Thanks for the answers. It's quite a complicated matter so I don't want to go into details, but I think I found a solution on my own - I will just have *blank* animations for the ones that I'm not sure they exists in an Object. Then I'll always have an animation to run.

Thanks again for the help.

Hello,

Is there a way to check if a specific animation exists in a Sprite object through the event sheet?

Thank you.

Thanks for the descriptive explanation Yann, I really appreciate it.

I would've used Families to solve my problem, but unfortunately I am currently using the free version of Construct 2 and that's not possible there.

I decided to go with your 3rd suggestion, which was to use my own collision and here is what I've come up with:

And I think that works pretty well. You can check what is the end result barnanimals.comoj.com

If you see anything wrong with my approach, please let me know.

Well I've tried that, but it doesn't seem to work either. Here is a snapshot:

It seems that I am accessing the same instance and the condition is always false.

Hey guys,

I have a problem with picking instances when I have the same type of objects in a particular event - a kind of "Sprite is overlapping Sprite". The problem is that I can't seem to be able to compare their instance variables. Here is a snapshot of my "code":

The only way that I could think of comparing the Team variable of the Fighter objects was through storing it in a local variable and then picking the second instance. However that doesn't work and I have no idea why. Can anyone shed some light on what I'm doing wrong?

Thank you.
