I'm making an RPG, and all the artwork is isometric, so i'm wondering how I can make a building go over the player when their behind it and under them when they're infront, so far I can only do it with one corner, if the building has 3 corners exposed it doesn't work, help please.

onClipEvent(load){
this.gotoAndStop(2);
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame){

if (_root.player._y <= 101.7){
		this.gotoAndStop(1);
}
else this.gotoAndStop(2);
}

var noise:number = 50;
onEnterFrame = function(){
noise -= 0.25;
if(noise<=1){
noise=1;
}

as i said MUCH simpler but of course frame based not time based
same general effect though
but if it needs to be time based then im stumped

Thanks, works like a charm.

noise  = 50;
function onEnterFrame(){
setInterval(Clock, m);
	function Clock():Void {
	noise -= 5;
	clearInterval(Clock, m);
	}
		if (noise <= 0){
		noise = 1;
	}}
	m = 1000;

All I want is a bar that constantly goes down by a value of 5 or something, and when you the player touches stuff it puts 50 or so up there, if the value gets past 100 he'll fail the game.

What it does is as soon as it starts, just goes straight to 0, and won't go up a number anymore, can someone help?

The code to make it follow the player is very simple, not sure if you should be starting a game just yet if you can't figure it out.

It just doesn't work, I have no error it won't spawn the bullet from the enemy.

var timer:Number = setInterval(mcLoop);
var cap:Number = d;
var numberOfMovieclips:Number = 0;
function mcLoop():Void {
	note = _root.attachMovie("akbullet", "akbullet"+numberOfMovieclips++, _root.getNextHighestDepth());
	note._y = _root.enemy._y;
	note._x = _root.enemy._x;
	note.dead = false;
	note.onEnterFrame = goLeft;
}
	function goLeft():Void {
		if (this.hitTest(_root.player)) {
		this.gotoAndStop(2);
		this.dead = true;
}
	if (!this.dead) {
		this._x -= 10;
	}
	if (this._y>Stage.height+this._height/2) {
		removeMovieClip(this);
	}
}

That is triggered by setInterval(mcLoop, a); when the player is within range, it doesn't work though, any suggestions?

Hey guys I need code for a game HELP D: D:

Well that's what I figured so I didn't worry about it yesterday when I posted it, now i'm a little worried. I'll wait another day.

bump, is the API messed up because of the update or what? should I be PMing someone?

I posted a game yesterday with it approved for ads and the ads worked, but in my ads it isn't showing any statistics like how many views the ads have, it's just blank with a "--" all the way through. So did I just waste a game or what?

Well I just checked and it said my movie has been approved, yet the ads still aren't showing up. What the fuck?

Well I added the ad to the front of my flash, it connected with the server fine but when it loads it just shows the NG logo and doesn't change to the ads. Does it have to be approved first? I wasn't asked for a link to a demo or anything.

Just wondering how you would make it so for a minigame lets say you have to hit the space bar when it tells you to, if you just use the key.isdown for space you can just hold it down the whole time.

So yeah, help and junk.

Still need this.

it's an adventure game that involves that, yes.

bump, solution is needed.

Just above, I didn't include any of the variables but they're all there and correct.

I changed weed to poop to disguise that purpose of the code but whatever, does anyone know why it isn't working?

onEnterFrame = function(){
	if (poop==true){
var timer:Number = setInterval(toke, a);
function toke():Void {
	puff = _root.attachMovie("puff", "puff", _root.getNextHighestDepth());
	tokemeter -= 2;
	puff._y = player.mouth._x
	puff._x = player.mouth._y
	puff.onEnterFrame = goLeft;}}}

I see no reason why it shouldn't, i'd like to turn it on and off but as soon as I put that condition in it doesn't work. I'm guessing it's my enterframe function.

rebump

your problem is this:

You keep starting to play the movieclip at frame 3. You need something like:

//pseudo code

if (CURRENTFRAME IS NOT 3)
gotoAndPlay(3);

onEnterFrame = function()
{
	c = _root.player;
	s = _root.ped1;
	deltaX = c._x-s._x;
	deltaY = c._y-s._y;
	// rounded distance
	dist = Math.sqrt((deltaX*deltaX)+(deltaY*deltaY));
	// distance
	dist2 = Math.floor(Math.sqrt((deltaX*deltaX)+(deltaY*deltaY)));
	//check if within distance
	if (dist2 <= range &&!_root.ped1.torso == 3)
	{	
trace("work")
_root.ped1.torso.gotoAndPlay(3);
punch2 = false;
	}
	
}

Still doesn't work, not sure if this is what you meant.

onEnterFrame = function()
{
	c = _root.player;
	s = _root.ped1;
	deltaX = c._x-s._x;
	deltaY = c._y-s._y;
	// rounded distance
	dist = Math.sqrt((deltaX*deltaX)+(deltaY*deltaY));
	// distance
	dist2 = Math.floor(Math.sqrt((deltaX*deltaX)+(deltaY*deltaY)));
	//check if within distance
	if (dist2 <= range)
	{	
trace("work")
_root.ped1.torso.gotoAndPlay(3);
punch2 = false;
	}

}

It just won't go to frame 3 to play the attack animation, no Idea why it won't the trace works.

what

At 3/29/09 07:28 PM, Paranoia wrote: All the theory is the same in both; it's just not got the event listeners and shizzle.

distanceSquared = xDistance * xDistance + yDistance * yDistance;

this is my code, which isn't working

function Ticker():Void {
xDistance = ped1._x - player._x
yDistance = ped1._y - player._y
   distanceSquared = xDistance * xDistance + yDistance * yDistance;
   if (distanceSquared<10)
   {
     trace ("Working");
   }
}

Can I get that in AS2?

What's the enter_frame buisness?

At 3/28/09 12:38 AM, zuperxtreme wrote: Pythagorean theorem.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

c would be your distance. Do something like:

var xDiff:Number = enemy.x - player.x
var yDiff:Number = enemy.y - player.y
var Distance:Number = Math.round(Math.sqrt((xDiff*xDiff)+(yDif f*yDiff)))

Voila.

Could you comment it out? maybe explain how to use it with an enterframe.

Not sure how to do this, and It's vital to know for enemy AI attacking, like if he's 5 pixels away he'll go and play his attack animation and do damage. Thanks in advance.

Can someone put the distance formula into a onClipEvent (enterFrame){ if (blubblub){}???
