What's the difference between onCreate & onCreatePost?

[SMWpalkia]

What is your question?

in one of my stage luas, i noticed it wasn't displaying chromatic abberation despite me not changing anything for a few months. i changed onCreate to onCreatePost and it worked, even though i originally changed it from Post to normal because it disabled my Flash event. now in another song, changing from Post to normal is doing this and I don't understand why. I haven't had any issues with this for months

The main reason I had to change it in this stage is because the pink character wasn't working on a multiple character script despite everyone else working fine and even himself working in other stages. I just don't get why he doesn't here

onCreate is called right after the characters are created, while onCreatePost is called after just about everything is created

so why does onCreate not add chromatic abberation but makes morpheus (the pink dude) move?
function onCreate()

ok so i justed removed the close(true) and it ended up fixing everything. but i still find it weird how all of this happened even though i havent touched anythign in months
