Not sure why but Before I even open the safe door, I pick up whats inside. It's like I'm a ghost. I push the item in the safe a little further back and I can't even grab it at all. I thought of putting it in the air against the wall but, I go through the safe and don't pick up the item. What's with this safe! I mean is there something I'm doing wrong?

Did you use insert special objects and insert safe.

[Rey]

Yes and I even copied a safe from another GE level and it still does it.

In GE safes are a type of container object, like how you can embed items in crates and other normal objects. As soon as the door is opened the item inside becomes "available", just like how the item becomes available when a normal object is destroyed.

Long story short, being able to collect things instantly is not a bug but a feature.

If you want to make the item uncollectable until the door is completely open you should be able to set the item so it isn't collectable at all, then use an action block that checks if the door is in it's "fully open" state. When it is, set the "collectable" flag for the item. If it isn't, set the flag to "uncollectable". The code will look rather similar to the code for changing the monitor images for blast doors in Facility.

Not certain, but you may need to test if the object has been collected as well, then exit the loop if it is. Somewhat unsure what would happen if you try to set the flags on a collected object (probably nothing).

It is a feature but, that should not happen since there is something in the way. Or, as the editor says, collision. I tried putting a safe once before and took it out cause of the same thing happening to, Rey.

That's the inherent problem with collecting items using proximity. Doing sight or even model collision against the object is a much more expensive operation than proximity. The only other option here is recoding the way all collections work.

What you're trying to do is basically the same thing done with the Golden Gun collect in Egyptian. The only really good solution is to make it an action.
