NOOB Mouse Pick Event question

[montymccune]

Hey all- I just downloaded Playmaker yesterday and am already banging my head against the wall 

Attached is a SS of what I'm attempting to do: I have a basic cube in my scene, and when I MouseUp on it, I want it to switch the cube color from BLUE to GREEN and then start over again - BLUE, GREEN, etc... I have a int variable that I increment to keep up with which color should come next as I click. THE PROBLEM I AM RUNNING INTO IS as soon as I click the cube for the first time, I get an error "LOOP COUNT CANNOT EXCEED MAXIMUM: 1000 Default is 1000". Ok, so I have an infinite loop and it seems as though the Idle/MouseClicked state is to blame. What I dont understand is why that state doesn't wait for ANOTHER MouseUp click event to start the cycle over again? Does this make sense to anybody? Am I mentally challenged? Possibly.

thanks to all smart people out there,
Monty

I'd have to see what the actions in those states are doing, its probably just something simple.

Study the scene in that thread and let me know if it resolves your issue. It allows you to click something and change the material.

Hey- I have seemed to resolve my problem by subscribing to a global MOUSEUP event as opposed to a local Mouse Pick event. My original problem is still very concerning to me however. If anyone can explain why a Local Mouse Pick: MouseUp event would continue to fire after the initial click, it would be very much appreciated!
