GM6 Help Shock Defence like shooting

Hi all! OK  i have a game(it's just like shock defence, if you've played it you'll know what i mean if not, google search it.) you have a arrow tower and it has a radius of 50 pixels lets say you have a path like this

                          END
|                    •     |
|   arrow tower here |
|         ___________|
|        |
|_____|

Now I want the arow tower to automatically shoot at the object tht's closest to the end in its 50 pixel radius, see what I mean? can Goodnight or some other smarty teach me?

Umm, I guess something like:

Code: [Select]

var near, arrow;
near = instance_nearest(x, y, object); //object you want to shoot at

if(distance_to_object(near) <= 50){
  direction = point_direction(x, y, near.x, near.y);
  //shoot arrow
  arrow = instance_create(x,y,objArrow);//change objArrow to the name of your arrow object
  arrow.direction = self.direction;
  arrow.speed = 1; //speed of arrow
}
