Swap data between two objects of the same type?

I have managed to do this - but it's very laborious.

If 2 objects of the same type collide, I want them to swap their angles - simple enough. (Obviously I have to use a holding variable when I swap them.)

The problem is getting the data out of the appropriate picked object - you can't do it without picking them specifically. I ended up with something like this:

Maybe that doesn't look so bad, but if I want to scale it to be a little more complex than that then it quickly becomes and unreadable mess with everything copied into unreadable variables.

Ideally I would be able to do:

tempAngle = ant[0].angle

ant[0].angle = ant[1].angle

ant[1].angle = tempAngle

Is there any way with the picking to get more elegant code like this?

If you make a family containing only the ant, you can try the collision between the family and the ant, then you can pick them separately

Nice. Thanks.
