Well, the thing is, I have 10 different weapons, and you can carry only one per time. The weapons are the pistol, the submachinegun, the slugshot cannon, the assault rifle, the tesla coil cannon, the death ray cannon, the flare gun, the HEAT rocket launcher, the crossbow armed with "Crossbolts" and a remote detonator for bombs I call "Crossbolts".
All weapons shoot like I want, everything works like I want... but some weapons DON'T damage enemies. The only ones that directly damage them are the first four bullet weapons. There are two with indirect damage (remote bombs and flare guns) and other four weapons that do direct damage, BUT NEVER WORK.
What I mean is, everytime I take a direct hit right at an opponent with a rocket, instead of wasting him away it won't reduce a little bit of his health. The code I use to calculate the damage is quite simple...
Each shot has its Value C as its damage (I wanted it to be random), and when hitting an unarmored target it reduces the health of him by the Value C of the shot, and if it's armored, reduce the health and the armor by half of the Value C of the shot.
It seemed to work perfectly with the bullet weapons, but couldn't get to work with newer weapons.
If someone understood this quite long post, please HELP ME!!! URGENT!!! I NEED IT!!! IT'S THE ONLY THING THAT'S STOPPING ME!!!

are your weapons even making valid collisions with the enemy?

Yes. All bugs are fixed... except for that!

The only thing I can think of is that maybe you've got the code set up so that the later weapons get destroyed upon collision before the code that causes the damage has been processed. It seems silly, but I know I've made stupider mistakes before, so you might take a look just in case.

How are you counting the enemies health? is it in a counter, or value ...
Are you sure it's not doing damage at all? Maybe you have the event coded like:
(Value A of enemy is their health)
Value A of enemy = 0 : Destroy !
If the rockets subtract too much health from the enemy, it won't work with the above line..
For example if an enemy had 10 health and the rocket did 15 damage, then after subtracting damage, the enemy would technically have -5 health (which isn't 0 ..)
So you would instead code:
Value A of enemy <= 0 : Destroy !
But I'm not sure of your coding experience, all I know is that this has happened to me a few times in the past. So..I dunno. It's just a suggestion. Just trying to help.

its all about the order of the actions, or maybe your using groups, they don't work in tgf
