[help?] Random Pick for trap placement

Alright so I'm almost through coding the first boss for my game.
The boss is going to blacken the screen and spawn lanterns in circle.

Link will have to pick the right Lantern to attack.
The correct one stuns the boss while the rest will just hurt link.

The thing that I need help with coding is one of the lanterns needs to randomly be unique while the rest are the same.
I want only one of the lanterns to stun the boss.

How would I go about randomly giving one of the objects such a variable when they're all created?

I think its something like:

Code: [Select]

createdinstance = instance_create(x,y,instance)
with (createdinstance){
unique = 1
}And so on. Of course you'll have to make the chance random and make it check to make sure there's not 2 of the unique ones on screen.

Your community is a bunch of stuck up turds.

{
  unique=false;
}
(instance_find(objlantern, floor(random(instance_number(objlantern))))).unique = true;

This is working! Awesome thankyou
If anyone wants to learn from this thread, you can call this code for your instance from a separate object once they have all been created and it will give one of them the variable "unique=true"
