Might have been said already:

The thing that most keeps me away from the newgrounds forums is the lack of any kind of filtering system.
Example:
If I want to find collab topics or animation topics I have to go trawl through pages and pages or worthless noob topics, most of which are totally irrelevant in reguards to what I'm looking for.
There should be a list of tags that the user must choose from when they start a thread, with filter options on each forums main page to only show certain types of posts.
(such as: actionscript, help topic, collab, whatever)

This way if I want to find a collab topic I could simply check the 'collabs' filter box and voila, I don't have to trawl through the irrelevant junk, effectively creating sub-forums for each main forum without the need to actually construct sub-forms.

Combine this with a thread voting system and an arrange by date/score/views button and you get an effective method for filtering out crap whilst losing nothing from the current system.
Being able to blam topics would increase the value of these forums a hundredfold and reduce the currently required constant moderation.

This would also spawn many other options, such as certain important topic tags requiring a greenlight from a mod before they are posted (such as contests or collabs) or even a simple batting average for the threads you have made that limits how many topics you can start per day and how many posts you can make per 30 mins.

My point is, more high profile users will be attracted to the forums if they can avoid the constant irrelevant or useless topics and actually find the good stuff amoungst the crap.

I've done plenty of paid flash work, but the point at which someone becomes 'professional' is a totally subjective opinion.

Serious scripters have bills to pay.

There's a few intros (refresh the page for a diff one)

And one of them is from a game i made, (coming to NG soon) so you probably played that.

hahah that game was dodge

Space man 2074?

I still plan to finish it at some point

On a different note, here's the next Lazy Nation game :

Yeah could do, but the turrents arn't really meant to be a decisive weapon, if they track and lead the shots as well they would be too good.

However I am working on a simple method to make the turrets shoot at eachother. My current method is way too laggy and had to be removed :(

>:0

Thanks for your help.

I would be happy to contribute, just not on a regular basis.

What's the deal with that?

Here's the game I'm working on at the moment, by the name of BATTLE CLASH!

It's a 2 Player split keyboard / Head to Head game.

http://www.lazy-nation.com/chrispington/Battl eClash.html

It's about 3/4 done, but I'm having trouble beta testing it for obvious reasons. If you have a second player handy, test it out!

Still heaps of Unfinished stuff, but Capture The Flag and Battle Clash modes work to satisfactory level.

Comments? Bugs? Tell me!

i'll give you 20 cents

cooooooool

Nice RPG, are you still working on it, or have you given up?

Yeah, i've just finished a game that will be released within the hour at mofunzone. (yes i know his rep but i gave him a chance) so i'm free to go on to another game. I've got a few ideas going, this is one of them. Havn't dcided which one to make yet though, looking for artist and animators first.

}

if (Key.isDown(69)) {
_root.pictures._x -= 4;
}

Make sure the MC's instance name is pictures, not just it's movieclip name.
if it is inside another movieclip it won't work, it's gotta be root level or you'll need more code.
replace 69 with the appropriate keyascii - there's a list here, at the bottom:
http://flash-creations.com/notes/asclass_key. php

make sure this code runs constantly.

I won't spell it out for you, here's some spawning code from a game i just finished.

_root.zombiebase3.duplicateMovieClip("zombie" +_root.zombspawn, _root.zombspawn + 1000);

_root["zombie"+_root.zombspawn]._x = _root["spawn"+spawnpoint]._x ;
_root["zombie"+_root.zombspawn]._y = _root["spawn"+spawnpoint]._y ;
_root.zombspawn ++;

'zombiesbase3' is the movieclip you want to duplicate, put a copy of the MC off screen and use its instance name.

"+_root.zombspawn +'s 1 each time, so that the movieclip that spawns doesnt have a conflicting name.

"zombie"+_root.zombspawn is the name of the new movieclip. this code makes zombie1, then zombie 2, etc

_root.zombspawn + 1000 is the depth that the clip will spawn at. + zombiespawn is important, otherwise there's conflicting depths.

_root["zombie"+_root.zombspawn]._x = _root["spawn"+spawnpoint]._x ;
sets the new movieclips X to that of a spawnpoint, but you'll use simple numbers instead of
_root["spawn"+spawnpoint]._x .

Probably confusing, but yeah, i'm not proof reading it.

"zombie"+_root.zombspawn is the name of the created.
