Select which member of family to create

Is there a way to select which member of a famility to create when using System:create?

Let's say I want to create a new enemy at runtime, but I want the enemy created to be randomly chosen in the family.

Do I have to create an event for each type of enemy in the family or is there a more practical option ?

Hey sorry to bump this but I could really use an answer.

to Simplify my question, can you choose which object to create at runtime, at least in a family ?

When you create a family object at runtime it already randomly creates one object type from the family. If you want to create a specific object type in a family then just create that object type.

The thing is, I don't want to create an event for 50 types of enemies, meaning I wish something like this were possible:

system:create(typeOfEnemy)

instead of having to do:

if(typeOfEnemy == 1)

{

system:create(type1Enemy)

}

else if(typeOfEnemy == 2)

{

system:create(type2Enemy)

}

else if(etc)

You could try this plugin:

It allows for "create by name".

Thank you, I'll give this a look
