Mass hitTest and area hitTests - Problems

1

I’m trying to get this hitTest to work correctly… So far it seems to ignore the -25, and +25, and needs a direct hit to register.

I’m trying to figure out how to kill anything within the 25x25 explosion range…

I have two hitests, one counting down, and one counting up. In order to kill two targets if they are there. But I need to figure out a way to kill anything the missile hits…


for (e=0; e<_root.enemyNumber; e++) {
    if (_root["enemy"+e].hitTest(this._x-25, this._y, true) | _root["enemy"+e].hitTest(this._x+25, this._y, true)) {
        _root["enemy"+e].life -= 25;
    }
}
