Act on your instances, get/set their properties and variables only thanks to their UID. No more picking trouble! Plugin
  • I want to make an event where when the main character collides with an enemy it destroys it so I am trying the following:

    Event if enemy A collides with hero

    OR

    Event if enemy B collides with hero

    OR

    Event if enemy C collides with hero

    THEN store that enemy UID

    Sub event if hero animation is "attack"

    THEN pick and destroy that enemy using the stored UID.

    Thing is I can't find any way to pick that enemy's UID generically (regardless of the type of enemy A, B or C) I know that this can be achieved by making separate events for each enemy, but I find that to be too redundant.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated :D

    Thanks in advance

  • on collision > set a variable to enemy.uid

    attack animation is finished > pick enemy by uid "variable" > destroy

  • Ok that was what I was pondering right now it seems there is no generic "pick" event that chooses the uid of whatever object collided with hero guess I will have to handle them separately. Thx

  • if you put the enemies into a family you could save the uid of the family

    the collision would pick the right enemy a,b or c

  • if you put the enemies into a family you could save the uid of the family

    the collision would pick the right enemy a,b or c

    How would I put the enemies into a family? What's a "family" in C2 terms?
