Change instance variable in spawned sprite won't work.

Hello, I have a problem altering an instance variable. I've spawned 7 sprites on the layout, each with 2 instance variables. In a function, I pick a sprite with a particular variable set (var1 = 0) and try to change var2 of that instance. It never works. I've added a text field on the pick event and set the text to change if picked, and it changes, so I suspect the instance is being picked, but the var2 just stubbornly refuses to cooperate. Am I missing things?

If you spawned all 7 with the same variables, and then try to pick using a variable that is the same on each 1, its going to pick them all. I think you need to set the variable when you spawn it.

thanks. the variables were set on spawning, and are different for each. and as mentioned it seems to pick the sprite fine via this variable, but after picking the instance i need to modify, i just cant set the other variable.

hope it helps
