Hi guys

1. Black arrow is a bullet, it's armor piercing can penetrate anything, I want to do get one target, not the whole instances.

The observed result was:

2. Black arrow collides every instances. It's not correct.

The excepted result is:

3. Black arrow collides ONE instance, not the whole group.

Do you know what I mean?

Thanks in advance!

why not test each instance coliding with the bullet and compare it to the target requirements.

Love this way of explaining a problem :)

I would just add a "hash*t" boolean on the arrow set to true when it first hits, and add a condition "X arrow hash*t" on the collision detection. This way, you can let your arrow go through the mob without destroying it and not trigger any other damage dealing after the first mob.

I'm sorry I missed this thread. I was very busy, now I really appreciate your help!

I tried to implement with your method and it worked like a charm :D

Besides, there another little help, I implemented another method which uses touch, not bullet. I'm having this problem too... "on touched" input can destroy a group of instances togheter with global variable as boolean, I couldn't figure out.

Here is .capx contains 2 layouts

One is working, it uses bullets and another layout, it uses touch.

Would you take your time to see this problem?

Thanks in advance.

The On touched is picking all of the touched instances. You then need an extra step to pick one of those. Try Pick nth instance. IE: Pick sprite instance Sprite.PickedCount-1

blackhornet brillant.... It seems a trick, anyways thanks! :)
