions or conditions under this, i think it makes sense

i already had a working version, if you add isplayer var to the trigger is works, so i rather was asking why it didnt take its parent condition into account, where does it state that triggers are "out of the code" can i have comfirmation that this is the only way it suppose to work Ashley

so in this example, i would expect that the parent event picks the right object and the subevent would add to the correct counter, instead they are adding up on each    ( press space to add to counter )

<img src="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/61666915/eventing.png" border="0" />

i was thinking that subevents keep the picked objects

the image shows a working version, but without the additional var comparison, the counters add up to eachother(both the hpfight objects), so the picking must be wrong and doesnt account for the parent comparisment

any idea why it would do it like this?

Check failure! This is probably a bug:

GetBehaviorInstanceFor(): object instance does not have an associated behavior instance

Condition: i != instances.end()

File: Projects\BehaviorType.cpp

i added solid behavior to family behaviors, first it worked, then i added an extra object to the family, when running i got this message, ignore made it crash..

I extended the example how you could do this

capx

no, its fine now, .. thats alot of events for a countdown, im not a fan of the wait function, i sometimes have trouble with it, i also see that the timings are off,strange..., but in my example you can reset the "start" and "attoken" var to restart the countdown

Made this example, hope it helps!

cant open your file on dropbox, .. now i can

capx

its because it picks the button on top, a better way to make this, is using a switch like this

switch

i made a boolean variable in the green button,

then on click i switch the boolean on or off

then depending on the status of the boolean, its green or red

does this help?

capx

rojohound very nice, thank you!
