Oh okay, thanks, i didnt think of dividing it, i just thought there was a different way of doing it. thanks

Okay i have an exp bar with this script on it:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
expbar._width = _root.sonicxp;
}
}
And the width of my exp bar is 381, so if my exp is over 381 the bar gets too big, is there any way to make it seem bigger? Because i need to add 2000 exp to it, so how can i make it so like, 2000 exp only fills up about a quarter of it?

Okay, with that code you gave me, it was a bit weird because after the max width the width never changed when it went a bit higher, the width of my health bar is 381 and when the exp goes over 381 the width doesnt ever change with that code, is there any way to fix this, or have i just changed your code the wrong way? by the way, now i have on the frame before it it says _root.sonicxp += 2000 because i thought it would be easier.

Your Code Editted:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root.sonicxp<=381) {
healthbar._width = _root.sonicxp;
}
}

It worked fine thanks, but how can i make it so if its 0 the bar is 0 (it already does this) but if its 2000 or so, the bars width is still the same?

Oh okay, scratch that, can i make it so when sonicxp is 0 the xscale is 0 and if its a different number then the bar is full and it doesnt get any bigger?

My attempt, If it isnt good enough i understand, but i tried my hardest, it isnt exactly good though.http://spamtheweb.com/ul/upload/3 609/60331_Kirby_Collab.php

Save:

on (release) {
_root.sav = SharedObject.getLocal("savename");
_root.sav.data.frame = _root._currentframe;
}
That is if its a button, obviously =3
Load:

on (release) {
_root.sav = SharedObject.getLocal("savename");
gotoAndStop(_root.sav.data.frame);
}
Yet again, this is if its a button, also, next time use the search bar.

Can i join? Ill make a part and see if you like it.

Post the new, modified code.

I just realised i made the stupid mistake of not making _root.sonicxp = 0 before it, thanks for helping though.

You need to add an equal sign after the plus/minus sign.

variable += whatever.

Or..

variable = variable+1000;

Ive put a = after the variable now, and it still isn't going down

I have 2 frames, the first saying :

_root.sonicxp + 2000;

And another with a movie clip that is an exp bar, on the movie clip i put this on it

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
this._xscale = _root.sonicxp;
}

And I have a button on the second frame that has:

on (release) {
_root.sonicxp - 1000;
}

And the X. Of the exp bar stays the same if you press it for some reason, does anyone know why?

At 11/3/09 11:43 AM, hdxmike wrote: What code ?

Just do

function onEnterFrame(){
if(Health<50){
MC.gotoAndStop(2)
}}

Thats AS2 of course but most of it its virtually identical to AS3

Oh so thats what i was doing wrong, thanks, im using as2 anyways

Okay, I have a variable of health, and i want to make it so the movieclip goes to frame 2 when health is 50, but when i put the code in the movieclip it doesnt work, do i have to put a duplicate variable in the movieclip also or something?

So you click the button and either your attack plays or DUN DUN the empty MP sound plays.

Just thought it would save time XD

Wow, thats an awesome idea, thanks! thats saved me a lot of time and effort!

the main stage itself

If you just put a blank one on screen you can say instancename.text = "whateveryouwant"; if not, you can probably use var textField:TextField = new TextField();
textField.text = "whateveryouwant";

oh okay, sorry i didnt explain myself, i want it so, if i click a button, it checks if i have enough mp to do the attack, then if i dont it says at the bottom of the screen not enough MP

how do i make it so, in as2, text appears?

Wow, thanks, that fixed it, sorry, its just, whenever theres a problem for me, in a script its usually that i need ==, so i thought id try putting it on before asking, thanks!

Okay, I made a script, i have NO idea why it doesnt work, i have a variable called enemy attack, and i have made this script, but he always does enemy1attack0, i have checked spelling on all of the names so it isnt that, does anyone have an idea why it isnt working?

_root.enemyattack == Math.round(Math.random()*2);
if(_root.enemyattack == 0){
gotoAndPlay("enemy1attack0")
}
if(_root.enemyattack == 1){
gotoAndPlay("enemy1attack1")
}
if(_root.enemyattack == 2){
gotoAndPlay("enemy1attack2")
}

Ok, Thanks!

Okay, i know how to make a random number take away from a variable,

enemy1health -= Math.random()*80+30;

But, it always does a decimal number, how can i stop this?

oh, thanks

how can i make it so there is a health bar, that works normally, but if the max is 1000 it would be the same size as it would be if the max was 100?
