How do I pin certain objects to certain objects

The easiest way to explain this is by using a capx. I am trying to pin each black square to each red square. So every red square has one black square pinned to it. I tried giving the black square and the red squares i want to pin variables with the same value and use pick by evaluate, but as you can see in preview, all the black squares are pinned to the first square and only the first. Pinning each separately with an event for each pin won't help, since i need this for a bigger project , in which i would have to pin 5 items to each of 50 items. SO 250 events just for pinning.

Here's the capx: https://www.dropbox.com/s/q3taxjibvlv1t ... .capx?dl=0

Hope you can help me and thanks in advance!

If you add Black and Red sprites to the same container, then they will exist in pairs. You will be able to simply do "Pin Black to Red".

If you don't want to use container, try this code:

System-> For x=0 to Red.count-1
   System -> Pick Nth instance of Red instance=loopindex
      System -> Pick Nth instance of Black instance=loopindex   :   Black pin to Red
[/code:34g0bdhh]

In both cases sprites will be pinned to each other in the order they were created. Black sprite with lowest UID - to Red with lowest UID and so on.

The problem with containers is that i can create one object and at the same coordoinates. I need multiple objects with multiple instances pinned on diffrent posittions. I noticed now my example capx was flawed and induced you into error. The code won't let me do this right?

unfortunately containers won't work because i have multiple object with multiple instances

dop2000 maxlive2010 I managed to do it after all. Thank you so much for your help and quick replies.

Not sure why can't you use containers. Anyway, here is a demo with and without the container:

Oh, I see you need to pin multiple instances to one object. Then yes, your method is ok.
