  • Hello forum!

    I have an event like so: 

    # THE EVENT
Pick all FamGuns:
    FamGuns.fam_instance_variable = 0:
        print(FamGuns.fam_instance_variable & "==" & 0)

    And the family members look like so: 

    # THE FAMILY
FamGuns:
   Gun1: fam_instance_variable = 0
   Gun2: fam_instance_variable = 1
   Gun3: fam_instance_variable = 2

    But the thing is... this event randomly prints one of the following: "2==0", "1==0", "0==0". This confuses me.

    I've read Families and System Conditions, but I appear to not be capable of understanding how this works from this material.

    Thanks in advance!

  • The error is probably in the execution of your intent. Post a .capx so we can see your actual code instead of that pseudo.

  • The capx is about 500 events and consists of the entirety of my game (http://www.kongregate.com/games/webgovernor/ned-vs-zed). I'll re-create it in a smaller project.

    Update: This doesn't work either (it pins a random member of FamGuns).

    Thanks for the help!

  • Solved! (Sort of).

    Basically, the Spawn or Create do not appear to work as part of the "Pick" event -- which makes sense, because that doesn't have instance variables populated. So, instead, I just move it to the position of the image point that I want to attach to.

    Sorry for the stupid question!
