I was trying to check what frame my object is on so I can break him out of a loop, and it does not seem to work! Can someone tell me what is wrong with this code:
I don't see why this would be a problem!

have you tired using chkfrm = object frame(1) I think that might be an integer value instead of a float. I will test when I can.

[edit] Yes this works.

Yep! It works now. For some reason, I have to set up an IF/ENDIF situation. It won't work on the same line. Hmmmm. Maybe it's just me! Thanks a billion!

Cool. I'll check it with an If Then statement when I get home.

[edit] This seems to work as well. DBP can be odd at time though.

You're right! I don't know why, but it was simply not working then. It seemed to work when I did not have it on the same IF/THEN statement. Example:

frame = object frame(1)
if frame = 112 then hide object 1

This did not work, whereas this did:

frame = object frame(1)
if frame = 112
hide object 1
endif

Strange!

I have ran into this several times as well but cannot get it to be a permanent bug so I mainly code with if endif's. Every once in a while the if then just will not work. I recompile and it works. Then several weeks later it will stop working on a different if then. It mainly happens to me if I have alot of if then's in a subroutine like

Using this type of sub ... many times I have had the last 3 if then's to be ignored. It has nothing to d owith what is in the if then's either as I can swap them putting the first last and the last first and the last 3 still do not work. I have had no problems using if endif's like this. So, I mainly use them.
