I learned about Construct 2's events from the manual.

https://www.scirra.com/manual/75/how-events-work

Also, Kyatric has the best [How do I]Frequently asked questions page there is.

Lastly, if you go to [File] and [New], you'll notice there are a number of great example games available.

I studied how the games were structured first, and learned about the Events fast next.

Please press F5 to refresh to see where the enemy would spawn. It will never overlap the Player. <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy">

You're always welcome, ShinobiSlash. I'm glad it worked..!!

Yes, I like the updated one better. Thank you again, 99Instances2Go.

That is again an amazing skill, 99Instances2Go. Thank you very much for the information. (I learned something new again. )

That's exactly the same as what I posted above. Click on Family > Pick top instance. The non-family .capx is pretty much what you posted but like I said it gets out of hand with the comparisons on loads of objects.

Yes, plinkie. You were right. Thank you very much for the information.

The answer is out. Check out 99Instances2Go's post below.

Thank you very much for the update, 99Instances2Go. I've learned something new from you today. I'll find the old thread and update that with this information as well.

I know how to get the highest and the lowest values.

My example below has 3 green sprites that have the UIDs of 3,10 and 11.

Each have 'Variable1' values of 15, 35 and 1.

The UID 10 is the highest and 11 is the lowest.

Getting the values of the variables from multiple (selected) objects sound like they will need array, functions and possibly families.

Could anyone else look into this issue further?

Unless there is someone who can come up with a better way of resolving the issue, you'll need to use Families in order to completely resolve this. (Families are available on the personal and business licenses of Construct 2.)

Here's an example from another thread on how to resolve a 'clicking-overlapping-sprites' issue.

viewtopic.php?f=147&t=79856&p=1067723&hilit=overlapping#p1067723

There's a way to resolve simple overlapping issues without having to use the Families, but that method will need a lot of extra work if you plan to use it for randomly spawning enemies.

I have created this example for another thread, but again it's only good, if the number of your sprites that needs overlapping attention is not set to rise.

You're welcome, Boss95.

This is what I would do.
