I have everything else working but my bullets doesn't "kill" enemies. I'm using this HitTest script in my "enemy1":

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest(_root.bullet1)) {
_root.removeMovieClip();
}
}

I've checked instance names and they were right.

You can't remove the _root >.<

You need to specify the clip you want removing:

this.removeMovieClip();

[Cecemel]

or _root.enemy1.removemovieclip()

or not?

Hmm... Still doesn't work.

Here is the script from the "bullet1":

onClipEvent (load) {
spd = 50;
// bullet speed
_x = _root.Player1._x;
// Move to player _x
_y = _root.Player1._y;
// Move to player _y
_rotation = _root.Player1._rotation;
// Point in same direction as player
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_name == "bullet1") {
_x = -1000;
// Move the original bullet MC offstage
} else {
// Run this movement code on all dupes
if (_rotation>180) {
_y += (spd*Math.cos(Math.PI/180*_rotation));
_x -= (spd*Math.sin(Math.PI/180*_rotation));
} else {
_y -= (spd*Math.cos(Math.PI/180*_rotation));
_x += (spd*Math.sin(Math.PI/180*_rotation));
}
// if(hitTest(_root.enemy)){ blahh; } Not going to address this here, check AS: Main for hitTest threads.
}
if (_x>Stage.width || _x<0 || _y<0 || _y>Stage.height) {
// If off-stage, delete the dupe to save CPU
this.removeMovieClip();
}
}

And here is the code from frame:

var bc = 1000;
// bulletcount
_root.onMouseDown = function() {
bc++;
if (bc>1010) {
bc = 1000;
}
// Reset bulletcount
duplicateMovieClip("bullet1", "b"+bc, bc);
// Create dupe bullet
};

You can only remove MC's that have a depth above 0. Try this:

this.swapDepths(9999);
this.removeMovieClip();

It's because the duped bullets don't have the instance name of bullet1. They're named b1000-b1010.
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
for(n=1000; n<1010; n++) {
if (this.hitTest(_root["b"+n])) {
this.swapDepths(9999);
this.removeMovieClip();
}
}

just go to the AS: Main thread by Denvish and find what you looking for.

[dragonjet]

i got some suggestions...

dont use this... specify the name of the movieclip...
for example... _root.bullet.hitTest(_root.enemy)

oh and try any of these:
_root.enemy.removeMovieClip();
removeMovieClip(_root.enemy);

if we arent any help... try searching for answers HERE
