Hi,

I'm using "Pick a random FAMILYNAME instance" to pick a random object. The object could be one of any 10 different object types.

I want the object to do a behaviour that is attached to the object rather than the family (they all have different ones). I can't see any way to figure out what object has been selected though. Is it possible? If not has anybody used a different solution to do this?

Thanks!

You can get the object name using Family.ObjectNameName

But if you need to run a behavior that is added to the object, and not to the family, you will need to pick the object instance. You can do this:
Zombie Pick by unique ID = EnemiesFamily.UID .. Zobmie Restart Fade Vampire Pick by unique ID = EnemiesFamily.UID .. Vampire Enable Bullet etc.
