hi all, hopefully i get help here for my noob question!

im doing two array lists, one for the enemys and one for my weapon (bullets). but, why just my last bullets are reacting on my enemy if im doing endless firing?

…
self.enemys = [None for i in range(count)]

    for i in range(count):
                    
        self.enemys[i] = loader.loadModel("models/enemy") 
        self.enemys[i].reparentTo(render)
        self.enemys[i].setScale(.2,.2,.2)
        self.enemys[i].setPos(enemyPOS(i))

thx for help…

you know there is [ code ] [ / code ] tags?

I think your problem is some place with naming the task the same or naming your intervals the same (or not naming them at all in this case)
consider “projTask%”%id(some object)
i cant test your code because its incomplete.

self.enemys = [None for i in range(count)]
for i in range(count):
    self.enemys[i] = loader.loadModel("models/enemy") 
    self.enemys[i].reparentTo(render)
    self.enemys[i].setScale(.2,.2,.2)
    self.enemys[i].setPos(enemyPOS(i))

You don’t loop over ii in projINTERACTION. Actually ii seems not to be defined at all. This should give you an error…

the code tags!

i changed form the distance measuring to a collision recall…

thx for all the help
