Hi all, I'm working on a custom Toast/Flash task, through which a new toast is positioned vertically upwards if a toast is already flashing.

To track if a toast is already being displayed I am using a count (%Toast_count) and a state profile which is active when %Toast_count > 0.

Here is the project. It has the main task 'POSITION FLASH', three tasks to create test toasts, and a debug to quickly reset %Toast_count to 0. There's also the profile 'POSITION FLASH' which I described above.

However, the project is not working properly. New toast does get shifted upwards sequentially, but the count doesn't get reduced. I have also tried setting collision handling in the profile task to 'Run Both Together'. No luck.

Need some help.

Edit: Btw, %dur, %white, and %black are project variables; the latter two being #FFFFFFFF and #FF000000.
