You could do a shooter like raiden, and people could create the simple enemies, that would be really easy to integrate without back and forth, and then you could contact higher profile artists to do bosses, which would obviously take a little more coordination. Then the other components like level backgrounds and props like trees or clouds could be done by other people too.

It was very obviously not, let's stay away from the petty bantering of late shall we. That game did have some nice physics, I liked when he crashed into the tree and the top fell off.

Also lock your doors before you masturbate.

I'm not sure what you're asking, but the basic idea is to find the angle from point A to point B, and then adjust point B's position using the angle and whatever distance you choose.

That would kind of be the point of "experimenting" with different styles. Experimenting isn't really experimenting if it's only public approved experimenting.

I already answered your question, pretty thoroughly... You need _root.gotoAndPlay(number); to change the main timeline's frame.

_root is like the main timeline's reference... for lack of a better explanation. So in order to change the main timeline's frame then yes you need _root. So you could put _root.gotoAndPlay(frameNumberHere); (or _root.gotoAndStop();) on the last frame of the movieclip and it will change the main timeline's frame.

I'm assuming you're randomly replying to my comment that heath ledger looks like an awesome joker. You're completely wrong... he will be awesome, strangely, I think my opinion is better than yours, we don't have much to go on though...previews, but when the movie comes out this will come up again. Also, he was a great actor, was, haha, morbid...

Basically you just need to adjust the angle based on what angle is appearing, show us what is happening to it and we might be able to help you out. Also, for limiting it, it's as easy as checking if the angle is within the range, and only updating the movieclip rotation when it is.

The usual way this is done is by changing the _xscale of the enemy. If your enemy is originally facing to the right, when he's facing to the right his _xscale is 100, and when he's facing to the left his _xscale would be -100, assuming you didn't scale him at all. So you could use an if statement to test if the player is on the left or right of the enemy, and then change the _xscale of the enemy accordingly.

if(enemy._x < player._x){
enemy._xscale = 100;
}else{
enemy._xscale = -100;
}

for example...

Let's go back to what I said...

Ok, so that's not entirely true, you're asking what can be added to an a.i. script for the enemy that you're fighting in your "engine" not game. But my point still completely remains, it's blatantly obvious unless you've never played a fighting game before what "a.i.'s" should be like, how enemies should react and attack.

So you're asking us to point out the complete obvious? In fact you even stated some things you think the enemy should do. So are you asking about code specifically? Like how to use variables and if statements to make the enemy do certain attacks and blocks based on those variables?

ai code is made by thinking of how you want the enemy to act given different cases and variables, and then implementing it with conditions and variables...

Also, if you're going to constantly bump a topic no one is responding to, maybe restate the question or try to make it more clear what you're looking for or add onto what you've already said, your bumps now are bs and don't help.

You're asking what can be added to a fighting game? I think you can figure that out yourself, especially since your game is such a bare basics of a fighting game. It's pointless to ask people what you could add, because there is so much that could be added. Really, I don't know what you expect to accomplish with this thread, and then you constantly bump while it's on the first page and mention it in other threads... and in my opinion, this is one of those things that you don't actually put a lot into, since you're just learning how to code with actionscript.

www.flashgamesponsorship.com

This site has a lot of information you can reference from. You could ask experienced developers to give you an idea of the sponsorship price they think you should receive, which I guess you're doing here...or you could send the game out to multiple sponsors asking for quotes and possible offers, then compare them and you'd get a pretty good idea of what it's worth.

Also, I just watched iron man, it was awesome, and that parody irod bad actually just sucked a lot of ass... it was more like an annoying summary spoken retardedly into a bad mic, accompanied with lame sauce graphics, and bad semi-jokes, but I think I'm late on pointing that out. Also dark knight looks really awesome, dead heath ledger does an awesome joker, can't wait.

Nice job using the wrong verb.

_root.player.hpbar.nextFrame()

if that isn't working and the bar is in the player, than you have not named them correctly, or are not giving us enough information, both of us asked where the code is.

Also, don't fucking double post saying the same thing within two minutes. You are doing something wrong and you haven't given us enough information to be able to know what it is.

Well there are a few things that you could be doing wrong. Make sure that the enemy has the instance name enemy and that the player has the instance name player, and that the health bar has the instance name hpbar. Also tell us where your code is, and make sure that the three movieclips are on the main timeline. And make sure your health bar has more than one frame to go to, it could happen...

False. How would the vcam affect one movieclip to move up and down and not affect anything else on the screen, that's sillier than removing the while loop.

False, your instance is the string you're trying to test.

Do you mean...high score ladder? Using armorbot.com is a free easy way...

or more likely a ladder for a character to climb?

For this it's just a matter of hittesting if the character is in the area of the ladder, so when they hit up, instead of jumping you make them go up on the ladder. Then I would have a boolean for jumping and climbing, and if he's climbing make him only go up and down, and do certain checks for getting off the ladder, like if he's no longer touching it, or is touching the ground, or the player hits a certain key.

No shit Sherlock, you have enough time to read the code and figure out where it's from but not enough time to read the first paragraph of the first post?

Actually, all of you are wrong.

The problem is at the beginning of the enterframe you add one to grav and then move the character's _y position. You need to write it to only add to the gravity if he is not on the ground.

I think you could squeeze this in here, because this is testing if just below the character is on the ground. Also, put the grav++; after the _y += grav;

if (_root.ground.hitTest(_x, _y+3, true)) {
this.gotoAndStop(1);
grav = 0;
} else {
this.gotoAndStop(2);
}

I think that will work, definitely don't remove that while loop, what that does is if the character is moving 20px a frame, and goes 10px underground, it moves the character up to be on the ground.

The command stop(); still stop the movie on the current frame, also make sure you use gotoAndStop() if you want the movie to stop on that frame. Also don't make a tutorial if you can't answer such a simple question yourself, there are a lot of tutorials out there already.
