but how can you detect which one was shot, so i have 100 objects and i shot say object 50 or any one how would i be able to delete it
i could right out:
if object collision(bullet,objectnum)
endif
100 times but that would take some time and space so how could i do it easier and get the location on where it was hit to do an explosion effect

erm, check collision of bullet with 0, meaning if the bullet hit anything the function will return the object number that was collided with, then use a range of known object value numbers to take the appropriate action...

if your objects are 2-100 and your bullet is object 1 then

ColTest=object collision(1,0)
if coltest > 1 and coltest <=100 then......
