@Hamzah_Alani can you help me out?

sure thing :+1:

So, you’d first of all want to create two variables (in the default script of the frame) set to the selected characters. By default, let’s set the chosen characters are “none”

// default script, first frame
project.p1='none';
project.p2='none';

Next, select each character box and turn it into a clip.


Make sure to rename each clip based on the character’s name (box, rod, yellow, rei, alex, sam).

Next, create a function for the select coins inside of the default script of the first frame.
This function will be used to detect which character each select coin is touching.

project.selectCoin=function(a){
    var options=[rei,alex,sam,yellow,box,rod]; // array of all options
    var r='none'; // default value is "none"
    options.forEach(function(b){ // for every option...
        if(a.hits(b)) // if touching coin
            r=b.identifier; // change value to the name of the option
    });
    return r; // return the results
};

Since the coins are moved by keyboard, inside of the “keyreleased” script for SP1 coin, add this script:

project.p1=project.selectCoin(this);

Do the same for the SP1_copy clip, but switch “project.p1” with “project.p2”

This way, project.p1 and project.p2 will both be set based on which character box each selecting coin is touching (by “selecting coin” I mean SP1 and SP2, idk if selecting coins is their name but I’ll call them that for now).

Here’s an example file: _game4-6-2023_18-36-32.wick (2.0 MB)
I added in a text clip to show you what project.p1 and project.p2 variables are set to.

Using this, you can know what characters the users have selected.
I hope this is what you needed.
