How do I retrieve the value of any clicked or touched sprite

Hi, a question of an enthusiast newbie. I hope this first post is in the right place. I hope also somebody has an solution for me. I can't find it myself yet.

This is the situation:

I have many different sprites with different names and different values stored in their instance variables (numbers).

I know how to retrieve the value of every sprite separately by name, but I thought it would be easier, nicer and faster to make a function that I can use for all the different sprites with their different names and values to let them do the same Action.

But how can I retrieve the value of that clicked or touched sprite, getting it's value only because it's clicked or touched, to use in a function?

Or maybe that's not possible? Or is it simple and I can't find it?

All help will be very much appreciated, thanks a lot in advance.

Sounds like you would need to put all your different sprites in a single family, have this family have a common family instance variable and each instance of each object type having a different value.

This way "Touch: On touched FamilyName" will allow you to get FamilyName.InstanceVariableValue. (I hope this makes sense).

Thanks for the quick answer. Could not find out, how to deal with it, so solved the problem by copy and pasting a lot. Works fine, just more work.
