Bizarre Glitch - Overlapping Cannon Towers

[ThomasEddington]

I was working on my project and playing with the tilesets, and when I changed a few tiles (which did NOT change pathing anywhere that would remove any units, I made sure of that), it caused one of the cannon towers linked with triggers to get deleted, so naturally the popup message appeared giving an object ID's deletion leading to a trigger being disabled. That's totally fine.

The glitch is that there were TWO cannon towers stacked on top of each other with IDENTICAL object IDs. (They are both called gg_unit_hctw_0023!!) I got screens to prove this.

I was able to simply click and move one over, and confirm that their object IDs are identical. Despite one of them existing... if I delete one, the functions within that trigger still get disabled when I delete either of them...

Weird!! I wonder, could the existence of this anomaly lead to the random crashes I experienced??

That once happened to me with a destructible gate appearing on itself (a variable copy).
I had to delete one of them. No other way. It was tricky because it perfectly overlapped.
