How do I swap local values?

Hi guys! My problem is that I don't understand how to swap values in instance variables.

Let's imagine I have sprite stuff_1 and sprite stuff_2 with family instance value 1 and 2.

I want to set stuff_1 with stuff_2 value and stuff_2 with stuff_1 value.

Because of Construct works from up to down, I have the situation that one of the values is already changed and give the other the changed value. I mean that in our situation stuff_1 has value 2 and gives it back to stuff_2, and value stuff_2 was not changed. Who knows how to simply fix it?

Do you actually mean local variables or instance variables?

Family instance variables in my case,sorry for mistake

How about using a detour and adding an instance variable swapvalue..

first set swapvalue and only after the swap is completed set the values swapped to that value..

The general case for swapping values is

temp=A

A=B

B=temp

This was really useful, thank you. Trying to use it for an inventory management system, it's tough but I'm almost there!
