The elusive hitTest explained

[RegalKnight]

hi i need to know if my code only needs minor tweaking or if i should scrap it and completely over haul it. i want the tank to slow to a stop, and for the rumble to stop or at least lower in volume when the movement key is released. i cant get the wall collision straight

keys are:

player 1
up arrow move forward
down arrow move back
left&right arrow rotate tank
V & B rotate turret




player 2
move forward 8
move back 5
rotate tank 4&6
rotate turret 7&9


hey what do you think of the tank design?

Well thanks for any help and also thanks to someone whose name i cant remember for giving me the code i already have used.
