what?! it worked for me, make sure you click on the screen just to make sure its selected, and the right arrow runs right, the left arrow runs left and the up arrow jumps

not sure why its glitching in the jump, but its falling through the ground because the grund is too thin, try making the line a lot thicker and it'll work a bit nicer

well I was referring to the fact when i jump he falls through the floor. lol.

anyway, thats sorted now. Now onto a discussion about enemy health bars.

on the first frame i should put health=100, right?
Then in the health bar's action I should put:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
this.width = _root.health

well that sounds all good and all, but thats for a character :/

when changing it to enemy healthbar, what part of the script do i change?

what? no keys do antying? I don't understand :c.

I have a tiny game in working on...a little experimental to start :P

what's wrong with it?

You want it to specify a frame inside a movieclip? that sounds a lot like a gotoAndStop action. :S

I seemed to have a problem like this. spo guess what I did?

I started over. I also followed a tut someone shopwed me on NG
:3 Right here

Now i realized i want to increase the fps to around 20fps in the movie. Of course my frame to frame clip goes way to fast so i need to insert more frames. I thought about inserting an extra frame for every frame if you know what i mean.. so my 60 frame clip becomes 120 frames because there is 2 clips of one image then 2 more and so on insead of 1. How can i do this in a more simple way then manualy copy and paste every frame a second time?.. i hope you understand my problems very thankful for help!

Instead of tediously copy/psting every frame, why not select the frame and press F5? this create a joint frame which is excatly the same as the frame you highlighted. it gets better, as if you change of one the two joint clips, it changes the other one to the same thing.

where do i need to put that? at the if statements?

that might be a problem...there are so many event listeners and im not brillaint at actionscript. I'm not asking you to do it for me but can you give an example?

if you want just voices, then uses the crappes of the crap, speakonia.

Good job so far - hope it turns out to be amazing!

thankz i made new layout for begining bit ...

http://www.swfcabin.com/open/1233673311

i suggest some animations in between clicking the buttons, and also put some more grpahic in when you enter the shop, gym, hotel ect.
then itll look good

thanks for the help, but it seems to be freezing my flash.

here the code on the enterFrmae:

while (_root.walljumpwall.hitTest (_x, _y, true)) {
walljump = true;
djump = false;
tjump = false;
}
if (_root.walljumpwall.hitTest (_x, _y, true) && !Key.isDown (Key.UP)) {
	gotoAndStop (2)
	_xscale -= scale;
}
while (_root.walljumpwall2.hitTest (_x, _y, true)) {
walljump = true;
djump = false;
tjump = false;
}
if (_root.walljumpwall2.hitTest (_x, _y, true) && !Key.isDown (Key.UP)) {
	gotoAndStop (2)
	_xscale = scale;
}

heres the code for the clip ever load:

var walljump:Number = 10;
var walljump:Boolean = false;

it seems whenever i jump at the wall it freezes my flash. any help here?

Well, my new game is going on along smoothly (I can't go into any details atm, or thats spoiling it :P) and I wanted to add a new feature inot it. Wall jumping.

I think the basic coding should go along the line of:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root. wall.hitTest (_x, _y, true))...

then Im not sure what to put after that :S

anyone know how to do it? if so I need someone to explain it to me.

_root is a command that tells the code to go to the main timeline (not literally) so its telling the ROOT frame (frame its on to do the command. This works for variables aswell.

Ah I see, i just missed out rhe _root. :/

thanks!

oh sorry, there should be an extra } at the end. but thats not the problem ^^' thats just a typing error on my behalf when typing ti here.

hopfully you aint talkin about the spinning?

No, the spinning i put in deliberately. I meant that fact that if you jump, on each ladning he sinks into the gorund a little more, until he's halfway, then when you jump asgain, he lands on the top of the platform properly. :/

if you try it, tap the up button, not hold it, then you'll se what i'm on about.

I've been trying to figure out why it's doing this for AGES! I can't seem to workj out why it's doing this.

Se for yourself what's happening. Arrow keys to move. jump continuously and have a look:
Here

here's the code if you want it:

On the character:
onClipEvent (load) {

var grav:Number = 0;
var falling:Number = 0;
var jumped:Boolean = false;

On The frame:
yspeed = 0;
max_yspeed = 2;
gravity = 1;
if (yspeed>max_yspeed) {
yspeed = max_yspeed;}

someone help me please!

I got te code form Chunkycheese12's tutorial about platformers. I sent him a PM asking for help and he didnt reply :/

someone help!

At 2/2/09 05:28 AM, MaestroCC wrote: The only AS 2.0 is for the buttons which are wrong:
on (release){

gotoAndPlay("02");

}

Right answer:
on (release){

gotoAndPlay("02");

score++;

}

And the first frame of the actions layer:

Stop(); ( that is placed on every frame on the actions layer)

score=0;

Last Frame on actions layer:

stop();
percent=score/4*100 + "%"

and then it says test your movie

Hm...is the 02 the name of the frame, or the number of the frame? if it's a number, then simple enough change it to "2"

This issnt your thread. Either post help in a new thread or wait for some in your own thread.

Anyway, back onto topic:

A problem of too many hiuttests? no problem! is this a overhead maze game? if it is then it's rather simple.
Make a movieClip and give it the instnace name of "wall" (no quotations)
Then after that it's as easy as pie!
In your main characters movieclip (for starters i would suggest a ball just to get it "rolling"...get it?) go to the actions, then put in this code:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
    while (_root.wall.hitTest(_x, _y+radius, true)) {
        _y--;
    }
    while (_root.wall.hitTest(_x, _y-radius, true)) {
        _y++;
    }
    while (_root.wall.hitTest(_x-radius, _y, true)) {
        _x++;
    }
    while (_root.wall.hitTest(_x+radius, _y, true)) {
        _x--;
    }
}

You'll also need to set a radius for the character, which is why i suggested a ball:

onClipEvent (load) {
        radius = 14;
}

See? easy!
You'll need to adjust the radius accordingly to the size of the ball, just experiment!

Have fun ;)
Also, don't just copy/paste the code, try to understand why it works :P
