I've been working on a tower defense game, and I seem to be having trouble while working on area damage. I have a method in the enemy class that takes away health, and I want to call it from every enemy in range to a specific tower. enemy class method: 
public void hurt(int damage)
tell me if you need more code from the enemy class attempt at area damage in tower class: 
import greenfoot.*;  // (World, Actor, GreenfootImage, Greenfoot and MouseInfo)
import java.util.List;

/**
 *                                          WIP
 */
public class Crusher extends Tower
{
    public static int cost = 25;
    public Crusher(){
        super();//i dont think u have to worry about this, tell me if u need the Tower class code
        this.damage = 2;
        this.range = 75;//in pixels (might change it idk)
        this.attackSpeed = 4;
    }
    int time = (int)(attackSpeed*100);
    boolean spend = true;
    public void act()
    {
        /** only can be placed on path. 
         *  works like crusher from clash of clans builder base */
            time--;
            List <Enemy> prox = getObjectsInRange(range, Enemy.class);
            if(time < attackSpeed){
                Greenfoot.playSound("smash.mp3");
                for(Enemy pie : prox){
                    pie.hurt(damage);
                }
                time = (int)(attackSpeed*100);
            }
        }
    }
}
I don't know how to explain it but it just doesn't work It's supposed to hurt all enemies within the range every 2 seconds or so (however long the time variable takes to reach attackSpeed) it doesn't seem to do that

It might be best to show all the Enemy class codes also.

Nevermind, I fixed the issue by using a for loop: 
import greenfoot.*;  // (World, Actor, GreenfootImage, Greenfoot and MouseInfo)
import java.util.List;

/**

 */
public class Crusher extends Tower
{
    public static int cost = 125;
    public static int range = 75;
    public Crusher(){
        super();
        this.damage = 2;
        this.range = 75;//in pixels (might change it idk)
        this.attackSpeed = 2;//in seconds
        this.projectileType = 1;//one thru four, idk what they'll be yet
        setImage("crusher.png");
        getImage().scale(75,75);
    }
    int time = (int)(attackSpeed*100);
    boolean spend = true;
    public void act()
    {
        /** only can be placed on path. 
         *  works like crusher from clash of clans builder base */
        if(Map.pause == false){
            if(spend == true) {
                Map.money = Map.money-cost;
                spend = false;
            }
            time--;
            List <Pie> prox = getObjectsInRange(range, Pie.class);
            if(time < attackSpeed){
                for(int i = 0 ; i < prox.size(); i++){
                    Pie pie = prox.get(i);
                    pie.hurt(damage);
                }
                Greenfoot.playSound("smash.mp3");
                time = (int)(attackSpeed*100);
            }
            
        }
        
    }
    
}
