My problem in a nutshell: When characters are given several "wait until player touches me" commands and a line of speech after said touching, you have to touch them several times before they say anything. However, if you place "turn into monster" after a few "wait until player touches me" commands, the game goes straight to "turn into monster" after the first touch. This is seriously inconsistent and a little frustrating. I mean, I've read the speech on how "turn into monster" immediately causes any scripts afterwards to be gobbled up by the now monsterized actor, but all the scripts before turning into a monster too? Come on!

For the curious, I'm using 3.0.0 (I hope it's not as simple as updating to 3.0.2; the troubles with the 2nd revision have kept me from it and I'm waiting for number 3...).

I can't reproduce the difference between speech and turn into monster - in fact, as far as I can tell, it doesn't matter what command you put there (I also tried moving the character), if you have several "wait until player touches me" commands in a row, they'll only wait for one touch.

In fact, this is the intended behavior. If you want to wait for multiple touches, add "wait 0" between the "wait for player to touch me" commands.

I also have 3.0.0, by the way.

Hm, I could have sworn it worked differently the first time. Oh well, live and learn...
