  I've created a minimal executable example here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dC2eeeMpEZtrQjBiYrVyIdXlN--NWY2J

  It shows the strange behavior when pinning the sprites.

  Creating new, pinned, sprites causes ALL the existing sprites of the type to be pinned to the newest sprite.

  This is really giving me a headache now.

  Is this a bug or is it my misunderstanding of how things should work?

  I've got sprites that are created with with a keyboard event. The may have some other sprites spawned and pinned to them at the same time.

  The first spawning works as expected and the pinned sprite follows the sprite it's pinned to.

  When subsequent sprites are spawned, they're pinned to the wrong thing though.

  The SYN sprites all follow whatever the latest packet spawned is.

  The ACK sprites all follow the packet, which is now stationary.

  The SYN and the ACK are both created in (what seems to me) to be the same way.

  

  I've got a c3p here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qSG2DtVnhYu5JrLeMv-hRscG_laO-FUf/view?usp=sharing

  Yes, obviously. Why didn't I think of that?

  Where's the face-palm icon???

  Is there a function to get the number of instances of an object type are created?

  I have more than one layout, each layout has a title on it. I don't really want to have to use polish notation to differentiate between the title object types on each layout. That'll quickly get irritating. I'd hoped that folders would allow me to namespace the objects, but it seems they're just a visual aid.

  So.

  How do people manage the naming conflicts in their projects?

  That's a good idea, I'll do that. Thanks.

  Thanks —,

  It is creating SpriteA instances as expected, one per play area.

  After some more playing about, the sprite escapes with a larger wall albeit a bit less frequently.

  I'd assumed that function calls worked the same as other actions in an event. It seems that this isn't the case though.

  

  As the actions above and below the function call are invoked for each instance of SpriteA that's created, I thought the function call would be as well.

  It turns out that it's only called once though, only one instance of SpriteB is created.

  I have a box build out of four, one pixel wide sprites which have the Solid behavior added. I've generated a sprite in each and given it the Bullet behavior with the bounce off solids setting enabled.

  The sprite quickly escapes the box though, setting the width of the walls larger seems to stop this happening.
