I've passed two variables into an instance object.

InstanceName: Carrier

InstanceUID: 2

How do I combine that into an expression like this?

Set Position to:

MyObject.InstanceName(MyObject.InstanceUID).X

MyObject.InstanceName(MyObject.InstanceUID).Y

It should parse into something like: Carrier(2).X and Carrier(2).Y

But it's not taking it. I get a "Not a Behavior" error.

Let me know if this isn't making sense.

Thanks,

I'm not sure what you're trying to do - the 'InstanceName' expressions don't make much sense to me. Can you explain some more what you're attempting?

If you want to get expressions from an instance with a specific UID, add a subevent with a 'Pick by UID' condition, then in that event expressions will return results for that instance.

How do I pick a specific Instance by UID only? I have a number, I don't have the name of the object.

And if the UID number is unique, I shouldn't need the name of the object anyway.

When I create a sub event, I have to select the type of object first. How do I get around this and only find an instance by UID?
