Picture "red alert" building a warfactory which spawns tanks.
My problem right now is - Iam having trouble with the controls of multiple tanks
Ive tried building them up with self.attributes but when i spawn tank nr 2 it reacts with tank 1 aswell

I really dont want to create 50 similar tank actors to overcome this issue.

I have some thoughs, if i could Use writable tables - but thats not yet an option

Any good idears???

    Why are your tanks reacting with each other? Are they targeting each other, moving towards each other, ...?

    You can give each tank actor a self.ID (index) and have a counter variable game.nextTankID that starts at 1 and increases after each spawn. Then in the tank actor, have a rule that does something different based on the self.ID number.

    I think that you'll have to go with self attributes or make a bunch of different actors. There is no other way that I know of that you help you.
