How do I destroy family but spawn 1 character

So I have multiple character sprites outside my layout and when certain action is finished( in this case fade out) I destroy my family which has 13 character sprites. Next thing I do is spawn one of the characters to a certain location. I do this to save memory because I dont want all of 13 sprites to play animations outside the screen...The problem is, my character is spawned but Its not moving or doing any animations...

I would need to destroy the family but leave 1 sprite undestroyed

The way you are explaing it, it should work, if you have the right behaviours attached and the animations set on..

It has all the animations and behaviours but its not doing any actions....I cna see it on the screen but its like hes not there actually...Is there a way to destroy certain sprites inside the family and leave the others?

Well you could do something like first set a global variable to the uid of the one you'd like to keep, than add a condition family.uid is not global variable > family destroy..

I'm not sure if it would solve your problem, though..

Your character not doing any actions, sounds more like an event-sheet problem, unrelated to the destroy action.

A screenshot of code could help to find/solve the problem. (or a capx)

I found the problem...

"trigger once" did the trick... thanks for your help
