okay, i discovered it's xpickups that causes the messaging malfunction in MH monsterEvent -- beats me, what does one have to do with the other, lol! anyways, oh well, no double speeds i guess :/ Now i will go check creavions MH and see what he did...
**edit** creavion did not use xpickups - well that's that then --- do not use XPickups on MH maps if you want to have broadcast style messages for your MonsterEvents ...
Done!
