How do I pick a Tiled Background from its family?

mrmlabs

First, to clarify about Families : all objects in Families inherit instances variables, ex, 2 objects in fades family, and 2 instances variables (named so, Family instance variables) :

• 
• 

So if select 1 fade item, it have it's own instance based on family (that's [fades] mean)

• 
•

Yep! My better idea : your global var store the player.UID, and so you can Pick family instance by player.UID (your var)

Great idea. But how do i do that selection? What actions do i need to put in the event sheet?

Quick & Dirty : On click, change the current player, call a method to move it, that's all ^^/

Ex. file dropbox.com/s/dwvp9zrgggb50vm/Player_selector.c3p

Thank you for this Nicolas....but it seems when i am trying to get the UID from that object is returning 0.

Do you know why is that happening?

I think i know why i might not see that UID. Because the player selection happens in a different layout.

Any idea how do i go around this?

Will it work if i make them global? Is there a better way?

Making both object in the family global did not do anything :(
