How do I make an enemy die when I fire at them?

shake081; you can do a hitTest inside the fireWeapon function. Just add something like this:
//
if(enemy_mc.hitTest(xEnd, yEnd, true))
{
trace(”hit!”);
removeMovieClip(enemy_mc);
}
–
Another way is to do hitTest on the sparkles created by the lightning.

Hi, I stumbled accross this site whilst searching for a laser tutorial and this script is near perfect for me. Thank You…..

However, i’m looking to kill enemies not at xEnd and yEnd but where the lineTo intersects the enemy.

In fact the laser would be continuous until it hits either the environment (walls etc) or enemies.

Is this possible?

thanks in advance
