How do I set an instance of same object to another iid/uid

Hey there,

iam currently in a little hassle with this one:

I have two instances of the same type in my scene (its an endless runner) and now i want to reposition one object behind the other if theyre outside the screen. So far so good. But how do i place my object (iid 0) behind the same instance object (iid 1) ?

Could not find out currently how to set this up...

Thanks for your suggestion!

Congrats2u

Usual method for doing things where you need to pick two of the same type is to add a Family with just that object type in it.

For example, if you have an object type called Player, create a family called Family_Player with Player as a member.

So, your event could maybe be something like this:

Player is on screen (inverted)
Pick Family_Player where Family_Player.X > Player.X
	-> Set Player.X to Family_Player.X - Player.Width

endless runner & reposition one object behind the other if theyre outside the screen

Endless means that those objects start outside the screen (on 1 side) and move off screen (on the other side) ?

Do they flip each pass ? Or is it a 1 time operation ?

Thats right, they move from right to left, and if they leave the screen they will be repositionated on their old/start position.

The problem is: If i set it up like: if sprite is - 1024 it can happen that there is a small lag or delay and i get a gap between my background sprites. I got four background sprites layers witch are moving trough the sceen an will be repositioned again. And they will move faster and faster and this supports a larger offset, because i think if theyre outsite the screen they will not be replaced on the exact pixel (-1024 (maybe because of latency?))

I thougth i will set it up like: if youre outsite the screen take the current position of the other tiles get their width, and place the repositionated tile exact behind that.

I was hoping that this will avoid these gaps....

Would be great if you got some ideas

Got to place them relative to the last one.

They are probaly the same instance.

So (pseudo) Using a Family containing 'Sprite'

Sprite < Sprite X < -1024

Family > position of right most

____ Sprite > set position ... x = Family.x + 1024 (i suppuse they are 1024 width)

Hmmmm. i didn´t get it.

Here's a working example capx (r244)

It doesn't use Families but is fairly similar to what 99Instances2Go suggested

Just wow. This works perfectly! Thank you very much!
