agree with the post over this one. Also make sure that you have written the script right where you actually are creating your bullets. Otherwise its obvious it won't work ;)

I agree with this a little bit at least =) You know, what would happen if you had gotten 5.0 in score? I mean...then you can't say: WOW next time I will do something that is even more popular. You cant always be satisfied...remember that young one ;)

Wonderful Nyska. Thats some huge blood effects =P

Don't know any examples myself, but the Rooms-game was surely nice!

Nice one! You should have so that if you hold the mousebutton it will fire automaticly :P Think it is rather hard to do tho

Sorry, it was I who told him about the vertical shooter thing =) I am from SWEDEN and the english language is not a perfect teammate to me just yet ;) Anyways. He is trying to do a game like Stick SAM (or whatever it is called) :P

if (talk == 2) {
talk1.removeMovieClip();
talk2 = _root.attachMovie("part_1_story_2", "part_1_story_2"+_root.getNextHighestDep th(), _root.getNextHighestDepth(), {_x:494.9, _y:672.8});

talk2.removeMovieClip();

}
trace (talk)
}

Ohh my fuck! Just chill man. Just create a MovieClip (named talkwindow) which follows your character all the time. When you talk to somebody this movieclip will gotoAndStop different frames. Thats how I did my Konga Game. Check it out

LOL! WRONG WRONG WROOOOOONG, YOU ARE SOOO WRONG MISTER!!!

...you forgot the dynamic textfield with the score ^^

if (_root.cliff.hitTest(_root,player._x, _root.player._y, true)) {
trace ("now it is working for sure");
dothestuffs();
}

fuck fuck...fuck it its fucking...FUCK!

you need to remove the ' whitin ('2'), or do like this:

gotoAndStop("2") - but then you must have a frame labled 2

Ok, actually I have not written a tutorial before (just pieces of it), so I will do it this time too. Anyways, I just did a game to move a vertical turret and fire down some enemies flying in the sky. You just need to change the turret to an arm (or as in the SAM-game; the whole upper body).

//attach this to whatever you would like to rotate
cannonEnterFrame = function()
{
var diffx = _root._xmouse - this._x;
var diffy = _root._ymouse - this._y;
this.ang = Math.atan2(diffy, diffx);

if (this.ang > 0) //this is couse I didnt want the turret to point down in the ground
{
diffy = 0;
this.ang = Math.atan2(diffy, diffx);
}
this._rotation = this.ang * (180 / Math.PI);
}

Very ver nice, not only couse I like superpower movies ;) I liked the drawing-syle to. I hope I can do something like this someday. Although, I am more into AS now, think the animation for me will be a later question :P

HAHA this was really nice made :D Just my humor. I did a game like this (find different ways to kill a person) but it was not like this ;D Also, if you hadnt added the screams it would be like - 5 :P

Ahh okey, Have tried stickman SAm now and I should say that it is more like a vertical shooter. Anyways, thats not your question so lets skip that part =) So, what part are you stuck at? What have you done? Have done a game like this before so I know the rules

HAHA LOL!

HAHAHA! Awesome work there! =P

Yes I think you are right actually. If I remember corectly I have done a thing or two with a greater amout then 2000 frames, guess it was on one single scene tho

10 POINTS to Blakant and his animations! : )

What Coaly said was in fact very nice explained. Take a taste of the _root .... what does it say to you? If it dosnt say enought I suggest you look it up and everything will be much clearer :P

Sorry for the Doublepost folks. But I forgot to mention the best tutorial ever *butter *butter: http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/2298 08/53

Hail to FION! ^^

I can help you, but first you need to declare what exactly you are going to do. I mean a third person shooter can look thousands of different ways. When I think of third person for example, I for example think at games like Hellgate London, RUNE, Mafia etc etc, and I dont think that you would like to do a game like those.

Well it wont get perfect, but I would just call some random calls so that the enemy ships fly away at random times.

For example

variable = random(100) +1;
if(variable <= 50 && fight(?) == true){
doavoid();
}

doavoid = function(){
this._x = dx;
this._y = dy;
{

on the ships enter frame:

dx ++;
dy++;

It is actually hard to write something for you when I cant see the whole code :S

Secondly, I'm not sure what you're saying exactly, but try putting all your hitTests in an if/else statement, rather than just three independent if statements.

Would do exactly as Kirk says :) Putting things in ifstatements is a great way to declare a logic order. Also you can have as many else if as you wont. There is no limit

Guess this is AS3.0? = ) I dont understand even a thing

OOOOOHH NOOO this is just toooo CUUUUUTEE!! ^^

well, that is a lot of help in only one thread.

I can help you with the Bulletquestion for your turret:

lets see...

do a variable:
_root.maxbullet = 2;

if(_root.maxbullet <= 2){
dofire();
}

I dont know how you did the firefunction for your game, so I cant tell you anymore about it sorry. But if you want you can PM me the code and I will write something for you

hmm I will try;

create a MovieClip and place it like at the bottom of the stage:

onClipEvent(load){
upwards = true;
}

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(upwards==true){
this._x ++;
}
else{
this._x --;
}
if(this._x > 550){
upwards= false;
}
if(this._x < 50){
upwards = true;
}

of course there will be easier way to do this. But this is my tec.

I cant tell much about AS 3 actually. But what I have seen this far, it seems completly different to AS2

if (dir == "right") {
_root.dirleft = false;
var diffx = _root._xmouse-this._x;
var diffy = _root._ymouse-this._y;
_root.player.arm.ang = Math.atan2(diffy, diffx);
_root.player.arm._rotation = _root.player.arm.ang*(180/Math.PI);
}

}
if (dir == "left") {
_root.dirleft = true;
var diffx = _root._xmouse-this._x;
var diffy = _root._ymouse-this._y;
_root.player.arm.ang = Math.atan2(diffy, diffx);
_root.player.arm._rotation = _root.player.arm.ang*(-180/Math.PI);

}
//rotation ends

Ok, that is what I have made based on a turretdefence tutorial. As I said, it doesnt work perfect, but it is still worth a try =)
