Post [Question] Duplicate Hit Testing
Well basicly I was wondering if it's possible to make a duplicate colide with another duplicate.

Post Re: [question] duplicate hittesting
Well I am assuming that you used duplicateMovieClip() to create the duplicates. So let's say you made a loop that creates 5 duplicate movie clips each with the instance name dupe1, dupe2, dupe3...

To add the hitTest to each one, another loop could be used like so:

Code:
for(i=1; i<6; i++) {
  if(_root["dupe"+i].hitTest(_root.hitMC)) {
    //Your code here
  }
}


This should work, but its mainly the _root["dupe"+i] part which you are focusing on. Hope this helps

Well i havnt got flash on this comp to test this out, but it looks to me as if it's hitTesting with a normal mc. Basicly i want it to hitTest with another duplicate. (if i had flash with me i'd be able to trial and error this).

The _root["dupe"+i] part is basically looping through any duplicates of a movie clip... say you have a movie clip calld "mymc1", then you duplicate it and call it "mymc2", and again "mymc3" and so on... this would refer to all of them with the same code.

Errrmm. Ye, maybe it's because the other bit of code. Here it is all together.
Code:
onClipEvent(load){
   i=0
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
   if(Key.isDown(Key.SPACE)){
      duplicateMovieClip(_root.mcno1, "mcno1", i)
      i+=1
   }
}
onClipEvent(load){
      _root["mcno1"+i]._x=_root.mcno2._x
   _root["mcno1"+i]._y=_root.mcno2._y
}

edit: it duplicates but thats it.

Well does it work?
If it doesnt did you try naming the instance of the 2 movie clips?
for the first one mcno1
and for the second on put the instance mcno2

Post Re: [Question] Duplicate Hit Testing
I think I could help out a bit, but I would like to know exactly what do you mean?
Are these dubed MC's hitting a floor or are they attack each other :/
If I could get the situation you're trying to create i could give some better help.

from what it looks like to me what you are trying to do is duplicate mcro right?
i think you should try using

_root["mcno"+i]._x=_root.mcno2._x
_root["mcno"+i]._y=_root.mcno2._y
}[/code]

what you were trying to do was duplicate mcno1 by putting +i it added a number to the end of mcno1 which would give you something like mcno11, mcno12 and so on
tell me if it helps ok
