Create object "Family" is not possible ?

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to create an object by selecting a Family, but it doesn't seem to work.

Here’s the situation:

I have a family called "SpriteFamily" that includes spriteA, spriteB, and spriteC.

At the start of the layout, I use the action Create Object → SpriteFamily, but nothing gets created.

I was expecting it to create all the sprites in the family — or did I misunderstand how families work? Why it is selectable on "Create Object"?

Thanks for your help!

When you create a family instance, it should create a random member - spriteA, spriteB, or spriteC.

I'm not sure what you mean by element? There are family members (object types), and there are instances of those objects — which are also considered family instances.

You can certainly loop through all existing family instances using For Each.

But if you need to iterate over all object types in a family (even if no instances of them exist on the layout), you’ll need to use JavaScript. As far as I know, that's not possible with events.

I understood now. yes, JS is needed for this :)

Thank you for the clear explanation !
