it works but i have to turn and get right next to it and position myself
perfectly to get my health to go down. (probably becuase my collision sucks).

since you're checking for collision vs all other objects at once, the 2nd player object (extended collision object) will always collide with your player object. you can alter this line in your code to exclude the extended collision object.

change this:


to this: (where ExCO is your "Extended Collision Object")


you'll also have to run a check for ExCO by adding another line like:



and don't forget to move the 2 objects together.
at the same time, if you're just using the extended object to get a different type of collision (a wider collision radius for your player), then just check ExCO and cause it's collision detection to move the player object. aka, you could turn the collision OFF on the player object, relying solely on ExCO.

you get the idea

that into my code so it works, so that collision is off on "enemy"? It would help me SO much bro. please.

thanks in advanced.
