yeah, chicks dig when guys are organized, if you tell her a time and a place, they are usually impressed, so this is a good approach.

as for actually asking her out, its pretty easy once you get along, and are friends, a good start to get in the right place, when your talking to her (preferably alone, as some others guys have said, her friends can put pressure on the situation, people act different depending who they are with, so try to get her when she is as much herself as possible) so when you talk to her, start steering the conversation towards dates, you can use any approach, ask her about her old boyfriends, what movies shes seen recently, when she had a date last, stuff about dates. by the way she talks to you about it, you can tell if she wants to go on a date or not, and when you see she does you just calmly, very casually ask her if you can go out.

it worked for me.

Does dairy queen count? = D if so:

if not...:

description and frase the same.
xD

this is actually really cool, although there should be more badges and easier to get then spending a month visiting a certain site so many times a day....
but its still pretty neat, alot of newgrounders are on i see.

no, i want a random frame out of a number of options.

is it possible to make a button that when you click it, it takes you to one of 3 or 4 frames(random).
always different.
also im having trouble with buttons that send you between scenes, any help here is good too.

nice shirts, i like the rocker tankmen one and the last one that was alot of stuff thrown in the best. gratz to the winners.

wow, thanks il try that out.

im currently making a game, and i need to know if you can use the if else control, and have the condition wether or not a movie clip is on a certain frame. if so please put the control to be used to detect this in your response. use "ball" or something for the instance name.
thanks alot.

is there absolutely no way to get it to work?

ive never heard of using a gotoAndStop with a nextFrame in the handlers, but than again, im having problems with the control myself.
it should be able to work though if you put
_root.gotoAndPlay(x)

replace "X" with the number frame your next level is on.

maybe there are, but im not going to redo a 9 level game. thanks, but no thanks.

ok, i used this. but it seems to ignore the first part, no matter where the bunny is(behind blockers wtvr) when i click the bunny it goes to frame 14.
p.s. i changed enterFrame to mouseDown, because otherwise it was messed up.

actually, i was just playing with the code, and i realized when testing it, that now it kills the enemy even if i just shoot the blocker. wtf?

onClipEvent(enterframe{
if(this.hitTest(_root.blockers)){
this.gotoAndPlay(1)} else {this.gotoAndPlay(14)

im making a shooting game, you have probably seen some of my other posts with inquiries about what to do for different things.
this is the very last thing. thank god! so if this goes well, this will be my last inquiry post about this game. my enemies are movie clips, and they move on internel timeline, and jump to the dead frame when clicked on. what happens though(and this is the problem) is when they go behind a rock or something. i can still click, and kill them through the rock. i do not want this to happen. ive tried using lots of variations of hitTest. but none have worked. heres what im using at the moment, please tell me whats wrong, and how to fix it.

onClipEvent (mouseDown) {
if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {
if (this.hitTest(tree)) {
gotoAndPlay(1);
} else {
gotoAndPlay(14);
}
}
}

i rlly appreciate any suggestions, or if you could tell me what to change. on frame 14, the enemy dies.

i do i just miss understood what it said, i have a different problem now. everything else works fine, just that my hitTest control isnt functioning right

dude...
i know a decent amount of actionscript, i have done everything else in my game myself, its just this problem i have never seen before.
and never dealt with, so i do not know what to do.

ok everyone. thanks for the help, ive put it in a clipevent handler now.
but it isnt working. = (
so if you have any suggestions as to what to put for the code so that you cant click(shoot) through rocks or trees, and still hit the bunny.
please mention anything that might help.
thanks.

i need to apply it, so that it activates when you click on the bunny.

please help, anybody who can.

The error message tells you what you're doing wrong:

Statement must appear within on/onClipEvent handler

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
//Your code here
}

OMFG i cant believe it was so close, thank you.
i thought something was wrong in the line.
thank you so much!

To Answer Your Question Tom, Before I Really Got Into Newgrounds, I Would Just Check The Frontpage, And If I Did Not See Anything Of Interest(Awesome Games, Funny Videos, Etc). I Would Move On To Other Sites.
But Now I Hardly Ever Look At Other Sites, Newgrounds Is Like My Home, Whenever Im Not Doing Anything, I Get On Newgrounds.

im trying to make a game, and i need to use an if control, and than a hitTest, the actionscript looks like this:

if (hitTest(this)) {
if (hitTest(blockers)) {
gotoAndPlay(1);
} else {
gotoAndPlay(14);
}
}

what happens with this, when i test it out, is:
it says
Statement must appear within on/onClipEvent handler
if (hitTest(this)) {
please tell me what im doing wrong.
it doesnt say anything else is wrong, just that.
thanks.

Here it just checks the score var. It should work if the score is 300 or higher. If it doesn't I really don't know.

score var?
will that work if its just dynamic text?

i tried this when i was playing around with different combinations, its the same, since it is ">=" it goes automatically to frame 3.

How about trying:

if (_global.score_txt >= 300) {
_root.gotoAndStop(3);
} else if (_global.score_txt < 300) {
_root.gotoAndPlay(95);
}

wow, i got my hopes up with this one too. but once again, its taking me to frame 3 no matter how many points i have. so i tried changing ">=" to "==" and than it just ignored the control completely, it didnt do anything when it entered the frame on the timeline.

please help, its really needed.

ugh, i got my hopes up with this one. but disappointingly it gave me the same result, if i had "==" frame 95,
if i had "=" or ">=" it would go frame 3.
thanks though.

At 8/25/07 02:06 PM, souled wrote: I'm confused. Does this happen after you've been in the level for example 30 seconds and if you have 300 points by then you go to frame 3, and if you don't you go to frame 93 or whatever it was? Or is it when you reach 300 points you go to the next level because then you can't get game over and the else shouldn't be there.

no, the movie clip, that has the control on its last frame, is the amo, so when you run out of bullets, it sees if you have enough points or not
its operated by a screen that covers everything, so when you click, it activates:

on (release) {_root.amo.nextFrame();

}

which makes a bullet disappear. and amo's timeline reaches the last frame(0 bullets, and where the if else control is) it sees if you pass or not. atleast, thats how it should be. but it doesnt work, hence me inquiring about this.

ok, so im making a game.
but the if else control i have that defines if you pass the level(if you have enough points) or not, doesnt work.

what i have is a dynamic text, the instance name is "score_txt" and it keeps the points, it works just fine.
than i have a movie clip. and on the internal timeline of the movie clip, on the last frame, i have the if else control. it looks like this.

if (_global.score=_global.score_txt==300) {
_root.gotoAndStop(3);
} else {
_root.gotoAndPlay(95);
}

now it should work just fine, if you have 300 points you go to frame 3(next level) and if you dont you go to frame 95(game over screen)
but when i didnt work i played around with it, and i discovered, it wasnt even looking at the condition, and if i had "==" or "===" it would automatically go to frame 95 when the frame of the internal timeline was entered, and when i had "=" or ">=" it would just take me to frame 3.
what is wrong with this control? please help me, tell me what to fix, or whatever it needs.
