Basically, I have a game with simple hitTests with a 2d 8-way moving system. I have multiple things that I want to do the same kind of hit detection for, water, trees, etc. Problem is, I can’t figure out how to do it. Since you can’t set the same instance name for mulitiple objects, I have no idea what to try next. Can anyone help?
