  what I want to do:

  family: block

  event: ondrop block

  sub-event: block overlapping with block

  action: destroy block (only the block that I'm dropping)

  nothing happens while it works if I do the same thing with 2 different objects not in the same family.

  I was already trying that but it didn't work (block disappeared instead of swapping) so I was looking for an alternative.

  Could you provide more details about what you're asking? Do you mean switch blocks like in a grid-puzzle game like Candy Crush/Bejeweled?

  yes, like in CC or Bejeweled.

  What does it do?

  Do blocks get created?

  How many?

  Where?

  Is the event sheet attached to the layout?

  Are the blocks set to visible?

  Is the animation speed set to 0?

  no blocks are created. yes, the event sheet is attached to the layout and the blocks are set to visible. I tried to set the animation speed to 0 but nothing happened.

  so I was doing this tutorial (http://gamedevelopment.tutsplus.com/tut ... medev-8071) and it worked. then today I re-started again and it doesn't work. I don't see what I'm doing wrong this time.

  here the first time when it's working

  what if I want the action to be repeatable? click on an a member of a family and affect only that member, then repeat the action on another member and affect only this other member and so on?

  for example: on mouse click I change the position of the object I clicked on and not on the other object of the family.

  if I want to assign a variable value to only the object of a family I'm currently performing an event how do I do? for example on mouse click on an object I want to assign it a variable value and the other objects of the family have the same variable but I don't want to affect them at the same time.

  how would you do the block swapping? I can change position to a block but how do I tell the program to also reverse position to the near block?

  is it possible to implement a system for match detection and block swapping like in common match 3 games without using arrays?
