Thanks, that helps alot. Looks like I'd misread another forum and confused UID's and IID's.

I've just found some really useful instance reference in this thread scirra.com/forum/how-do-ifrequently-asked-questions_topic45416.html

Thanks again for the help

Hi,

I'm trying to access a specific object instance (in this case a rocket) and position it depending on the position of my ship - Just for context this is to show that the ship is currently carrying the rocket.

My understanding is that the first Rocket I create will be assigned a UID of 0. Currently I'm creating a single Instance of Rocket, when I position all Rocket objects over my ship the Rocket appears but if I specify the Rocket with a UID of 0 it doesn't appear. Note I'm not deleting any rockets at this point so this shouldn't be the issue.

My Events look like this

Works fine

<font face="Courier New, Courier, mono">

   Player | Weapon = "Rocket"

   Action -> Rocket | Set position to (Player.X, Player.Y)

</font>

Rocket not positioned on Ship

<font face="Courier New, Courier, mono">

   Player | Weapon = "Rocket"

&& Rocket | Pick Instance with UID 0

   Action -> Rocket | Set position to (Player.X, Player.Y)

</font>

Apologies if this has already been answered, I've been through everything I could find on Unique, Instance ID's in the forums and couldn't see what I am doing wrong.

Many thanks

Ben
