How to add the same object as a different object?

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

So, the title is very confusing I believe, but I couldn’t find a better one.

What I want to do is:

I have an object, which I want to be displayed (let’s say) ten times.
All ten objects should have a different name, so I can call a collision on them.

I assume, that would be something with a for i= somethingsomething, but I can’t figure out, how I should do it.
I then want to make a function where it checks if the player collides with object1 or object2 or object3 and perform an action.

It would look something like this:

if player collides with object[i] then do this and that

No matter, what I try, It doesn’t work.
Anybody can help me?

Store the objects in a table. [import]uid: 12108 topic_id: 6021 reply_id: 20668[/import]
