  • If you add "ID" variable to the object, you can use it to pick object instances. You can also pick by UID, IID and several dozens of other criteria.

  • You should be able to optimize at least some of the code.

    For example, if you place each Text object close to its sprite on the layout, you can do this: 

    For each text 
 Pick nearest SpriteFamily -> Pin Text to SpriteFamily

    Or you can add an instance variable PinToUID to the Text (or TextFamily), and manually specify which sprite each text should be pinned to. Then your event will look like this: 

    For each text
 Pick SpriteFamily by unique ID=Text.PinToUID -> Pin text to SpriteFamily

    .

    It could be even easier if you use an invisible BaseSprite as a placeholder for each group of objects. 

    For each BaseSprite:
 SpriteFamily is overlapping BaseSprite -> Pin SpriteFamily to BaseSprite
 Text is overlapping BaseSprite -> Pin Text to BaseSprite

  • It's all about picking. You can first pick enemies by distance. If your event picked multiple enemies at that distance, then you pick one enemy from them by some other criteria - for example, the enemy with lowest health, or simply random. And then fight that enemy.

    RadYan is right - you have to be more specific.

  • No, sorry, you are right and I was wrong.. Wow, I always thought IID depends on the picked scope.

  • (removed, I was wrong)

  • Family is often the easiest way to work with two different instances of the same object in one event. However, since you need to copy instance variables, this means that you'll have to define those variables on the family level.

    If you don't want to do this, then you'll have to use a bunch of temporary local variables..

  • Dop2000, a different poster totally, they are not his capx files

    Oops, my apologies! This whole topic is quite confusing.

  • I thought you don't want to use collision checks? "Is Overlapping" condition in your first capx still uses them. And those events #2 and #6 from the second capx make absolutely no sense.

    If you don't want to use "On collision" or "Is overlapping" events, you can use "Pick nearest enemy to player", and/or compare distance between player and enemy and pick enemy instance within some short distance. 

    Keyboard on Space pressed
 Enemy pick nearest to player.x, player.y
 distance(enemy.x, enemy.y, player.x, player.y)<20 : enemy destroy

    Still don't understand your problem, as in both your capx only one enemy instance is destroyed at a time.

  • You need to post your capx or at least a screenshot of your event sheet.

  • I don't know why it doesn't work for you.

    Try this demo:

    dropbox.com/s/fytd9r6f0x4l5jo/DragWithPadding.c3p

  • Yes, I meant "On drop".

    To add an image into post, use img tag, for example: 

    [img=1234]

    It would be much easier to help if you could share your code or your project file.
