Variable Timing and Instant Question

[JasonT]

I think I'm having an issue where global variables are not being updated before other trees need them.

This may be an obvious question but I want to be sure, if I uncheck Instant on a sequence, does that mean all the lower branches will also be forced to wait until the next tick even if they are set to instant.

Also just wondering when global variables are updated. Is it at the beginning of the tick or the end?

No - it is just for that single task.

They are updated instantly as soon as the value is set. It sounds like the timing issue may be elsewhere

just to clarify, if a sequence composite task is not set to instant wouldn't that mean it executes it's attached tasks on the next tick after it is called? Or am I misunderstanding?
