It would be best this way because depending on what you are planning to do with your project with what was suggested would keep getting run every tick and just keep setting the frame back to 2 instead of setting it to two and then stopping it. So the event will only execute when needed instead of every tick. I mean if it is sitting on frame 2 might as well stop it an not use unnecessary processing. When you ready for it to run fully start it back up. But the stop does work. Well in 196.2 it does.

Actually you don't need the stop in the first area cause you switching the animation anyway.

Its not necessary to use the mouse function just use the Button on click feature and it works fine. Here is you capx fixed.

Use 'Else' statement for testing

NumberTest==0

else NumberTest==1

Yup it works. Have it up an running now. I just look and I see what you mean but it works regardless.

Maybe because there is the System Filter and then there is the Object Filter. So the System Filter List is separate from the Object Filter List so it doesn't get overwritten?? I think that is what it is. . But I could be wrong.

As for the variable The teleportTo is an instance variable that you move to a local variable when you can just called the instance variable like you did to assign it values into another variable. Not to manipulate but just to use the information inside. That what I mean.

Thx though we have something functioning.

Ah ha I thought it would trigger the filter to auto reset when you called the pick by Instance uid.

RE: Variable

Just think its odd to move a variable to another. When you can just use the variable that is already create and holding the value you need

Kinda like

a=cat

b=a

print b

when you could of just said print a

Ok so you have to attach the 'Pick All' for it to actually work cause I just added that on to the file I attached and it does what it is suppose to do now. New users wouldn't think that they would have to do that mainly since the manual documentation doesn't state that. It just states 'Pick instance with UID' to pick an instance of the given number...they wouldn't think to also have the system 'Pick All' part of the event condition. But that would have to do...regardless Scirra would have to see it as a bug to do anything about it anyhow no? But thx cause I wouldn't of thought of doing that.

When I show people I try to show the cleanest way to achieve it and not create unnecessary global variables.(When I can) But I could of sworn I use to do it without the System select.

Yes I tried storing it in a variable and still it didn't trigger. I even type in the UID to just test and still didn't trigger. Families are my holy grail its just people use the free version before they buy and if they have something that says its suppose to select something by UID and it doesn't could be a turn off. But I could of sworn I did this before I don't know what version because I downloaded the updates but hadn't really used in awhile.

No the blue sprite isn't over the dark one initially. Direction behavior is attach to the blue sprite. I didn't use families because the person I was trying to help doesn't have a license to use families. That is when I notice it didn't work. So user that have capabilities to use family is fine for the free not so good. The person was doing a teleport event. So they move over the portal hit space and move to the next spot. If you can't get it working the way it is without families then it must be bug?

Problem Description

Instance Pick isn't picking instance object even though the number is supplied.

**Note** I also notice it didn't work in 194.2 went a few versions back to test it there**

Oh I was going to suggest this. Where you have a instance variable that holds what to Teleport to. So then you have to code it once and it would look at the instance to which teleport it suppose to go to. **EDIT Fixed it wasn't necessary for the variable

Also check for redundancy, if things are getting run every tick that doesn't have to. I think Next Penelope is the same or beyond that in objects and stuff going on and runs smoothly. First before cutting back objects. Check to make sure there are things that could be condensed. When viewing some people event sheets I see them do things multiple times that could of been done in one run through.

What you can do if you want to get real deep is hold the UID to know where to assign them. Then you can check the UID to know which one to store with what variable.

**THIS ONE BETTER EXAMPLE FYI in case you didn't know you can see the assigned UID for every object in the properties window of the layout
