Instead it uses MMFs built in collision mask function. This is also a good example of the spread value function, for anybbody who doesn't know what it can be used for. Its well commented, but feel free to ask if you have trouble with it, or comment on any bugs you might find.

I don't quite understand how the counter still works when you always set it to 0.

From what it looks like, the counter is what object ID is being used

Both the counter and fastloop are on an always condition, the fastloop is able to increment the counter to a certain number before it is reset to 0

so basically it's a very fast counter that can go from 0 to x repeatedly

And due to how fastloops work, a counter will usually show the largest number it gets to

... and I totally forgot about the collision mask (although it's probably kind of buggy since no one ever uses it)

It should work with object groups

Though I wouldn't abuse it with large numbers of AOs, since even though you ARE using a fastloop, you're still only testing collisions one object at a time

I've tested and studied the events you made, and it seems that it needs a serten distence to change direction properly. Other than that, you should be proud of your self. -------------------- ------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------ I'm not quite dead yet, so expect some mass amounts of crap.

Because he always sets it to 0 as the first event, and then ****s around with it.
