How do Blitz3D assigns work?

But EntityDistance() returned a real value! I've tried recreating the problem ina simple test app and failed, so either it's something really complicated or just some wierd error.

The workaround's fine and works. I might dig a bit deeper but to be frank it's not really worth fretting over.
