Now, imagine two targets that are overlapping eachother in 2D but one of them is closer on the z axis. If I create a bullet object that overlaps both targets, they both get destroyed. Whats the best way of saying 'on collision, destroy the target that has the greatest/least z value'? n/a

No clue if that would work though, as don't exactly understand the problem... ----------------------------------------- Death is the only cure for madness such as his, even that solace escapes him. iOS App -> http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/jimmy-dungeon-escape!/id467193691?ls=1&mt=8

Andy, If at all possible I'd like to accomplish this without extensions and without extensive looping. Currently I'm using a fastloop to go from the bottom of the screen to the top and the first object that I come across that is overlapping the bullet gets destroyed.... But that is a HEAVY loop to run every cycle. n/a

What is your reason for not wanting to use extensions?
