Ok, I know there’s all these posts on how to use For… loops to hittest, but no matter how hard I try, they just don’t work.

So, after hours of hair tearing, paceing and starting a new game I’ve decided to bother you all for help.

My situation is that in the game I’m making, I have a movable turret firing duplicated bullets. I need to hittest them against a duplicated set of oncoming robots. I’ve tried using a for loop, but I just can’t get it to work.

I’ve attached the .FLA, and I would be grateful if anyone could point out what I’m doing wrong (ignore the values for removing the clips and the random duplication; I had to shrink the stage size to make the file size smaller!)

Thankyou! :puzzle:

Thankyou cyberathlete,

You saved my week!

I see what I was doing wrong now as well…
