Variable being triggered impossibly >:[

So, I have this ultimately retarded bug that I somehow impossibly managed to make. Some freaking how a stupid variable is getting triggered to ON while colliding with the left bottom or right bottom corner of an object, yet theres NOTHING SET to change it on the collisions. See, THESE kinds of bugs are the ones that really make you loose motivation. I hate when crap happens that you can't even begin to imagine what to do to figure it out. I went through draw actor and everything, still can't find A SINGLE THING that would cause the variable to change. Screw it omfg.

It's always like this: "OMG YES. FINALLY! I got something going o--" -- Then game editor gives you the freaking middle finger with some random bug that makes no sense to even god.

I always eventually find these ones being my own mistakes.
Remove your variable and GE will show you a list of all events using that variable. Check them for the mistake, fix it and re-create the variable. Simple.

It's true that there's some bugs in GE, but this kinds of things GE handles with no problems, it is just the result of some code of yours.

Instead of blaming GE I have learnt to blame myself because unexplained errors are eventually always stupid coding mistakes I've made. :)

Good luck in finding the error!

WOW thats a great idea Im going to do that right away! =) Removing the variable, wow I seriously never though of that. Haha thanks LCL =D

And I know, deep down inside I always know its my fault. Computers dont make decisions, they just do as they're told, I just got sick of constantly making errors lol at the most simple things

+1 LCL! :D
