How can I pull a random object with a specific flag status?

[Robotica]

Hi guys,

I am working another stage of my project and I have a question regarding how I can pull an object that has specifically flag 0 as off.

picking an object at random that has flag 0 set off.jpg

As show in the image attached... I have the group of targets (on the right side) in the event editor each having their flag 0 set off at the frame start. At line/event #6... I have "Timer equals 01"-02 then pull a random object from group.targets"... and then in the actions I have it place it at one of six points, run the appearing animation and also setting flag 0 on.

But for the condition I am clicking and right clicking everywhere... how can I tell it I want to pull an object that has flag 0 off? This would probably fix my problem that sometimes I get 5 or 4 or 3 targets to show up when there should be 6. I've been experimenting with this for about 10 hours... I'm pretty persistent and determined... but not knowledgeable enough yet on how to get the program to do what I want.. I simply don't know where to click to have all these ideas come to life.

Any pointers would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Snail, I was actually watching your youtube video entitled "don't use flags!" lol.

Umm... I don't have a coding background but managed to get 2 of 10 stages coded already...

So with no coding background I don't understand the +'s and -'s... is that condition (+) and action (-)?

Oh, and I forgot to ask... are the flags off by default? I couldn't find that anywhere after consulting my trusted pal google. Thanks!

Hmmm, I just notice my picture attachment is super small... weird... it's full screen when I uploaded it and inserted the image. Weird...

Well, although I don't understand any of what you said just now... I will read it a few dozen times until I do understand it. Thank you, appreciate the study material!
