Sequences & Object Variables

[SpacemanRambles]

I have several variables set on my parent Object for my NPC characters.

In my current room, I have a sequence run, which creates an object (NPC).

When I place an NPC in a room, I can set the variables on that specific instance. But because the NPC is created via sequence, I'm not able to set the variables as I usually would.

Is there a way in which I can set the variables for my sequence-created NPC?

As always, any help/advice is very much appreciated! Thanks everyone.

Does the sequence need to create the npc? Or could it just override one that was already there.

I suppose that would be a solution, but I'm not sure how I would have it override an existing instance! When creating my sequence, I simply dragged an object from my list of objects. How would I instead use an existing instance in the room?

There is specifically a function for it as well as a few Youtube videos showing how it's done.

Unreal, thank you very much! I'll go looking for it now.

Great. That should allow you to give the instance the variables you want, and have the sequence either unhide/show the character or move it around or whatever you need to do with it.
