Thats why I was wondering how to do it over a certain area, I know it is possible. ;s

no it's not. Give us a visual aid

Draw your shape, and then highlight the part you want to hitTest. Perhaps hittest is not nessecary and simple math is sufficient.

At 8/2/08 12:06 PM, bloodmage2 wrote: well you could make another movieclip that is identical to the part that you want to hittest, then make it spawn whenever you spawn the other movie clip and hittest it.

yep. Or if the are you want to hitTest is a simply geometrical shape, then you can use simple math.

i never heard of such a thing. cant you ask your teacher for a copy

look at duplicatemovieclip function, and you'll need a counter and health variables. Try it first, then if you fail, we'll help.

firstly, let's call it what it is - a collab :)

what does it do? ~_^

is there any way to edit this code to say unless the right arrow or space bar are down it goes to frame 1?

if(Key.getCode() == 40){
this.wDown.gotoAndStop(1);
}
}

if(Key.getCode() == 40 && !(Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)||Key.isDown(Key.
SPACE))){

Excuse me? Werent you the first one to criticise my helping and trying to be condescending? And also that post looks to me like you want the last word. Hypocritical somewhat? Dont bother posting if your not even going to try and help

And chazzgoth Im confused as to what you want exactly. I think you want this

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
gotoAndStop(whatever)
} else if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT) && Key.isDown(Key.SPACE)) {
gotoAndStop(10)
} else {
gotoAndStop(1)
}
}

Hope this helps.

cuz your code was wrong, and wasn't what he was looking for. I don't mind you posting a suggestion. That else if suggestion you posted was very appropriate, and will likely solve his problem, but the sarcasm was unnesecary.

At 8/1/08 01:16 PM, ChazzGoth wrote: Right have tried that and a couple other code variations still having a little trouble..

I'm gonna have to add something along the lines of

} else {
gotoAndStop(1)
}
}

at the end, but trying to stop it so that it only works if either the right arrow and the right arrow and space bar are down is the tricky part.

post your damn code -_- it's what I've been talking about for like 3 posts now :P

probably doesn't fit his code. cuz he probably has other animations besides rolling and isle stance, which I assumed is the animation for the 1st frame.

he doesn't want it to be either frame 10 or frame1.
so...

last thing. the code won't make ur mc go to frame 1. I can't see ur full code, so I can't see how to fit that in there, so u'll have to do that part.

At 7/31/08 05:47 PM, ChazzGoth wrote: Hey guys.

at the moment I have a character who moves in a top down perspective, smilair to pokemon/Zelda a link to the past.

I have currently got all walking working fine, so after double clicking the movie clip and finding the frame animation I want, I have added his code to it in order to make him roll when you press the direction and the space bar.

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT) && Key.isDown (Key.SPACE))
this.gotoAndStop(10);
}

After this, I have added this code to prevent the animation from contunuing after I have released the buttons, unfortunately it does not seem to be working.

onClipEvent(keyUp){
if(Key.getCode() == 39){
this.wSide1.gotoAndStop(1);
}

It has no errors, it just simply will not do what I want it to.

After letting go of the arrow key or the space key I want him to resort back to frame 1 without the animation finishing.

Thanks a lot guys, hope i've given enough detail.

onClipEvent(load){
temp = true;
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT) && Key.isDown (Key.SPACE)){
if(temp == true){
temp = false;
this.gotoAndStop(10);
}
} else {
temp = true;
}
}

if(Key.isDown(myKey)){
if(actArr[myKey]){
actArr[myKey]=false;
//do stuff
}
} else actArr[myKey]=true;

that looks exactly like what I wrote.

Except why would you need an array?

did I not manage to help you via pm?

huh? why do you even need AS for this? isn't this practically an interactive movie. All you need for an interactive movie is to know how to handle buttons.

That won't work ;)

removeMovieClip(this);
this.swapDepths(_root.getNextHighestDept h());
}
}

first of all the swapDepth function won't even be performed, as you delete the MC, so it just goes bye bye and doesnt read the function :)

but if you switched the order of the functions, how would that help? I don't see why you need to swap depth ~_^

Click the arrow button to see the next one.

very nice. looks very promising. You should consider adding lighting on the guy's face.

I also noticed that your bullets don't dissapear when they hit the "bush". Code:

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(_root.bg.hitTest(_x,_y,true)){
removeMovieClip(this);
}
}

that simple :D

you shouldn't have it so his speed is set to 0. You need 4 hitTests, one for each side. code:

onClipEvent(load){
speed= 5;
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT) && _root.bg.hitTest(_x+speed,_y,true)){
_x += speed;
}
if(Key.isDown(KeyLEFT) && _root.bg.hitTest(_x-speed,_y,true)){
_x -= speed;
}
if(Key.isDown(Key.DOWN) && _root.bg.hitTest(_x,_y+speed,true)){
_y += speed;
}
if(Key.isDown(KeyLEFT) && _root.bg.hitTest(_x,_y-speed,true)){
_y -= speed;
}
}

make a background movieclip with all your "bushes" in them named bg

what this does is check if the player CAN walk right, and if so, he does. Same for left, up and down.

still don't get it. Just click the link and see if it helps.

really hope the game isn't nearing completion. I don't want to critique as if it were being submitted to the portal, cuz I know it's not finished. But all I'm saying is it needs work.

no. Either all AS2 or all AS3.

idk what that code means, but this is wut u should have done:

in ur hero, right now u have something like

if(Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT))
_x += speed;

instead, put that on your background movieClip's AS, and reverse the direction, so it should be like:

if(Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT))
_x -= speed;
