Hi,

How to get the Name of the object in a group.

I'm trying to get the value that is in the variable of one of its objects in the group.

For example, my "Enemy" group contains 3 objects: Enemy1, Enemy2, Enemy3.

The group contains variables global to the group, e. g. HP, MP, PT.

Each enemy has different values, I would like to recover

the value found in one of its variables.

The problem is, I don't know the name of the enemy in advance.

The name of "The enemy" will be moved to a function.

So I get the name of The enemy in one of the parameters of the function

then I have to get the values of his variables.

But I can't do: Enemy. Name.

Have I been specific enough?

enemy.ObjectTypeName

Oh yes, thank you!

But I don't think it has the right name.

Then how do you get the values of the variables of this object?

When there are multiple enemies you likely have to use a foreach loop. Inside the loop you can access the variables normally like enemy.variable1
