Create Object from Family question

I know that if you use create object with a family object, an object from that family will be randomly chosen. My question is: Is there a way to control that? Like put in a value somewhere to designate a particular family member to be created? I would prefer to do it this way in my procedurally generated world so that the decision can be made dynamically instead of having to specify a particular object in the script itself.

No there are no way to work around it unfortunately.

It depends... what, exactly, are you trying to do?

You might try my nickname plugin.

It could create instance by a string variable.

Ok, well, I can work around it, it's just clunkier than it would be.

I thought so myself for couple of months but rex plugin nickname is far superior to anything you can come up with just using bare construct2.

PKrawczynski Can you explain what the plugin does, exactly? I looked at the docs for it and it didn't really clear anything up for me, at least not in how it could help my situation.

You have a string variable for indexing which object you want to create.

Normally, you need to add conditions to compare this variable to create object. Using nickname plugin, you could create object by this string variable directly. So that it could replace these conditions into one action.

Just download example, It's very simple plugin yet very flexible.
