Stop Towers from targetting themselves?

I am trying to create a TD game with a more complex aiming behaviour...

not only should towers (and enemys) be able to damage others of the same instance but also heal them later (in different cases of course <img src="smileys/smiley2.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> )

Problem is... I cant even get them to Target each other properly =D

Example file:

dropbox.com/s/9w79dpe1zq0745q/Towerbehaviour.capx

-Drag and drop Green or Red boxes to place green or red towers

-Green Towers Target Red Towers and vice versa

-on clicking a red Tower (not the "buying box") this Tower should be toggled "confused" (Instance boolean)

-Confused red towers are supposed to target other red towers

Problems:

-On Clicking a Red Tower EVERY Red gets "confused"

-Confused Reds seem to Target themselves as they rotate to 0 degrees

If anybody would be able to help me?^^ I'm Confused!!   <img src="smileys/smiley17.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> <img src="smileys/smiley17.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

I believe you need to look into IID and UID to specify specific instances of the tower... Sorry not in front of construct right now so can't provide a better example. Check the manual on using UID and IID. Unique ID and Instance ID.

Check the manual on using UID and IID. Unique ID and Instance ID.

Thank you for your reply:

I cant see a way to integrate UIDs into the default turret behaviour.

I tried to script the targeting without behaviors but couldnt find the possibility to check on a list of instances instead one.

I think that would be needed for terms as:

if - distance

(Sprite(self).x,Sprite(self).y,Sprite(notself).x,sprite(notself).y)

< range ----> fire at (notself)

Any Tips on that?

Hi,

I'm using the free version and thus am not able to use "families" could anyone spend a few minutes and try if using this option could help me out?

If yes i'll finally have to go for the full version. <img src="smileys/smiley2.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Thanks a lot!
