Change touched and non-touched objects values

I have 5 objects in a family called enemies.

I want that, when I touch one of them, their variable "isActive" changes to "1" and the non-touched objects "isActive" variable changes to "0".

Only one object can be active at the time.

I used on touched object to change the touched object, but how about the non-touched? I tried invert is touching object, but then it changes the touched object when I stop touching it too, not just the others.

How can I do that?

This is a little clunky, but when you touch the sprite, you could save its UID, then use that to pick all objects NOT with that UID to set their variable to inactive.

I solved the "toggle active" issue in a way similar to this, only I used another instance variable to do the check for the not-being-touched objects in the family.

Thanks! That's exactly what I needed!

The possibly simplest way to achieve this:

Old post, but am glad I found this. It is still relevant.

I forgot about 'System - Pick all'

It allowed me to remove a lot of extra events and variables.

Thanks Wertle
