when you make a movieclip (F8), select button instead of movieclip. Put some stuff on the first frame, then on the 2nd frame of your button, test the movie, and you should see by yourself what a button does.

vampire obama oh no!

anusboy is an awesome movie.

it's generally unwise to post demos. Unless it's a preview, don't post demos.

EXPLAIN how you want your gun to rotate / move. How are we supposed to know what you want?!?

hilarious.

The graphics were pretty cool, the atmosphere was decent. Overall, it's a good game, but I don't believe anyone will play it for more than 3-5 minutes. I realize you can't change the entire concept now that it's already finished, but just for future reference, try to make more interesting concepts than quickly hitting the b and n keys. It gets very repetitive and increases chance of arthritis XD.

I may not have understood you correctly, but what you need is a button. When you click F8 to make a movieclip, select button instead. When you edit the button, the second frame will appear once the user rolls over the button, and when he rolls out, it'll return to frame 1. In frame 1, have the text that you want, and in 2, change it.

definetely worthy

don't rely on tutorials. read them to learn how they work, and learn how to code. Then use that knowledge to make something of your own.

that's awesome, but the light source is fucked up in that.

the shapeflag hitTest (the form of hitTest(x,y,condition)) searches for a global point. meaning if you have two mc's within another mc, and you wish to check if the first mc contains the second mc's x and y values, you would have:

_root.bigmc.mc1.hitTest(_root.bigmc.mc2.
_x + _root.bigmc._x, _root.bigmc.mc2._y + _root.bigmc._y,true)

hope that helped.

firefox

rotation of complex shapes (not cubes, etc.), i believe, is impossible even with cs4. You should try some 3d software if u really want to, but im not sure how exactly they are imported into flash.

give us more info, dumbass

it was all a hoax. They purposely gave it to someone who they can market. It wasn't a completely random drawing. see here:

can a mod lock this shit? i got what i wanted out of this thread. it doesn't need to be bumped constantly.

I'm also gonna add an undo button (for misclicks) for the modification of the path.

rather just save the value of the tile that the player is editing.

"save the current mape as a variable"? lol as a variable? array maybe... but i dont like arrays.

i chuckled off of the washing machine one. I thought the irish turret would have some kind of leprauchan in it or somethin like that, or at least beer, or hitting your wife. but no, it turns enemy into butter.

You could simulate the path of a monster really fast and check if it ends up at the right place

thats what im doing. while(imaginary monster not reached end){
//monster movement here
//condition for path not being complete, which i dont feel like actually explaning{
/end loop
}
}

thats the easy part. the more challenging part is retacing the previous path.

path modification feature. This allows the user to actually change the path the monsters walk in!!! this includes removing blocks, and adding blocks. Each block removed will not cost money, but each block added will cost a ton. It will be very expensive to use this feature.

I'm sure you've dealt with this, but won't people be able to take out a block and leave an uncompleted path? Will this matter or just not be allowed?

ofcourse i've thought of that. if a user does not form a complete path, the previous path form will be re-built with an error message. I havn't coded this yet, but i know it's not impossible, in fact, i have something in mind.

nah, i aint going for that nooby crappy. here's what im gonna have:

1)
kill counter (how many kills each turret has). each turret will feature a self-destruct option. The explosion's radius (size) and damage depends on its experience (kills).

2)
path modification feature. This allows the user to actually change the path the monsters walk in!!! this includes removing blocks, and adding blocks. Each block removed will not cost money, but each block added will cost a ton. It will be very expensive to use this feature.

3)
a touch of defend your castle is added here. You are defending a castle of some sort, which has 4 bunkers / towers. In each tower you can garrison up to 4 units. Units include infranty (cheapest + crappiest) , sniper (long range duh) , rocket launcher dude (for air units), and some other units i'll think of later. Each tower's location is different, so you have to strategize there as well. and when monsters hit your castle / hut / w/e, units may die as well.

i'm willing to take suggestions on other additions to the game, but please, no crappy shit. they have to be well thought-out, and preferably something that hasn't been done before (i havn't seen my ideas in any game i've ever played).

it looks crappy right now compared to what i have in mind for the game.

ah god, that would cause lag.

Devourer turret - 'Eats' enemies and grows larger, increasing range and damage dealt.

i've said this numerous times, i don't really like increasing damage / stats. I just need cool ways of dealing physical damage, like the swarm missile launcher another user suggested in this thread. it launches 4 (6 in upgrade) missiles that pick a random target within the range of the turret (each missile pick a target, they don't go to the same one). so it's like cool how they like home-seek it n shit. another great turret is the prism tower (as seen in red alert 2), and the + / - magnetic turrets. + next to - creates an electrical field, + next to +, or - next to - creates a bombardment field.

i don't get it... it's just a compilation of physics engines?

what's the point? at least if you made it a tutorial or smoething... but just physics engines?

i know the bottom menu thing looks sucky. im working on that now. I'm adding lots of features now. Up to now, all I have done is the basic engine of the game (85 turrets + creeps + etc.) The left side of the screen thing is a copy from gemcraft, i know. I intend to change that - it is TEMPORARY.
Among the features added are a 'modify path' feature, which will enable the user to modify the path of the units (to make the distance longer). For every block added, a certain amount of points will be reduced (expensive). Also, I'm adding a 'defend your castle' kinda thing too. You can hire units to guard your tower (infantry, sniper, etc.). And i'm adding more features, which i won't describe now.

a stability turret Is that how you spell it?
a unstable turret that fires energy but the more enemy's it kills the more damage it deals while becoming more radioactive, until it becomes so radioactive that it explodes dealing damage to enemy's and your turrets. It is risky turret but it is powerful.

this has been suggested before, believe it or not. my game will feature a self-destruct option, but not in the manner you describe. Other than my feature, I'm not making any self-destruct turrets. Also, increasing power isn't a great idea. thanks though.
