Change a specific instantiation animation object value

Lets say I had a grid of 18 instantiations of a green block and I wanted to click on one of them and then change the animation set to another color based on clicking on a grind pallet of 6 preset colors.

What would be the best practice for doing this? Right now I'm doing it random but would like to be able to select the random "UID" and have the user be able to set it to a preset color.

Hey greenleafvt

easiest way would be to give both sprites the same animation name:

Another and more flexible way would be the effect 'SetColor'. Put a color code to an instance variable a load it on start to the effect.

Kriand,

Excellent! that was what I was trying to do. The system-pick Box.UID was what I needed for sure. Also thanks for showing me that I didn't need to change the animation and could do it through effects. Like learning something new about Construct 3 every day
