there is also an "Is on-screen" condition.

edit - looks like I might have this condition wrong - let me test it and get back to you

edit2 -

not sure where/if I am going wrong or if this is a bug in construct - I will leave it here for 24 hours for people with bigger brains to point out my mistake before I post it in the bug section...

Use "Set text to spEnimies.PickedCount" instead of "spEnimies.Count"

MadSpy - of course, many thanks.
edit

(I've updated the capx above)

I had got it into my head that the spEnimies.Count would only count the spEnimies selected in the conditions on the left and had totally forgotten ( if I had ever known ) about needing to use PickedCount rather the just Count. I wonder how many other actions "ignore" the conditions set ?

I'm off to read the manual again
