  Dragoonblade, Construct 2 does give each object a unique name on startup, kinda. It gives a unique identifier (UID) number to each object that can be used to pick it.

  Cheers ramones! That worked a treat, and that method will make a tonne of other things easier too. Much appreciated.

  I'm making an RTS. UnitSprites need to check and modify each others variables to attack and track each other. My problem is that with the picking system, once I have picked one UnitSprite it excludes all other UnitSprites from the event, so I am unable to access or modify them.

  For example, I want UnitSprites to track each other by setting UnitSprite.TargetX to the current X position of the UnitSprite designated by UnitSprite.TargetUnitSpriteUID.

  But, when I loop through all UnitSprites, I can't pick TargetUnitSpriteUID because picking is inherited, and TargetUnitSpriteUID has already been excluded.

  What would be the least cumbersome way to set UnitSprite.TargetX to UnitSprite.TargetUnitSpriteUID.X?
