Pick in a collection

Hi there,

i'm having some little problem in picking an item from a collection.

this is a part of the code:

;(BEFORE THE LOOP)
Type Objs
	Field IDs
End Type
s = 20
d.Objs = New Objs
For h = 0 To 2
	d\IDs 			= CopyEntity (MyCube)
	PositionEntity		d\IDs, Rand(-s, s), 2, Rand(-s, s)
	RotateEntity		d\IDs, Rand(-2*s, 2*s),  Rand(-2*s, 2*s),  Rand(-2*s, 2*s)
	EntityColor		d\IDs, Rand(90, 255), Rand(90, 255), Rand(90, 255)
	NameEntity		d\IDs, "MC." + h
	EntityPickMode 		d\IDs ,2 ,True
Next


; IN THE LOOP
	If MouseHit(1) Then
		CameraPick(Cam,Mx#,My#)
		e = PickedEntity()
	End If
	
	For p.Objs = Each Objs
		PName$ 	= EntityName(p\IDS)
		If e <> 0 Then
			EName$	= EntityName(e)
			If PName$ = EName$ Then
				ObjX# = EntityX(p\IDs)
				ObjY# = EntityY(p\IDs)
				ObjZ# = EntityZ(p\IDs)
				PositionEntity 	TxtrFrame, ObjX#, ObjY#, ObjZ#
				ShowEntity		TxtrFrame
				PointEntity		TxtrFrame, Cam
				frm=MilliSecs()/60 Mod 23
				EntityTexture TxtrFrame, Explosion, frm
			End If
		End If	
	Next

it look like the

If PName$ = EName$ Then
				ObjX# = EntityX(p\IDs)
				ObjY# = EntityY(p\IDs)
				ObjZ# = EntityZ(p\IDs)
				PositionEntity 	TxtrFrame, ObjX#, ObjY#, ObjZ#
				ShowEntity		TxtrFrame
				PointEntity		TxtrFrame, Cam
				frm=MilliSecs()/60 Mod 23
				EntityTexture TxtrFrame, Explosion, frm
			End If

works only for the lastest item of the collection.

what am i missing?
any help would be welcome =)

Immediately, before you even begin, this would lose the reference to all but the last object created:

d.Objs = New Objs
For h = 0 To 2
	d\IDs 			= CopyEntity (MyCube)
	PositionEntity		d\IDs, Rand(-s, s), 2, Rand(-s, s)
	RotateEntity		d\IDs, Rand(-2*s, 2*s),  Rand(-2*s, 2*s),  Rand(-2*s, 2*s)
	EntityColor		d\IDs, Rand(90, 255), Rand(90, 255), Rand(90, 255)
	NameEntity		d\IDs, "MC." + h
	EntityPickMode 		d\IDs ,2 ,True
Next

d\ISs = CopyEntity (MyCube)

That line is run 3 times (0 - 2). However, you are using the same type object for the creation of all 3 of them. Did you perhaps mean to place the:

d/Objs = New Objs

inside the loop?

oooohhhh... I've been looking so far that i was blind looking so close =)

thanks indeed Ross,
cheers,
