How do I Give priority in an overlapping?

Hello,

I making a beat ' em up, and the hero can hold an enemy if a little sprite square, linked to the hero, overlapping with the square of the enemy.

I don't want the hero can hold two enemies in the same time, but, sometime, they're overlapping togheter ( beacause they entering in overlap in the same time ).

How can I give them the priority?

I tried to say to the software to take the closest in the coordinate X and Y, but probably something is wrong....

Thanks in advance!

Just add a global variable or instance variable IsHolding set to 0, then

Sprite: On collision with Enemy AND IsHolding is = 0 => set IsHolding to 1, pin Enemy to Sprite (or whatever function you have in place.)

(When you are ready to throw, drop or whatever your Enemy:)

If key is down => set IsHolding to 0

That way, it will only act on 1 Enemy at the time.

My bad, what I meant to say is:

Enemy: On collision (or is overlapping if you are using a mouse or keyboard input to trigger the event) with Sprite And IsHolding

sub-event Enemy: pick top instance => ....

Yesss sure! Thx!!!
