How do I check for 2 of the same object different IDs.

I understand the idea behind UID's and IID's but I haven't figured out how to implement them correctly and I believe that's what I need here.

My goal is to make it so when the slime and hero object are nearby they enter fight animation, then during animation stage 2 damage happens. [This works but it might explain my image below]

When a second slime shows up the damage correctly gets put on to him but I can't get it to show above him. Closest I have come is with this code, but it seems the sub event counts the object as touching itself and I can't find a way to check if Slime UID 4 is touching Slime UID 18 to verify.

So if there are 2 slimes overlapping the Hero, you need to show another text with damage? What if there are 3 or more slimes?

I think what you need is something like this:

Hero on frame change
Hero animation frame=2
Hero animation "Attack" is playing
Slime is overlapping Hero
	System for each Slime
		Slime subrtact Hero.attack from Health
		Slime spawn DamageText
		DamageText set text to Hero.attack 
		DamageText Move to (140+loopindex*20, 310)

Worked like a charm!

Now I just need to get the damage to show up on top of the slimes.

Ya, I'm using slime.bboxleft but its still off to the right... Slime.bboxleft - 20 is working, so Ill see what issues that'll give me later down the road ;D
