How do I update a variable where there are multiple instances.

So. I have player base(s)

I have bodies.

Each base spawns and pins a body. And gives it the same variable to group them. count.

I want the base to tell the body its angle every tick. In a variable .deg.

I've tried

for each torso, base.count=torso.count

Set torso.deg to base.deg.

But this only seems to affect one instant of the torso, or it affects them all.

Is there a better function to do this? Like for each instance.

Or, a better way to check sprites individually?

Or should I group them into families?

I can post a demo if needed

Put Base and Torso in a 'Container' (see manual for more info). This means when you create a Base, it will also spawn a Torso, and they will relate to each other in events automatically without having to use variables.

Also I'm not sure how you created a custom variable called Count, that shouldn't be possible afaik.

Wow! Yup, I'm a construct 2 guy. Just working from what I remember.

I'll try hierarchy or containers. Construct 2 had families. I toyed with the idea, but couldnt find it..

So just tried brute forcing it.

Lionz, no it's a variable called bodycount. Was just trying to simplify it for the example.

Thanks for advice guys. Apprieciated

Ah. Yeah. So. I have bodies linking to bases.

But, I have several sets of bases. All spawning in their own torso.

Will I need to make several bodies to corilate to their own group?

Guess I'll find out soon enough

For containers - yes.

For hierarchies - not necessary, you can combine any objects.

Wow. Hierarchy is powerful. Had no idea. So simple! Thanks for the shout this will make everything easy
