How do I choose one object only?

Hello,

I made an event to open a command menu, to control the characters in my game. I made instance variable for each character that when this variable's value change to 1 the character does the command. The problem is that when the value change all the charcters do the command, i just want the one who i selected ( i press e beside a character to open the command menu, thats what i mean by the one who i selected, the who i used to open the menu). Help please.

Thanks

So what is the exact event/conditions?

In what way do you want to reference the correct instance?

You press e beside a character..

I'm not exactly sure what this means, but how should the computer know beside which character you are, so how would it know which character you mean?

I want to make the correct instance do the command i asked.

I pinned an invisible object to the player that is bigger than the player, which acts like a radius. When the player press e and the character is overlapping with that radius, it opens the command menu.

Sounds great..

If you could share your capx, it would be a lot easier..

Without seeing the actual events, advise will be pretty abstract..

You could for example set a variable to the uid of the character and reference that uid in the functions and/or events of the command menu..

To prevent pointless posting and guesswork, it is preferable to either provide screenshots of your Events or a .capx.

You are right, i will send screenshots tomorrow.

gorilla is "the character", actionradius is the "radius",commandbg is the "command menu"

as you can see this is on e pressed event: http://postimg.org/image/5429xt4l9/

the buttons and the command menu is moved to the played HUD

on clicked on one of the commands set all the instances of the gorilla (which acts like command) to 0 except the command you chose which is collectf (collect food)

third part: http://postimg.org/image/le3ubqjcz/

this is the collect food command itself, i don't think this photo matters but i putted it to make sure that you help me.

Please help me, of course there are some things you wont understand so please ask me and i will an answer you,

Thanks!

On this one I can see that pressing E brings out the menu, but is that all it does ? Is there anything inside this event that tells the overlapped gorilla that it is the "chosen one" ?

I see nothing in your code that sorts the controlled gorilla apart from the others.

No nothing. Can you please tell me what should i do?

What I'd suggest you:

• Create a global variable, a number, and name it "SelectedChara" or whatever you fancy.
• In the event "On E pressed", add the action: "Set SelectedChara to Gorilla.UID"

UID is the Unique ID of the object. Here "SelectedChara" will remember which instance you intend to use.

• On every event where you tell the gorillas what to do, add the condition: "Pick gorilla with UID: SelectedChara"

thus only the gorilla withe previously selected UID will be affected by these actions.

Hope it helps.

Thanks so much Estecka, i will try this as soon as i can!
