Object targetting issues.

[Almightyzentaco]

I'm attempting to make a scenario where a missile object hones in on an enemy, chases it down, and destroys it.

I got it to work, but the code has a bug I can't seem to fix.

Here is how my code works.

I have an object which is a targeter. All of my enemies are part of a group called enemies.

Here is the code.

Upon pressing S
Negate - group.enemies is getting closer than 0 pixels from windows edge
group.Enemies is visible
pick one of group.enemies
Then
Set targeting object's position at 0,0 from group.enemies
create homing missle at 0,0 from player.

group.enemies is visible
targetting object is overlapping group.enemies
Then
set targeting object's position at 0,0 from group.enemies


The homing missle has it's own code where it hones in on the targetting object. The problem is that when you fire off more than one missle, if the target is destroyed the remaining missles still chase the targetting object, which is pasted over nothing.

I'm trying to figure out how to check is the object the targetting object overlaps is invisible. If I can do that then I can call an event that will put it over another enemy who is onscreen.

The trouble is that when you "destroy" enemies they don't actually get destroyed. They simply go invisible so that they can be "respawned" later. So I can't just make the targeter retarget if it's not overlapping an enemy. Since it still is.

Object is overlapping Enemy & Enemy is visible (or negated)
