Pick by Evaluate : need help in an event?

Hi everyone... need a little help with Pick by evaluate event here,

Imagine a grid of object(sp_tile), i want to pick tiles around a tile if they are present and set a variable to the picked tiles, i am using following events to make that happen...

But it never works. What am i doing wrong here?

I don't think it works that way. 'Pick by evaluate' is for instances and a tile is not an instance from a tilemap.

I think you have to loop through the tilemap tile for tile and look if the surrounded tiles are the ones you want.

I made a little example:

Its not a tilemap object its just a sprite object with name "sp_tile".

Oh, sorry I misunderstand that.

This won't work. You use an 'and'-block. So there are opposite conditions in this block and the block will always be false. That should be an or-block, but 'Pick instance' is only for one instance, so it will only pick one instance (the last one) and pickCount would be 1.

You have to split that up in 4 events and count the instances separately.
