Hi,

I've looked around the manual and forums and tried but can't crack this. I have multiple instances of an object (yellowguy) and I want them to pick the nearest instance to another instance of an object (cover), of which there are multiple. I've read that I need to store it to a variable in order to use it for other actions, and I have set up instance variables on both yellowguy and a family containing yellowguy. But only one cover position is ever stored.

Can someone steer me in the right direction?

Below is an image of the last combination I tried.

Cheers

You need to move "Every 0.5s" and "For each yellowguy" to the parent event.
Every 0.5s Yellowguy is aware For each yellowguy Cover Pick nearest....

dop2000Thank you so much. I think I probably tried every combination except that yesterday and my brain was about to explode.
It works perfectly now.

May all your bugs be so easy to squash.
