Glad it helped! In case you didn’t internalize it earlier, I did trip over a seeming bug in the adv3 implementation, which could manifest if you can scatter them around your game. Strongly recommend you add this code somewhere:

modify Thing
    addToSenseInfoTable(sense, tab)
    {
        inherited(sense, tab);

        // JJMcC - if I modified SenseTable by adding myself,
        // force my Collective Groups to reevaluate
        if (tab.isKeyPresent(self))
            foreach (local cur in collectiveGroups)
                cur.addToSenseInfoTable(sense, tab); // force update!
    }
;

VERY long discussion of why here.
