Multi-Instance View?

[Names_Pending]

Hello!

I'm currently creating a turn-based game where I want the camera to adjust to follow a random enemy on their turn. However, I am using multiple instances of the same object.

For example, 5 slime objects, with 1 "Enemy View". Any ideas on how I can change the view to follow one of these Objects randomly, instead of it always following the same instance?

There are various ways of doing this.
You could add all instance ids to a ds_list and choose one at random.
If you want to choose an instance that has a certain property / value, then check out this link:

Thank you for your reply.

Unfortunately I've no experience in DS lists, could you provide an idea of how I'd go about this?

Create a list and then use

with

to loop through all instances.
Grab the id and add this to the list as you loop through.
The link above should give some ideas, failing that press F1 and checkout the manual entry.
