This thread is full of fabs and fails.

OP here how you do it,
1) Learn actionscript
2) Come back and ask question in a more inteligent and well thought out way if you can't figure it out after learning AS

3) Punch self in face

HALO RIPOFF

Oh ok, thanks. I hadn't heard of Math.max before.

I have a piece of code right now which subtracts two variables. The problem is, one of them is actually the average of two variables being subtracted from one. Let me show you:

var1-(var2+var3)/2;

Now this work's okay, but instead of taking the average of those two variables, I want it to choose the highest one.

This is in a movement code by the way, so if the player is only moving right (var2) and not moving at all up or down (var3) then the amount taken away from var1 is half as much as i would like it to be. It also means diagonal movement will give too much in comparison.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide, :D

End o' Story

I was going to do that later, but I'm just adding to it function by function, Il probably do that now or tomarrow though.

Eat it bitches!

I haven't but i guess that makes sense. I didn't think that would affect it in any way.
Just tested it, and it works perfectly. Thank you very much!

<sarcasm>Another shining example of how to be kind and helpful at the same time!</sarcasm>

instead of frame numbers, you could try labeling the frames, so instead of

on(Press){
gotoAndPlay(4);
}

It would be

on(press){
gotoAndPlay("win");
}

I swear this is my last question for today.
Maybe

Ok, I have a character (just a box), a V-Cam and 4 walls on the main stage. The walls aren't MC's so they don't matter.
My code is just a movement script for the character, with the V-Cam following. The only problem is the walls. The character stops when he hits the walls, but he gets stuck halfway through, and you can slowly wiggle him out. I have accounted for the width of the character already, so thats not the problem. BTW, the width of the character is 30 pixels, and the height is also 30.
Any help would be greatly appreaciated.

TL;DR - Guy gets stuck in walls, already accounted for height and width.

Heres the code:

var up:Boolean = false;
var down:Boolean = false;
var right:Boolean = false;
var left:Boolean = false;
var xspeed:Number = 0;
var xspeedup:Number = 0.5;
var xdecay:Number = 0.95;
var yspeed:Number = 0;
var yspeedup:Number = 0.5;
var ydecay:Number = 0.95;
function keyDowns(event:KeyboardEvent) {
	if (event.keyCode == 87) {
		up = true;
	}
	if (event.keyCode == 83) {
		down = true;
	}
	if (event.keyCode == 68) {
		right = true;
	}
	if (event.keyCode == 65) {
		left = true;
	}
}
function keyUps(event:KeyboardEvent) {
	if (event.keyCode == 87) {
		event.keyCode = 0;
		up = false;
	}
	if (event.keyCode == 83) {
		event.keyCode = 0;
		down = false;
	}
	if (event.keyCode == 68) {
		event.keyCode = 0;
		right = false;
	}
	if (event.keyCode == 65) {
		event.keyCode = 0;
		left = false;
	}
}
function xmove(Event) {
	if (right == true) {
		xspeed+=xspeedup;
	}
	if (left == true) {
		xspeed-=xspeedup;
	}
	if (left == false && right == false) {
		xspeed*=xdecay;
	}
	player.x+=xspeed;
}
function ymove(Event) {
	if (up == true) {
		yspeed-=yspeedup;
	}
	if (down == true) {
		yspeed+=yspeedup;
	}
	if (down == false && up == false) {
		yspeed*=ydecay;
	}
	player.y+=yspeed;
}
function limits(Event) {
	if (xspeed>=15) {
		xspeed = 15;
	}
	if (yspeed>=15) {
		yspeed = 15;
	}
	if (xspeed<=-15) {
		xspeed = -15;
	}
	if (yspeed<=-15) {
		yspeed = -15;
	}
}
function walls(Event) {
	if (player.x>3389.0) {
		player.x=3389.0-1;
	}
	if (player.y>3301.4) {
		player.y=3301.4-1;
	}
	if (player.x<-581) {
		player.x=-581+1;
	}
	if (player.y<-669) {
		player.y=-669+1;
	}
}
function camfollow(Event) {
	vcam.y=player.y;
	vcam.x=player.x;
}
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, walls);
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyDowns);
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, keyUps);
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, xmove);
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, ymove);
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, limits);
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, camfollow);

stop ripping off final destination

OK ok...thanks anyways. I've only used AS so far so I wouldn't have known that.

Just answer the title please.

Heh whoops, I forgot to thank you for helping me...
Thanks!
:D

Yeah I actually figured this part out and went to change it to 649 and so on, but I must have messed up that part because it didn't work.

I have simple code that makes it so when the character gets to the edge of one part of the screen, they go to the other side, an effect which you've no doubt seen before. Unfortunatly, my code will only work if one half of it is there. Lemme show you.
This wont work:

function walls(Event) {
if (player.x>=650) {
player.x=0;
}
if (player.y>=500) {
player.y=0;
}
if (player.x<=0) {
player.x=650;
}
if (player.y<=0) {
player.y=500;
}
}

However, both of these codes will work, but only without the other.

function walls1(Event) {
	if (player.x>=650) {
		player.x=0;
	}
	if (player.y>=500) {
		player.y=0;
	}
}

function walls2(Event) {
if (player.x<=0) {
		player.x=650;
	}
	if (player.y<=0) {
		player.y=500;
	}
}

So yeah if anyone could help that would be awesome.

Yessir.

Whoop de fucking do for you.
Same shit happens to me all the time.

Dont resurect an '07 thread about a pic we have all seen before

Creepily enough, I just finished watching I am Legend on Sky 3, and at the end they say during christmas 2009 the virus was released.

I really hope they meant last year.

Why'd you destroy the joke, you sick little fucktard.

Pigs just flew and shat bicks on my head.
I can't believe I just saw a mod call himself a "nooby noob" and ask for help.

With no doubt in my mind I can say it would have to be you.

Maybe we need to make jokes about vaginas instead.
