Hi,

I have a bunch of potential spawn locations. They have a "isOccupied" variable, and I wish to pick one that is not occupied.

I tried using the pick by evaluation, but that seems to pick multiple. "Trigger once" didn't help. It's been years since I have used Construct. Would like some tips here please.

Use the object itself, compare variable.

Could you elaborate?

Just using the Spawner variable comparison is gonna do a comparison for every Spawner, not one. So I don't think I understood what u had in mind.

I ended up solving it mixing scripting and events. So nice that is possible now :)
