  No, that's not what I meant. In the previous image, replace "Pick Humtroglodita2 instance 0" with "Pick Humtroglodita2 by UID=Mal.UID". Same with the other three.

  You didn't mention all of the other conditions required Given what I can see, change your four other "pick instance 0"s to "pick by UID = Mal.UID". This will pick the specific object by the base type, and only one of those should match and do anything.

  Then you've got the Damage actions in the wrong place. The whole point of picking instance 0 is so that subsequent actions will only work on that instance. You need to post a CAPX, or at least an image of your events.

  You have that with Pick Good instance 0. That picks whichever the first one is, regardless of type.

  You don't want to pick the individual objects again. Any overlapping Good object is picked, so just "Make damage" on it.

  Literally the window you are staring at when you run Construct. Try it - you'll see the cursor change to a 'plus' cursor as you drag the c2addon over it.

  A general mechanism with the mid() expression.

  Rather than relying on Trigger-once, which only works under certain circumstances, manage the logic yourself. Get rid of the first Wait, so that the bullet & collisions are disabled immediately, then replace Trigger-once with "Follownemy_hp.Collisions enabled". Since you've explicitly disabled collisions, you know that condition won't be met the next time round.

  I also avoid Wait, so use a timer on the Follownemy_hp and set it to expire in 0.5s. Then do the destroy and Add in the "On timer" event.

  The problem with Trigger-once and Wait is they aren't object specific. By making all of you logic object specific, you have 100% control over the behavior/logic of each object.

  The problem is you aren't stripping out the 'newlines', since they still count as characters, but you are separating on '|'. Use trim(tokenat(ajax.LastData,d,"|")) as your value to get rid of the extra whitespace, in this case.

  You need to "Save as single file" and post that.
