Wrestlers "down" when they shouldn't be

How come the wrestlers are "down" after auto-pin moves, such as a sunset flip or small package?  It doesn't seem right when a small package is followed up with a flying elbow or something.

This also happens after certain wear-down holds, like an armbar, and when submission holds are "broken."  When Shawn Michaels "breaks" Ric Flair's figure-four, he shouldn't be able to execute a flying elbow right away, should he?

I guess my main question is why "brings down opponent," in the moves database, doesn't work in all cases.

That is correct. I am currently trying to find a workaround to the latter.

The former can't be fixed with the way things are set up at the moment because there is no way for the program to understand the difference between a small package and a lariat, since both end up with people on the floor.

This was a design oversight on my part.

Is there anyway to add a tag "Brings Self Down?" since if you're executinf a small package it would and if you did a lariat it wouldn't... obviously

That's the obvious solution. Adding the flag isn't the issue. The real issue is deployment. If you have a move in your database, no matter what, TNM will never replace it with the same move from an export file.

Hence, even if I added the flag and set up all moves accordingly, nobody who doesn't reinstall will ever notice.
