Help with repeated Events/Actions for different instances of the same object

Hi everyone, I need some wisdom. Today I spent around 4 hours trying to figure out how to apply a set sequence of events that effect each instance of an Object. I eventually found a solution but I'm sure it wasn't the most efficient one.

What I needed to do was make each instance of an object invincible when the instances' animation frame was between a certain range (in this case, frame 74 and 286).

This was the events that I set up, which would work when there was only ONE instance:

Using a repeat loop, I would be able to create 12 instances but the events would no longer work properly (which I expected). It was like most of the instances would become invincible at the wrong time.

I tried numerous work arounds and play testing, hence the 4 hour process. Eventually

I found the following solution:

I avoided doing it like this because for some reason, I felt like it's the least efficient way of doing what I needed, and my problem was a lack of understanding of Construct 3.

So, even though I have a method that works, can anybody give me any pointers on how to work with instances with more efficiency?

Cheers everyone and have a lovely day, and if anyone asks for it I'll try and link my project, I actually don't know how to do that at the mo :)

Have you tried 'For each' in System?

Something like that:

+ System: For each BossTargets

----+ BossTargets: Animation frame = 74

----+ OR BossTargets: Animation frame = 286

-----> BossTargets: Set collisions Enabled

----+ System: Else

-----> BossTargets: Set collisions Disabled

Hi Asmodean,

I tried a ton of loop based things, and I think I didn't use For Each. Most likely because I've misunderstood what it does. I'll give it a go and let you know if it works :)

Asmodean, thankyou! I wish I had asked sooner :)

It's true that I thought For Each worked in a different way than it does, which is probably why I ignored it. Foolish! lol

Thanks again and all the best!
