im currently trying to use 2 reflectocube dropper instances, to be triggered at different moments in the puzzle.
I got them both in the map, and working... kinda

When i try to control them individually they keep responding to the same trigger.
Also the first cubedropper i placed gets 2 cubes when the chamber starts, while the second dropper gets none.

I tried modifying the fixup name and even switching the pre to postfix, but it wont work.
How can i use 2 identical itemdroppers without problems?

I am having the same issue as MissStabby. I have two reflection cube droppers in my map, but the source engine seems to not play nicely. One of them drops 4 reflection cubes while the other one drops 2. Something wrong here? One works fine on it's own, but it only happens when I add a second one to the map. I change the properties to make their names naming identifiers distinct too.
