How do I reset an instances variable of a Sprite ?

Hi!

Is there an action to restore the default Initial Variables of a Sprite ?

Like the action "reset global variables", but just for a Sprite 's instance variable.

Thanks

if you remember initial default values you can directly set current value to initial values, otherwise you can do this "indirectly", make a copy of original values of instance variables and when you want to reset them, set current values to original "copy" values

Example:

"HP" = 500 (original value) -> "HPcopy" = 500 ( the copy)

current HP is 700 and you want to reset initial value

at your condition -> set "HP" to 500 (directly)

otherwise,

at your condition -> set "HP" to "HPcopy" (indirectly)

Yes, I remember initial default values, but I have a lot of instances of the same object. So there's a lot of "pick by unique ID" + "set value" to do...

"Pick all instances" and "reset to default value" would be faster ^^

So I will do this option : Change the values for each instance...

Thank you for your answer.

In that case i think you can use "For Each" action, for change all object instances variable in one time

If you destroy the sprite and create it again then it will be created with the default values. That's a way of refreshing it if it's an applicable method to your game.

Thanks NN81. But could that work in my case ? Because every instance have a special variable number.

Exemple :

UID 25 = variable 2

UID 32 = variable 5

UID 34 = variable 4 etc...

If you destroy the sprite and create it again then it will be created with the default values. That's a way of refreshing it if it's an applicable method to your game.

Thanks plinkie. I thought about that, but in my case the instances must stay in the same position (no reset x and y)

Anyway... Perhaps I may have to find another way to do what I want.

you have to make a new instance variable for all instances with default values, then just for each set other variable to copy values, i have just tryed with three instances player box with different initial HP, and work fine.

Thanks NN81 !

It's a good idea. And yes, it work fine
