I'm really not sure what's wrong, but for some reason this code just isn't working...the "bomb" appears when you right click, and it's supposed to destroy( read: hide) the small gray spheres. Can someone just take a look at this and see what's wrong?



Thanks!

if object collision(bomb#+201,0)>0 and object collision(bomb#+201,0)<21 then hide object bomb#+201

[edit] nevermind, that won't work...

Maybe it's the scaling for the bomb...

You need to check collision of each object in a for-next loop

The problem still seems to exist, even in your code Crit.

I've transfered it to box collisions now, as I thought that would be easier, but...



...still broken.

Really? That code worked for me. At least I think it did... The bomb exploded and took out the first 10 or so circles as the explosion grew. What is supposed to happen? BTW, I tried it in DB Pro.

edit: by "that code", I mean the code I posted, not the box collision code you posted.

It does work that way, but that's not the right way for it to work. It should destroy spheres as it comes to them, while instead, with the collision of the first, it destroys all that it's going to eventually destroy. Slow down the framerate and see for yourself, it's weird.

I've cut down to the basics again, because I need to figure out this problem before moving on to collision boxes, since at least in this form the spheres can be collided with(unlike collision boxes), even though wrongly done. The bomb now destroys all the spheres though, so I don't really understand what's going on anymore...not that I ever did
