Problem collision counter???

I have an actor that adds to a counter when hit by another actor. Like score!
However if I have 2 of the same actor hit this score keeper at almost the same time then it only counts the score once. I've tried timers and run to completion. And I must keep the 2 actors exactly the same. Any ideas

    Hi Chaser, try clicking on the padlocks of the 2 of the same actor; this way they become independant Instances, and so should then affect the score independently.

    I have them spawned so I think this complicates things!

    Hmm, you're right! Don't think there's a way to make a spawned actor an independent instance, is there?

    The only way round it, that I can think of - if it fitted with the style of your game - would be to have them off-screen; so rather than spawned, placed in position, with an attribute triggering their movement, etc; after moving them on-screen; but I guess you've thought of that.

    Hopefully someone else knows how to get round this problem, if you need to stick with spawning...sorry I couldn't help.

    Edit: of course, providing you've not too many to spawn, one easy way round it would be to have the spawned actors as separate actors, with identical Rules.

    I'm dealing with spawned dice so I want to keep the odds correct. But you sparked a thought that I'll have to work on. Thanks!

    You're welcome. I actually got something right; ha! :-)

    What if you made the other actors the score keeper? I mean, the problem seems to be that there's one actor, that when it's hit by another actor, change the score to score+1. If instead, every other actor that collides with him change the score to score+1, it might work. maybe. xD

    I'll have to try that. Less complex than what I was thinking of doing
    Thanks!

    That worked and it all is working on fast app switching as well
