How do I store a reference to an instance in a variable?

I'm making a camera using lerp...

I want to build a system that can easily change wich object the camera object should follow. I made a global variable "CameraFollowObject" and give it the value "Player".

Now for the camera object I want to make a lerp expression like this: lerp(self.x,CameraFollowObject.x,0.1) but C2 won't let me. Is this a bug or just a flaw in C2?

Is there another way to do this?

You are storing a string (text) not the object. It can't possibly work. Place the objects you want into a Family, then store the UID of the object to follow. Pick the Family object by UID, and do your lerp (by Family.X, etc).

Yep that woked! Thanks for helping
