Activating one of 2 overlapping objects

[MegapiemanPHD]

I'm currently working on a game where you pick up and throw different objects, but I have run across a problem. If 2 of the same object are overlapping, they player will pick up both objects at the same time when I would only like the player to be able to pick up one object at a time.

My current set up is this:
upon pressing A when the player is overlapping the object, the player "picks up" the object and the object's position is set to fallow the player. The player also cannot pick up a object while they are holding one.

Any thoughts?

If you pick an object of the same type MMF2 don't know which object you mean! You need to select it.

If you have condition on upon press spacebar -> set X of active object 1 to mouse X, set Y of active object 1 to mouse Y. Then all active objects 1 will be set to X,Y of mouse!
The same situation occurs when object are overlapping...

You should use for each extension.

Thank you for your help. While everything you suggested didn't work, it did give me ideas that led to what did work. What I did was set it so that the object's alterable value gets set to 2 when they overlap, changed my "pick up object code" to account for the objects alterable value to be 0 in order to pick up the object, then made a second "pick up object code" that only works on objects with a alterable value of 2. This second code picks one of the 2 objects at random to pick up. Then when I throw the object it's alterable values get set back to 0.
