Well im just asking for help on how to do this When you click the Object 1 it blows up and removes the objects 2 around it
i know how to make smoke come of it but i don't know how to remove objects around where ever the object 1 is sitting

Well one way to do it is to just make a circlular invisible object appear for a few frames at the explosion, and make a collision eveent with everything you want to be destroyed get destroyed when it collides with it.

No idea how to do that

Well which part don't you know? There's a few simple things in that:

A)Create an object at a position
Make it invisible
C)Collision events with an object
D) destroying an object
E) Creating an object that lasts only a few frames

I don't understand the collision part

Okay so make the circular object called something like explosionRadius

Take everything you want to be destroyed, like enemies, walls etc. In those objects, go to events, and make a collision event. with the drop down menu, choose explosionRadius. In action, make it destroy itself

Ohhhhh i get it

[ThatOneGuyX]

But i have 1 prob how do you make it the Collision object removes its self after

[greep]

You just give it a timer and destroy it after the timer reaches a certain point, probably 5 or so frames. So

Create:

Timer = 0

Step:

Timer += 1

if (Timer = 5)
{
instance_destroy()
}
