I was having issues that clicking on the tank would spawn more tanks and it wasn’t getting selected and they were caused by a couple of little mistakes. I’m putting the solution here in case other people did the same thing.
When we did the instantiate code, I just used the transform rather than the transform.position and transform.rotation - its perfectly valid and works fine. But it makes the spawned object a child of the parent - which is often desirable for organisational purposes, but not in this case because every click on a child object registers the click event on the parent.
The second issue took me far too long to diagnose, I’d disabled the circle object itself not just the sprite renderer. I rewatched the video twice looking for issues with how I’d assigned the events and it was as simple as having unchecked the wrong box
