How do I spawn a specific sprite from a family.

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to spawn a specific sprite from a family.

Specifically, when the user clicks on a sprite, I want that sprite to spawn in a box below.

All the sprites are in the same family.

This feels like it should be so simple, yet I'm struggling, I'm obviously having a dumb day!

Suggestions are appreciated

Gah, I cant believe I didn't search the forum first (I did Google in my defence)!

Thank you Coin-coin le Canapin :]!

Hi Coin-coin le Canapin,

I must be having a really really dumb day as I cant figure out how to use the nickname plugin to get what I want. I've named my sprites using the behaviour.

How do I now tell which sprite has been touched within the family?

Thanks!

You must use the behavior Nickname "Nickname" property. As "nickname.nickname = …".

by the way the first Nickname is the behavior name, you can rename it if you find this redundant.

This plugin is amazingly useful when working with families.

I hadn't added the nickname behaviour to the family, only the individual sprites! Oh dear . Time for more coffee I think!

Thank you so much Coin-coin Le Canapin! You saved the day .
