Pick Nearest 4 instances

Hello, how can I use Pick Nearest to get multiple objects.

This is the case:

There are spawning points around the map and I want them to spawn one enemy each one when the player is passing by them.

How can I do that??

Thank you.

I think you're better off avoiding the "Pick Nearest" condition in this scenario. You could probably somehow use it in conjunction with the "pick all" condition to find the nearest 4, but that seems like a really ugly solution to me.

There could possibly be a more elegant way to do this, but this is what I came up with:

Demo

Annotated Capx

It stores the distance between the hero and each enemy in an array, sorts the array to find the 4 with the shortest distance, and changes their frame.

zatyka amazing solution! I'll save it for future purposes, hehe

zatyka A slightly simpler way that doesn't need an array: pick4nearest.capx

You know what was simpler?, I asigned the turret behavior to the spawners and asigned the player as target, then I just listen for the "onTargetAdquired" to trigger and I spawn enemies.

This way everytime the player gets on range it is adquired by the spawners and they trigger.

Awesome! I hadn't considered ordering a loop by a calculated expression.
