What I want to happen, is when I click on of them, if the name of the button is the same as the name of the frame I am currently viewing, then I go to a random frame. If it ain't the case, a symbol appears and tells me I clicked the wrong button. So here is a part of the code. Of course i doesn't work properly.

on (release) {
if (button.name = namelayer.frame.name) {
gotoAndStop(random);
;
} else {
_root.xsymbol.play();
}
}

it's ._name not .name

== not =

I'm not sure you can retrieve the name of the frame the player is on. I'm sure you can, but I'm not sure how. I'd name your buttons b1 , b2, b3 , then ask:

if (button._name == "b"+namelayer._currentframe) {

currentframe retrieves the frame number the MC is on

oh clock crew. didn't make that connection, lol stupid me.

yeah, maybe.

quick question - some people I've showed the game to said they were overwhelmed with 85 turrets. They started freaking out b/c they wanted to try them all out. So they said I should make some lockable, and they are unlocked after you get a certain score in a certain mode.

thoughts?

why clock

first choice if I decide to make another cheat turret. I have 7 cheats now, I think that's enough. If I make more, I'll do this first.

Check it out

My game is bird's view, not platformer style, so i can't use those sprites.

Mayoarm, I can't wait till this is out! Dude, I know I already PMed you, but once again, it's looking awesome.

I'm not too crazy about the whole penis turret thing, but it seems it wins by popular demand :-P

I'll see what I can do -_-

if it's in layers in photoshop, or in layers in flash, or something like that, it'd be better if you sent it in layers. Cuz I think what'll I do is make only the upper part rotate, not the whole thing, so I'ma need those as seperate things.

thnx again :D

Why not make the lower body rotate as well, but much slower?
That's what tanks do.

i thought about that, but how would it rotate?! Just randomally? picks a random position?

But in general, it does seem unnatural.

Thats what you get when you ask a bunch of idiots to brainstorm ;p

exactly. Maybe (as a normal turret?) you could have one that freezes the enemy for a second.

PS, send us some more screenys if we cant see the game :P. Also, id b ur beta tester if you need one

Already have 4 turrets like that (snow turret + adv. snow + liquid nitrogen + adv. liquid nitro)

lol ^.^

there are 5 screenshots posted in my news post. If you want more, I can take random s/s's.

you guys are getting too creative and stupid :P

I'm not looking for stupidly weird ideas. Just FUNNY turrets, like the shoop da whoop turret was perfect.

How about "bad" cheats, say double enemies on screen or something.

Or references to other games? Maybe the mario start thing. Flash your turrets in that rainbow-y color, play the start power-up sound and make all your turrents one-hit kill for a little while.

mhmhmhmmhh time stop is interesting. But in general, we're getting complex here. They're only cheats for god's sake!! XD

and dude, i looked at ur game in ur news post. I wrote a tut in AS2, pm me if u want it. I'm guessing you're doing this with AS3 though, so ... sorry XD

banana peels. they make the enemy stop, and hurt them. (a small 'slip' animation?)

maybe different colour borders for customization?

way too much work to animate every enemy unit 'slipping'. Besides, if you looked at the screenshots, you'd see it doesn't make sense for these units to trip.

No, you either have to buy that version of Flash, or ask someone else.

Moonwalk - All enemies walk backwards

they don't move backwards right? They're only turned backwards...? First one makes no sense XD

I'll consider the second.

Tiny Enemy Mode - Enemies are half sized.

That only makes life harder on the players! XD

Giant Enemy Mode - Enemies are Double sized.

thats a good idea

Paintball - All bullet holes/blood splatters leave a different colour'd stain.

The enemies don't have blood. They have a colorful explosion sort of thing.

And since it's a tower defense, game.
The Road, Follow it. - Turns the path into a road made of yellow bricks.

I didn't think about that sort of thing. I may not necessarily use your road idea, but in general, the idea is cool.

As for Turrets.
Swarm of Locust
Custard Pies
Water Pistol
Confetti

don't like any of those, sorry XD

hi! This post is about my game here

It's a cool TD featuring 85 unique turrets. We're almost done with it, I'll be starting on a new project very shortly.

Anyways, I was making cheats, and I couldn't really come up with awesome, and hilarious ideas. I'm talking about stuff besides the infinite money / health cheats (those I already made), I'm talking about the cool, funny stuff. I only have 2 right now, they include:

Poison Gas Turrets turn into butts - image

All the poison gas turrets turn into butts, so it looks like a huge butt is farting on the units.

Chuck Norris Turret - Very costly, but VERY powerful. Shoots home-seeking fists instead of bullets. They do an excessive amount of damage.

IDEAS?!?!? Again, I'm looking for goofy, ridiculous stuff, that would make people laugh. For those of you who care about the actual game, once you use a cheat you won't be able to submit your score to the rankings table, as seen in many other games like this.

GO!

they won't allow it for any game, that'd be stupid as hell.

right well. I don't want this to be final or anything, but I MIGHT be interested. Maybe if you can get some nice artists for this, b/c i've wanted to do an online MMO for quite a while. I would like to make the game with better graphics than that, no offense.

PM if you want to chat more about this (i'll give you my contact info)

what's the game about?
