Pick a sub-object of a family in an event?

I'm using families to create a generic enemy ship for a shoot-'em'up game, and the behaviours and such work well, however I'm run across a stumbling block.

I was wondering if there is a way to check what object has been picked from within a family, something like :

Event 1 - If 'Family1' Is a 'SmallShip' > Fire Small bullet

Event 2 - If 'Family1' Is a 'LargeShip' > Fire Large bullet

The best workaround is just to add a family instance variable that says what kind of object it is or what kind of bullet it fires.

There's a nice little trick

+ Foreach Family1:
   + SmallShip pick by UID Family.UID
      -> Fire Small bullet
   + LargeShip pick by UID Family.UID
      -> Fire Large bullet

Oh - nice trick!

Thanks Yann!

This kills two birds with one stone - my next question was going to be about firing points - as another issue with referencing the family rather than the sub-family object, is that image points don't appear to be picked up when spawning stuff. (Same issue posted in another thread)
