If I made a container w/ a "Ship" and "engine Graphics" sprites, BUT the amount of engine graphics sprites is unknown, how would I do that?

So, I might need to make a ship with 2 engine graphics and another with 4.

Probably better to go with a family. Containers always have the objects contained affected, and or picked.

You could continue to add objects to the container, and use a pv to set opacity, but that seems like a waste.

That's what I want. If there are twenty ships and one gets destroyed I want the engine graphics to get destroyed with it.

That's fine unless you plan on making the ship that has 2 the same object that can have 4.

The two extras would be created regardless.

There's also the object pairer...
