Edit UID/IID?

I created a bunch of copies of a base object at design time, but I just sort of assembled them without thought of what order they were in... there are 57 of these and I need them positioned specifically at design time vs. runtime.

But at some point, I want to be able to loop through them in order and I assume this is done by the UID/IID?

So my question is can I edit the UID or Instance ID of these items to make them sequential in the order I want them to be processed in? Sort of like a tabindex for an HTML form.

Thanks!

Whilst I'm not sure about the whole idea of changing their UID/ID's, you could do a workaround!

Have an instance variable for the object (e.g "AnotherID"), and do a "Start of Layout" and "ForEach(ordered)" loop (This will pick each object starting with the lower/highest value given, so you could specify the object's X position and it will pick from left to right in order) and in this loop, set the object's "AnotherID" to loopindex. Now you'd have each object with an ordered ID!

Thanks for the lead.. I guess I should have looked at the ForEach(ordered) criteria, I just assumed it processed them in IID order, not that I could specify.

I just put an instance variable called ProcessOrder and manually set them. These objects don't move, so the order of processing is set in the game design.

Awesome, thanks!

You could also arrange their z-order, and "For Each" by that order.
