Also class project- Sending events to 3 of many clones[SOLVED]

[pdunton]

I am creating a game where people are forced to leave because of an action the player makes.  How do I send events to a random three of a thousand clones?
Thanks!

Hi,

3000 clones?! in game, that's quite a lot... Be careful, you may hit some severe performance drawback if you have all of them active in game...

I would have the clones registered in an list, and then pick one randomly in that list.

For this, you can use ArrayMaker:

No, you misunderstood me.   I meant that I want to send an event to 3 random clones, out of 1000.  (Will 1000 Clones cause me tons of lag?  They only have like 3 scripts on them and this is a 2d game.)  I need to send an event to 3 objects to delete themselves for a shop use.  My computer won't let me download so is there another way?
Thanks

NVM Lane on another thread introduced me to Get Random Object (with tag).  So I will get 3 random objects set them as variables, and send events to them.
Thanks!
