If you need voice actors, me and my brother will offer our services to your collab. What do you plan on making?

There's nothing wrong with harsh criticism as long as it's constructive...

For a game, it sucks :P

As an engine though, have you used code from a tutorial or written your own? If it's the former, you might find the results far better if you write your own. Learn how the code works and learn the basics of programming before jumping into making games.

Start simple. It's crucial to build on a solid base.

TBH I did get this from a tut but I did listen to the basic of what it was explaining. What would you sujest I make because Im new to coding.

Thanks, I need to learn how to make a better platformer engine or find one...

:)

Art is placeholder stuff. Trying to get the engione right before i draw.

Ok that was a little harsh but that didnt help me at all.

I want honesty dont go easy on me. I need to learn how to make things better.http://www.newgrounds.com/dump/it em/f7f7df2eeb67cad3b54abf7b5a785576

This is what i made Here

You have to understand people show up at least twice a week posting this giant code that they've "made" and then ask how to do something incredibly simple, that's what you're doing now.

I had just realized my mistake -_- idk how i forgot that...must be all the flying Ive done recently.

omg im so stupid

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest(_root.player)) {
_root.gotoAndStop(5);
}
}
this is the code it was so simple!!!!!!
sorry guys for wasting your time

heres a demo please don't mind the drawling everything is a place holder till i can get the coding right

Ok so I have to say now, this was all obviously copied out of a tutorial if you can do that, but can't do a frame change on hitTest.

Learn to code.

/rage

Like I said before I only copied the vcam part if you look at my games i know how to hittest just at this moment i cant remeber the certain code used.

Ya wanna know how to do it.

Tests weather an MC is hitting the target and returns the result.
MovieClip.hitTest(target:MovieClip):Bool ean

Sets the MC to the desired frame.
MovieClip.gotoAndPlay(frame:Number)

There with your advance coding knowledge that all you need.

Otherwise you my friend have a very bad memory. And should relearn coding from the very beginning.

I never once stated i knew advanced things, how would you feel if when you were new to coding someone just came and pretty much put you down. I'm trying to learn to code. Those tutorial i watch i actually listen too I dont just copy and paste like the other people. I just want to make a game Idk why your being so mean to me.

Info?

He asked you a damn question, if you want help at least give the info that's asked for.

And by 'made' a platformer you mean you copied all the code our of a tutorial. Because you obviously have no idea what you're doing.

um no the only code i copied was Vcam Im sorry i dont have the memory of a god. I havent done flash in 2 years its kinda hard to remember everything

Help?

hmmm I made a platformer like a year or two ago and i had the perfect code but I forgot the code D: its a smaller code then that.

it didnt work D:

i wanted it to go in the exit MC

At 4/13/11 07:52 PM, swishcheese wrote: you used _root for the movieClips but did not for the gotoAndStop();

should be:

_root.gotoAndStop(5);

didnt work :(

I'm trying to make it so that when my MC hits another MC it will go to the next frame. Ive tried the code:

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
if (_root.player.hitTest(_root.exit)) {
gotoAndPlay(5);
}
}

But it doesn't seem to work. Ive made sure the MCs had the right instance names. Please help!!

Great, just great! The fighting does feel a little clunky.. but I'm sure thats getting worked on.... any ways good game!

Hey capitan idiot thats the reason for this thread!
I'm looking for a server to finish my multiplayer game.

Does anyone know where I can find a free server for an online game I'm making?

Where can i find a server for my games to run on? If you can tell me where to find one i can finish my game rock online.

why

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root.circle.hitTest(this)) {
_root.gotoAndStop("gameover");
}
}
make a frame a lable it gameover
