What is the difference between Pick and Compare?

They seem to behave similarly but not exactly.

Think they are the same, put that way.

Pick by comparison is just more flexible. By instance :

Expression = sprite.platform.VectorY ... > ... 0

You can mimic all picks found in the sprite conditions by a pick by compare.

Those two conditions

Text->compare variable

And

System->pick by comparison

Should give identical results as you have pictures there. What are the differences you observe?

When I am doing nested picks using the compare it doesn't seem to work. I'll see if I can replicate this behavior again in a test file.

...haven't used it much but that's my understanding from what I've read

No, it still picks from what's currently picked. I've used both extensively and they work as expected.

Ah, yes. I think I was thinking of the pick all

Now I can't replicate it, lol. I was juggling a lot of instance variables too though, so I suspect I had some crossover causing confusion.
