   Ok, so in my game I rely on a lot of custom evented systems, many of which work in the background. I guess I just haven't gotten far enough in my game to notice it before as I haven't been testing any of the newly discovered faulty systems (I mean they run on the same basis as others that start running in the background as soon as the game starts up, so there was really no reason to think that it would act any different.) But I just noticed today that an event that runs based on using an item causes my game to freeze.

   The first thing I think is that I must have accidentally set the event trigger to autorun instead of parallel process but when I check it it's already set to parallel. So I spend 20 minutes or so comparing it to similar events that I know work properly to see if I've done something differently, after a bit of frustration I decide I'll try something random and set the event to run from the beginning of the game like some of the other systems... and it works perfectly fine then! So then I think it's got to be something to do with the event that activates the item event, but all that's in that is control self switch (on) so then I decide I'll have a skill activate that event instead of an item... and that works fine to... only activating the event through an item causes the game to freeze apparently. Someone please explain to me why the bloody hell this is because it does not make any sense at all that it should work that way to me.

As you should be able to see from the screens this is a very simple system, which kind of makes it worse that I can't see what it is that's wrong with it. Any help at all is greatly appreciated.
