imhotep22 You are totally right! They explain how to do this in the documentation and it makes a lot of sense. I will pick the instance from the instance variable - ID instead of the UID provided by Construct.

Anonnymitet It seems like a very useful plugin! Unfortunately I cannot use it, I'm already using C3 because I'm working on a mac and the plugin is not adapted to C3. I Hope it will in the future.

99Instances2Go I'm picking a couple of objects randomly from the family and I add them to screen at random X position, the objects are created at runtime (no spawning).

Thx to all of you!

I just wanted to pick an existing instances.

In other language I could pick an instance from the instance name that's why I was confuse.

Solution:

I've sent the UID of all the objects from the family in a array and then I create an event "Pick instance with UID - UID number from the array" from the family.

It worked perfectly!

Thx for the reply!

Yes, that's exactly what I've done and it worked perfectly!

Thank you for your help!

I have a family (colors) that contains 3 objects (blue, green, red). I want to select or create each one of them by name. (dynamically)

I'm using a familie because they can be drag&drop and they behave the same way and the familie will contain much more objects.

I thought I had 2 options to achieve this, to select them by instance name or to create them one after one.

If I create one object from a familie it creates automatically all the objects from that familie. (not an option)

I didn't found a way to select the object by instance name ?!?! (weird because it's usually a very basic to do but doesn't seem to be an option)

How can I achieve this simple task?

Thx!
