How do I pick the next nearest sprite?

Hi.

I have multiple instances of a sprite, one with a variable number set to 1 while the others are set to 0. I'm trying to pick the instance of the sprite that is closest to the sprite with it's variable set to 1. I tried a few things I saw on other forum posts but none seem to be working.

Basically, this is what I've been trying:

Pick all (sprite)

-Pick (sprite) where variable = 1

--Pick (sprite) nearest to (sprite) --- Destroy

That just destroys the sprite that has a 1 for the value.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I guess essentially I want to pick the second nearest sprite.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Create two local variables, localX, localY

Pick (sprite) where variable = 1

-localX=Sprite.X

-localY=SpriteY

-Pick all (sprite)

--Pick (sprite) where variable = 0

---Pick (sprite) nearest to (localX,localY) --- Destroy

Brilliant! Works great.

Thanks a lot for taking the time
