Deactivated message not getting called

I have three inventory items scripted so that all they do is activate the respective bin when you press the button, and deactivate it when you release the button.
they work fine by themselves, but when i try to press more than one at a time, only one will be deactivated upon releasing them--the one I released first.

Code:

# Jedi Knight Cog Script
#
# ITEM_BACTA.COG
#
# INVENTORY script - Combo Button 1
#
# [GB]
#
# 
#==============================================================#
symbols

thing     player

message   activated
message   deactivated

end
#==============================================================#
code
#------------------------------------------------------
activated:
	player = GetSourceRef();
	SetInvActivated(player, 40, 1);

Return;
#------------------------------------------------------
deactivated:
	SetInvActivated(player, 40, 0);

Return;
#------------------------------------------------------

end

this is what the cogs look like.

It must be getting confused when so many deactivated messages get called or something.

Put a print("deactivated"); in the message. Then try again.

JK is quirky like that for some reason. I found this out for myself unfourtunatly. JK just won't recognize the deactivated message for other bins (in the same group, force/invintory) when another one is actived and deactivated.

However, if you target an item with force pull, and use force lighting, JK deactivates force pull. (and vice versa) Strange..... [http://forums.massassi.net/html/confused.gif]
